There are only two hills, a short one at 5K (a water stop's usually on the top of the hill) and the other starts at about 8K as you run up through the PMQs. I hope we have good weather for it!

Yup - me. Ran 6.5 of it on Sunday - nice and flat, seems like it will be a good time.

Hi Guys, I teach a fitness class on Monday evenings from 630-730pm, so I won't be able to do Monday...Have fun!

Sounds great! Why don't we meet at the Acadia Gym doors at 7pm? Looking forward to it!

Early mornings are not my best time...I usually 'come alive' in the afternoon and do my best efforts then and in the evening. Karen, Monday the 9th would definitely work for me. Could we say 7pm, that way supper would be over with and out of the way (DH tends to get home 6-6:30 range). I could meet you near your place and we could go from there. I have a Garmin so can track our distance. If you are near New Minas we could try there as the sidewalks should be cleared and lit. Let me know what you think! (Andrea and others...if you want to join, come along!)

Yeah! I'm excited to run with both of you!
Andrea, in the AM I would run between 6:30-7:30 sometime, depending on the day. I'm a grad student here...so my hours vary with practicum, class, work.
Angela, I would definitely go in the evening after 5pm too!
I'm trying to think of a good time to suggest...but this week is a little hectic and I'm heading into the city for the weekend.
How does Monday PM work for you Angela? I have an appt at 4:00pm...so I'm thinking around 6pm would be a good start time. I live on Main St toward New Minas. I'm not sure where the best place to meet would be...I usually run out that way but I'm open to suggestions.
I was also planning to go on either Wed or Thurs AM, if that works for either of you guys.
Karen

I tend to run early in the morning because its the only time I can claim for myself. I also find that by the end of the day I am too tired to push myself to improve. I am hoping to get back running 3 times a week in the next week or so. I hurt my ankle quite badly in early December and I am only now feeling confident enough to try running again. My sights are set on the Bluenose 10k to improve last year's time. Where and what time do you run in the mornings Karen?
