Mission: Eagle Creek

Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

Join me this Sunday at Eagle Creek Park where I will be doing a 3-4 hour trail run, beginning at 8:30am, sharp. I will be departing from the Peace Learning Center/Peace Through Yoga and running "long loop" from last Sunday's adventure. The loop takes around an hour to complete and my intention is to complete up to 4 laps, maybe more, maybe less, depending on how I feel. You can join me for a single lap, or hang around for 2, 3, or more laps! All you have to do is show up at the Peace Learning Center prior to 8:30, and be ready to roll. Or, if you want to join in a little later for lap 2, 3, or 4 just come to the Learning Center, I'll be making pit stops after each lap, so you can hook in later if you like.

This "mission" is very different from last weeks Adventure. Last weeks hike/run was all about fun and fellowship; for me, this is a pretty serious run, as I am still learning and testing out a few things for next months trail marathon. Also, when I'm doing these sorts of runs, I don't talk much, rather I like to zone-in and focus. You would be joining me for your own workout/experience, and perhaps offer some pacing/support for lil 'ol me. I've been waaaaay under the weather this week with a nasty sore throat, mild fever, and cough, which finally broke last night. So, I'm sure I'll be moving pretty slow-moderate on Sunday.

I know, I've made it sound sooooo appealing it's hard to resist, right? Trust me, it will be "fun", but a different kind of fun than last week.

If you are interested, you can email me: chris-roche@comcast.net, or just show up on Sunday.

If anyone wants to hook up with others to hike on Sunday, rather than running with me, feel free to leave comments here, exchange emails and make a plan, or email me to pass the word. It would be great to have a small band of conscious fitness warriors "invade" the Eagle Creek Trails on Sunday.

Peace,
Chris
