How about a nice 6.2-mile run Monday morning, May 28, in observance of Memorial Day?
We'll meet at the Grandstand on the state fairgrounds at 7 and run everyone's favorite 10k course. The Abe's Amble course goes right through the war memorials area of Oak Ridge Cemetery, and you can pay your own respects to all those who have given what Abe called the "last full measure of devotion" for all of us.
This is a completely casual run, which means you need to bring your own water, Gatorade, white wine, or whatever you like to drink on a morning run.
It's a nice way to gear up for Abe's Army, a good way to get in a decent run over the holiday, and a unique way to remember those who fought for freedom. See you there!

Barry: thanks for posting this! Don't know if we'll be there Monday morning (Madison is on Sunday and we'll be home late Sunday night) but this is a great way to celebrate Memorial Day!
Tim, I hope you and all the Half Wits who are going to Madison have a great run!

Hey, how did the abe's memorial run go?
Hi, anonymous!
The Memorial Day run was great. We had a good crowd (my guess was around 30 people--did anyone count noses?) and a nice run. The weather was weird, with a cool temperature but very humid air.
We missed you. Everyone was saying, "I thought anonymous was gonna be here today."
:)
