Left Turns Only

Feb 27 2012 Route

Kudos to everyone on Presidents' Day Run. I'm sure some of you were amazed by the number of presidents on the last run. And if you missed the hidden president, the answer is at the end of last week's blog. This week it's easier. It's all left turns. It's like going around the block. So come on out!

Answer: Add 1 to any of the routes. The hidden president is Lincoln. I know, most of you are thinking "how could that be. Lincoln is in the Sunset district." If you look carefully on Gmap, you'll notice "Lincoln Highway". There's a little history on it. Just Google it! Next year, Lincoln Highway will celebrate it's 100th anniversary.

Feb 13 2012 Route

UPDATE: As of 1:30pm on Monday the 13th. It's starting to clear up. It's Urban Run luck. So, for those who were having second thoughts about the run tonight... DON'T! Come on out! See you there. And YES we'll still have hot cocoa waiting you. =)

Well folks, it looks like rain. But don't let that stop you. Consider it training in the rain. Test yourself. You'll never know what the weather is like on race day. Especially for those who signed up for the "US Half Marathon - The Other Half". The Challenge route is perfect for those who are training for the "US Half Marathon - The Other Half", considering what happened last year. If you don't know what happened last year, just ask someone who did it. We'll tell ya. Be sure to bring a change of clothing too. And for your efforts, we'll have some hot cocoa to warm you up along with the water and Gatorade. See you there.
