Six miles is our
distance this Sunday. Our numbers will be somewhat small – what with Bill
running Grapes of Half, and Michele and Neal volunteering there (and training
their longest on Saturday for the Newport Half).
The crowd on the
river paths could be large, as hundreds of dogs lead their two-legged runners and
walkers through Bark in the Park. We’ll do our best to detour around them and
their 8:30 start at Alton Baker.
Our course (with
an 8:00 start from the Eugene Running Company): Oakway and Coburg Roads to
Ferry Street Bridge and don’t cross. Turn right onto bike path, past Valley
River footbridge to “0.75” milepost. Turn AROUND there and come back the same
way: Ferry and store. GPS distance to be checked but close to 6.0.
Bring a drink
for delivery at Valley River, about 2.5 and 3.5 miles. Weather forecast:
starting temperature about 50 (afternoon high in 80s!) with little chance of
rain.
Looking ahead, we’ll run as usual on the Sunday of Memorial weekend (seven miles). Then we will skip the first Sunday in June, while others and I are at Newport, before resuming (with eight miles) on the 11th.
