Run with Friends This Summer

Back by popular demand, the Newton Summer Running Project offers enthusiastic, if informal, support for building a nice aerobic base over the summer months.

The NSRP is nothing more or less than an opportunity to meet for group runs. Last summer we met at Cold Spring Park at 6:15 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesday every week from June to mid-August. After a brief, disorganized discussion about who wanted to run how far, we got started at about 6:30. Some people ran long and pretty fast (we had one group that typically did 12 miles). Other people ran short and slow (I typically ran anywhere from 4-7 miles very slowly). Others were in-between. The only way this works is that we have a really great group of people and we are flexible.

Our first run of 2008 will be Wednesday, June 11. Let's meet at 6:15 and get going right away.

I will be doing a VERY short run and won't be able to stick around long, but the important thing is that we get started. We can also decide whether to continue last year's Monday-Wednesday routine from Cold Spring, or be more adventurous and try new venues.

I hope to see some of you there.
