CHANGE OF THURSDAY RUN LOCATION

This Thursday's run is at South Valley Park (T=2, P=2, N=2; BMms). The
main group will start at 6:20pm; the early group starts around 5:30pm.
We will meet at the lot off of South Valley road, not the one on Deer
Creek.

This is a fairly flat and easy run. To modify the route descriptions,
do 1 or 2 loops of the Grazing Elk trail. Then, if you want to do a
little more, on the way back, ~0.3 mi after crossing the road, go
right, then in another 0.2mi, go left onto the Coyote Song trail and
take that back to the start. From the Coyote Song trail, you can also
do a quick jog out on the Lyon's Back trail and do a short loop on the
Columbine and Cathy Johnson trails.

If you are new to this trail, please follow the link below to maps,
route descriptions, driving directions, and other information about
the DenverTrailRunners.

9/8: Apex

++++++++++

Tue morning runs continue at South Table Mtn (T=3, P=2, N=4) on
Tuesday mornings, 5:15am. You should bring a hand or head light for
the start of the run. Please see the message posted on Mondays, or
contact Ray: r2grundmeyer@...

Wed mornings, run stairs at Red Rocks. This is a "show-and-go"
workout, meaning that just start whenever you show up. People have
been starting anywhere from 5:30-6:30am. Is anyone showing up or
should I drop this listing?

This Saturday's Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) will be at the
Evergreen Lake House. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes
long. They usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please
forward your questions to Dave via the ERC link below. For more info

Kasey Robbert should be done with her Appalachian Trail journey by the
time you read this. You can read about her journey at
http://backpackermadness.blogspot.com/. There will be a party for her
on Saturday evening, August 27. Check with me on Thursday for details.

Save gas. Save money. It's more fun to go with a group. Send me a
note, info@..., if interested in carpooling to any
upcoming events. I'll try to help you find a driving partner. Please
send me the information by the weekend prior to the event.

Talon is looking to carpool to the Goblin Valley 50k race (see below):
"I would like to know if anyone is planning or interested in going to
this event. I plan on going and would love to carpool. If someone
would like to share a room, that would be cool too. I plan on going
down Friday and coming back Sunday." runtalon@...

I (Adam) am looking to share a ride and/or lodging to Imogene. Please
contact me at info@..., or 303-870-0487

If you are going to the Eldora race this weekend, and interested in
carpooling, let me know by Thursday. I'll have some apps at the run.
