It was cold!
Love the idea moving from Panera in order to incorporate more of the course on our runs.
The food is a definate plus. I'm looking forward to another breakfast sandwich next week.
Thanks Lance. I have heard several positive comments about the move to Cafe Moxo.
I have also heard from some folks who are concerned about parking downtown. I beleive there are more than enough parking places within just a couple blocks of Moxo. I realize it might be a little farther to walk then Panera, but I think the friendly atmosphere of Moxo and the idea that we can run the actual route outweigh the ease of parking at Panera.
Oh yeah...I also heard several comments about the hills yesterday!
Sorry folks...I know that was a hilly course yesterday, but the second half of the LM is hilly. So you will thank me in the end:-)
I really enjoyed the run, hills and cold included. This seems like a great program.
Thanks Tim!
Here are some photos from Saturday's run.

These is my 3rd year w/the group & have found this unique blend of folks beneficial to my success as a runner. I’m the back-of-the pack runner and have lots of time for observations. I’m not here to be critical. I hope to enlighten others of what I’m seeing. The move from Panera to downtown is a great idea but I do think there is more traffic to contend with & the safety of the runners is on my mind & I would like to share it with everyone. I noticed that when we run, we take up the WHOLE road (right lane, left lane and the center). I saw a lot of close calls and much more horn honking this time around & I’m fearful we’re going to get written up in the SJR on our lack of road etiquette. I prefer sidewalks myself & take them when the opportunity arises. Maybe a plug for sticking to one side and/or at the very least not running down the middle of the road?
