With my name on the Q sheet the PAX did not know what to expect but with some renewed Q-drenaline going we were able to knock out some miles on the track. Mosey down to the lower parking lot to try to get out of the wind, no such luck, with a warmup featuring…

We have had some veteran complicated routes on Spider Run lately. YHC did some recon on Monday afternoon to confirm some distances for the 4, 5 and 6 milers. TYA had mentioned that we need some Grove Avenue workouts and with the Hill up UR drive, this makes for a nice workout route so here is the Plan. Everyone starts up UR drive then a right on Campus Drive, this turns into Towana Road and becomes the access road after you cross Three Chopt. We all stay on this road until we reach Grove Ave and you run East on…
