This Thursday Night trailrunning group has been a BLAST, lately!
________________________________________________
Special Weather Note:
There is always a chance of severe weather for these runs. We will usually run
in a light rain, but we will NOT meet if there are severe thunderstorms or high
winds (at the time of the run). A little mud here and there is not bad, but
trees or branches falling onto us or lightning zapping near us is not cool.

Tonight, we'll be running on rocky & rooty trails in Shawnee Mission Park, (near
sunset), at 8:30 PM. This is an all-comers, non-organized, night trail-training
event. Dress will be "trail casual" and flashlights and/or headlamps are a
must, unless you like falling on your face. Our pace will be such that we will
start slow, and will always wait for the slowest runner to catch up. We will
run for 45 minutes to 1 hour. This translates into about 5 miles, for you
anal-mileage-types.
This is a really good way to increase "trail feel" and to get your "trail legs"
if you are training for trailrunning events. It's also real fun.
Meeting Time: Thursday, 8:30 PM...we'll start running at 8:40 PM.
