An ending and a beginning conveniently coincide this Sunday. We celebrate not just last Sunday's efforts but also the past months of Sundays together. And we look ahead to the summer of training as a team. That will launch officially in early June, with the traditional seven-mile run, but you're welcome to join the half-marathoners this week and next.
I realize that not all of you will continue, but I'm sending this message to everyone this week only. Our summer training will target the Coburg Half (July 19th), and Portland Marathon (October 4th) or Victoria Marathon/Half (October 11th). Everyone trains the same through Coburg.
For the last time until next winter, we'll start at 8 o'clock. (Next week and from then on through September it's 7:30.) Begin and end at the Eugene Running Company.
The route is a little less than five miles, or shorter if you choose: Oakway and Coburg Roads to Ferry Street Bridge and across. Turn onto bike path, to Valley River footbridge and across. Turn right, back to Ferry and store. GPS distance is 4.87 miles.
Bring a drink for delivery at Valley River, about halfway. Weather forecast: starting temperature in 40s with little chance of rain.
