Saturday, August 22nd runs

There are 3 maps for the above run. There is a 10 mile, an 8 mile and a 5+ mile. Since folks are running different training schedules, you can plug in the runs you need for your distance. Car poolers will meet at 4 A.M. at Bagel Nosh and drive to Granada Park in Phoenix for the 4:30 A.M start. Granada Park is located here . Click on the maps for a larger view.

10 mile run Note: the turn onto Central is a left and not a right turn!

Bike Ride, Sunday August 23rd.

This just in from Pat and Jolene!

We’re planning a recreation bike ride for Sunday August 23rd at 8 a.m.
from Tempe Town Lake Marina. See map below for location. If you see or know
of new members that might be interested, please forward this to them.
Somewhere around the half way mark we’ll stop for a “snack.”
All welcome for fun and conversation. Let me know if we should expect you.

Rec Path

Many of you may know about Rec Path but for those who don’t I highly recommend this site for planning your runs.  When arriving in a new location (or from home) I’ll locate my hotel on Google Earth and with “satellite” view look for green space, trails, rivers or any place that might offer a great run. Then I’ll pull up Rec Path and map my run with this easy to use tool. It calculates your distance as you plot the run and if you make a mistake you can easily remove the last points you may have placed in error. You can also view and plot your Rec Path runs in “satellite” view if you desire. Want to start over just click the erase tool and begin again. From my experience the distances I plot using Rec Path are pretty close to the totals on my Forerunner 205.
