Howdy pardners!
Here is this weeks run. It is one we have done before, but it suits are needs well, so I thought it was worth doing again.
Start:Shoreline
Time:6:00 am Up with the chickens!
Map link: www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=317975
Description: Start at Shoreline and head West on the GB, until you reach the Train Bridge that takes you to Orchard. Run to Orchard Rd and then head back to the GB. Once back to the GB, you will continue West on the GB, until you reach Main Street Overpass. Go under the Overpass, circle back to the bridge, crossover the bridge, to the South side of the River, near Joe's, and then continue West on the GB. Once you reach the Bridge at Veteran's, you will crossover to the North side, loop down and continue West on the GB, heading towards Willow Lane. Continue on the GB, until you reach Glenwood Bridge, go under, cross over to the North side, and then head down the path by the Pond. We should go approximately .8 to 1 mile down this path. Then STOP and head on back. You will want to cross back over at Glenwood, to the South side of the GB and take it back, staying on the North side of the river. You can then just head back to Shoreline Park.
Accommodations: There are bathrooms at Shoreline, Willow Lane, the Trailer Park near Glenwood, and a Porta Potty near the turning point. (Hopefully they are all open) I believe there is also water at the first 3 mentioned places.
So hitch up your wagons and let's get a rollin'

Hola fellow sloths!
Hope all of you that ran the Miner's Death March are faring well. We have another challenging run this week, but it is only 15...so we have that going for us.
It is a basic out and back, with a twist...we are leaving from Fort Boise and running to the top of Adalpe Summit and then back down. I have mapped it at 14.89, but the tool may be off a bit, so it should be close to 15. There really is no water on the course, so please bring plenty. There is a porta potty at approximately mile 3 or 4, so this means at 11 or 12 also.
Here is the site to see the map www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=313891. I will also post it on the Sloth site also.
Start time: 6:30?? I am thinking a little later as it is supposed to be cooler this weekend and the elevation should make it cooler? If we want a sooner start time, just let me know and I can revise it.
Have a great week!
