And on the seventh day, God said take the day off.
Day 66.
A Sunday off. Ahhhhhhhh.
We’ve got 27 days until we run 13.1 miles, my friends. If you don’t know the route, you can get it by clicking here.
The route starts at the stop sign in the middle of the Fonner Park parking lot. It head north, across Fonner Park Road, up Pleasant View Dr. to Sunset Ave. Take Sunset east to Cherry (it isn’t a straight through, it goes a block, then half a block north, then another block over to Cherry). Then take Cherry all the way to the start of the trail. (This is the turnaround point for the 5K.) Then follow the trail all the way to College Park. Cross the highway and take the trail, it appears, until it comes even with the main museum building at Stuhr Museum.
Then turn around and do it all again backwards.
I’d like to do a 10 mile run the Saturday before, that will start at the beginning, go all the way to the end, then stop three miles short – which is around the ball diamonds at the Platte Deustche. Everyone is welcome to join me. It will start at about 7 a.m. Tell your friends.
I hope everyone who is planning to run the Bill Seymour is cool with me and my pace. I don’t think I’ll beat my friends’ times, and I don’t think it matters anymore. I just don’t think I can run it in under 2:10. Maybe closer to 2:25. That’s the time I want to beat. But we’ve got 27 days for me to improve on that.
27 days, my friends. 27 days.
