Saturday's long run: Big 12 Loop

yeah, it needs a better name. we'll see what turns up. i imagine there might be some colorful suggestions when we're going uphill on Exposition... here's a map of the route as it stands right now, subject to change.

i need to plan our water stops for Saturday morning, so i need to know who all is planning to come out to run. and, if you're not up to 12 miles, let me know where you're at, mileage-wise, and there'll be alternate routes available.

as for the route, all the hilliness is pretty much in the first four miles, except for the long uphill on North Loop in mile seven. i'm trying to keep us off of sidewalks and on softer streets with less traffic. Amy and Chuck, i know you like the softer Hike and Bike Trail, but you're about to run a half marathon on pavement, so i think it's to your benefit to be prepared for that. run your shorter runs on the trail - that's 2/3 of your mileage right now, anyway. your long run the weekend before the race can also be on the trail.

so. holla.
