Thursday Night Run Group - New Location Same Good Time

[Christine Vassen]

With it being very dark by 6PM - we've been hunting for a 'winter home' for the Thursday Group.  We wanted the one mile loop so that as a group of varied paced runners we'd be able to keep an eye on each other for general safety as well as being able to motivate each other as the faster runners loop the strangles.  Encouragement and safety will hopefully keep us running solid all winter.

 

The group decided to try Frontier Park last Thursday.  I've never been down there before so I was a little worried about getting lost etc etc.  We missed the first loop and tried to shorten the route but Tom quickly adjusted our route to almost a one mile loop.  After a couple times around, we had a good solid run. 

 

It's got a hill in the route but it's definitely wide enough for people to run 2 across without crowding.  Running with the group eliminated the temptation to short cut the run and go to Country Fair for something yummy of the chocolate variety.....

 

As Theressa has mentioned before, it's a variety of paces and we run about an hour or so.  We'll be running throughout the winter and at this point, this seems a good potential home through the winter.  Theressa welcome varied of paces to come out and enjoy the uniqueness of running in Erie's fall/winter weather.  Thursday 6PM at the Frontier Park Tennis Courts - flashlights definitely a bonus/requirement.

 

Thanks
