I'm following a different training schedule. What do I do if my mileage is different from the routes posted?

Example 1:
If you are running 10 miles. Simply, run to the 5 mile mark, turn around, and trot on home. I DO NOT have anything placed at each mile marker. You'll just need to remember the street name (Miller Road) for your turn around point. In the future, I hope to have mile markers placed along the route. However, I don't at this time.

Example 2:
You can also run with the group the entire time. On the way back stop at your mile marker and get in the vehicle with Coach Momma C (our roaming water attendant). She can drive you back to your vehicle or you can help pass out water! If you're running 15 miles. Run the 8.5 miles out. Run the additional 6.5 miles back by stopping at (Kent Road) and get in vehicle with Coach Momma C.

Example 3:
Run the mileage out, run the mileage back until your stop point. Walk the remaining miles as a stretch and cool down.

Saturday's 17 Mile Route

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH 44685

Time
Arrive 6:20-6:24 am
Run 6:30

Description
I've picked this route because we have NEW RUNNERS (woo hoo) to the Trinity Trotters. So, this route is a straight shot with no turns. This is easier for people unfamiliar with the area!

This 17 mile run is an 8.5 mile out-and-back. You will go down Market Street for approximately 1.5 miles. You'll turn left on Lake O Pines. This is a beautiful road featuring one of Hartville's largest homes on the left before Kent Road. Enjoy the scenery and horses. Continue straight and Lake O Pines will cross over Kent Road. Keep going straight and Lake O Pines will turn into Nimishillen. You will be on this road for a VERY LONG TIME! Nimishillen will cross over Middlebranch. Keep going for miles and miles! You are going to take a beautiful jaunt through farm country. You will have some hills, but they are minimal. You're going to turn left on Ravenna Road and keep on trotting. You are going to see a blue sign, which indicates Maize Valley Farm is coming soon. You will find an orange construction cone with a 26.2 sticker on it...This means TURN AROUND and BRING IT ON HOME!!!

Running Tip of the Week-Road ID

www.roadid.com

$2.00 savings coupon code- LEVI

Do you run alone? Do you carry an ID when you run? If you were unconscious how could people help you? Would they know your name? Would they have an emergency number?

I've got an answer. Consider purchasing the Road ID for $19.99. You can get a wrist, ankle, or shoe attached ID with your name and pertinent contact information. I ordered my shoe attached Road ID yesterday.
