Thursday Run

http://www.finishstrongmovie.com/

Hello Team Austin! Thank you, Lee, for sending out the note about last night. I am happy to say that I am back in town and ready to tackle the challenge of the second half of our training. I have attached a short video called "Finish Strong" to provide some additional inspiration.

We can do this!

What do you think of the Lake Union Loop for Thursday night. I know it is a repeat, but I like it and it is pretty well lit.

Thanks for the video - while a little corny - inspirational messages always make me realize how good/easy/fortunate my life is (the one arm surfer chick - must have lots of hutzpa to keep surfing!)


While on our 6.5 mi! Monday night run (Jen, Melinda & I) hatched a plan for a festive eastside run on Thursday - through the Bellevue Botanical garden (w/ holiday lights) Melinda has a route & start time to be determined (6ish works for Jen and Deb may join us too)

Barb - If an eastside run works for you this week it would be great! (we could run lake union next week). Previous comments/communication have Emily, Lauren not running w/ us and Andrew a maybe.

Anyone else interested?

I'm definitely out for tomorrow night; sorry, Barb!

Hello. Bellevue Botanical Garden sounds great..much more creative then Lake Union suggestion. :) 6pm is really early for me to get over to the East side. Can we say 6:15pm or 6:30pm?

Jennifer said...

I could do a little later -Melinda, Do we meet at your house?

I have had a change in plans and can meet for the run on Thursday...However, I don't think I would be able to make it to the eastside by 6pm (traffic). Would people be willing to push to 6:15?

Lee said...

YES - 6:15 (even 6:30!)
It will be fun

Melinda will give us info on the starting location!

I'll plan on bringing hot cider in a thermos!

Okay, we're on for the Bellevue Botanical Gardens 6:30 Thursday. In consideration of quick warmth after viewing the lights, I'll have us start close to the light display.
Meet at WILBURTON HILL PARK, the entrance is at the CORNER OF MAIN STREET AND 124TH AVE NE. To get there from southbound I-405, take NE 8th exit east to 124th Ave NE, drive south to Main Street. Park at the south end of the lot near the soccer field. From norhtbound I-405, take the SE 8th exit, stay to the left on the exit parallel to I-405 (I think it's called 116th exit--sorry, it's fairly new). At the light at the end of the exit, turn left (north) on 116th, then right on SE 1st, up the steep hill, turn right on Main Street past the Bonatical Gardens to Wilburton Hill Park at 124th. If those directions are confusing you can take the NE 8th exit from either direction.
We'll be mostly on good trails, but it will be dark, so be sure to bring a light. We'll finish the run at the Botanical Gardens, so you can enjoy the lights.
See you all tomorrow.

6:30pm it is. Great idea! I look forward to seeing everyone. It has been too long.
