Subject: Return of the Sunday run and start of Tuesday nights
Date: Monday, October 12, 2009, 1:42 PM






 





Hi all.  Two announcements:

1.  This Sunday, October 18th we will begin our weekly Sunday run series at
Cromwell Valley Park just north of Towson, Md.

We run the mostly wooded trails of Cromwell Valley each Sunday weather
permitting, for between 60-90 minutes, starting at 8am (sharp). Trail shoes are
not necessary.


This is a no-drop run, meaning nobody gets left behind. If you need a fast
paced, uninterrupted workout, this may not be for you. Faster runners do run
ahead, but the leaders wait up for everyone at the tops of hills and trail
intersections. Our main goal is to have fun and get in a good workout. There are
options to drop out for shorter runs if desired with pretty easy to follow
trails.


Your shoes may get muddy, and your feet may get wet. We do run quite a few
hills, on grass, over roots and rocks, and cross a stream or two. If you are
strictly a road runner, warning you may get hooked!

Club membership is not necessary to participate. Bring anyone you know who may
enjoy a group run on the trails.


LOCATION: Cromwell Valley Park, off of exit 29 on the Baltimore Beltway, take
the willow grove entrance (the 2nd park entrance) - directions are here:

============ ========= ========= ===

2. Results of the inquiry into a nighttime trail running group were surprisingly
positive, definitely strong enough to start a group and see how it goes.
Starting NEXT Tuesday, October 20th, we will run the trails of Loch Raven from
Seminary and Dulaney Valley roads at 6:30pm. You will need a headlamp of some
sort. I can strongly recommend this lamp http://www.rei. com/product/ 768981
available at REI (but I was just there today and they were out of stock). You
will need a lamp putting out at least 40 lumens, the more the better. Most of
them have their lumen number available on the packaging. Lesser headlamps, in
the $20-30 range are just barely good enough, but with a group they should be
OK, but just barely OK. The lamp I recommended is surprisingly bright! A little
handheld LED flashlight is not a bad idea either, it helps with depth perception
and is a good safety measure in case your primary lamp fails.


SO, with that said, Tuesdays, 6:30PM, park at Seminary and Dulaney, either on
the side of the road or the church parking lot. The group will gather at the
edge of the parking lot. We will run for about 60 minutes, Starting on Tuesday,
October 20. A reminder will go out weekly


And for those of you reading this and thinking "what is wrong with these
people?".... who knows, but it is really nice to not be bound by the daylight,
and trust me, running the trails at night is fun, and way cool.
