One dear friend-by-correspondence has kindly told me that my interminable running reports here are not her cup of tea. Point taken! I can't promise much visible change, but I've been trying to use the Running Logbook mechanism as a vehicle to practice my writing, and I'll strive to do better. Meanwhile, as a speaker at a recent meeting said, "If you're ever bored—more bored than you are now, that is— ...".
So, for my own reference and convenience and memory, here's a tentative list of upcoming events that I hope to participate in.
Jul 10 Midsummer Night's Mile track meet Jul 26 Riley's Rumble half marathon Aug 1 Catoctin 50k trail run Aug 7 Go For the Glory track meet Aug 15 Comus Run cross-country 5k Sep 5-6 The Ring Massanutten Trail, 71 miles Sep 13 Parks Half Marathon Sep 19 Gunpowder Falls 50k Sep 20 Bachman Valley Half Marathon Sep 26 Lake Needwood cross-country 10k Oct 10 Andiamo W&OD Trail 44.5 miles Nov 1 Potomac Heritage 50k Nov 28 Northern Central Trail Marathon Dec 12 Magnus Gluteus Maximus on the Bull Run Trail
Criteria for inclusion on the above include:
In other words, if possible I try to support events that cross delightful terrain, that cost less than $1/mile, and that friends of mine are involved in as organizers or participants. What other upcoming runs have I forgotten?
