Runs from JRWS

Sunday we’ll be running from John’s Run/Walk Shop. We’ll meet at 7:30 and 9:45. (I’ll be doing 2 loops, so between refueling and a bathroom break, I should be ready to head back out at 9:45).

I worked on several different routes for you guys. If you need other distances, just let me know and we’ll see what we can come up with. I will not have maps with me so please either print up the map yourself, write the directions on your arm, or click the little “Send to Phone” box and it will send it to your phone! How exciting!

This is my loop. 10 miles. I’ll be doing it twice.

Here is a 6.5ish loop. (You turn around on Fontaine at Richmond Rd.)

This one is 4.75.

And this one is 3.5.

Let me know if you’re coming by signing up on the spreadsheet…and indicate if I should look for you at 7:30 or 9:45!

Remember – we’ll also be running at the Tomorrow’s Children 5K in Frankfort on Saturday and will have another group run on Sunday at 4pm on the Brighton Rail Trail.

Happy running!

Running Route – Iron Horse Half Marathon

I love the course for the Iron Horse Half Marathon. And I’m excited that we get to run it!

We’ll meet at Darlin’ Jean’s and will run parts of the Iron Horse Half Marathon course. This course is hilly and challenging, but is so beautiful. (You can find my race report here.)

Here’s the map of the course from the race website.

Here is a map of the course from MapMyRun.

It is basically an out and back times 2. From town, you can head out Stephens in either direction. Then come back and go the other way. Any mileage is easy to navigate on this course.

I really think that this course is a balance of rolling hills and beauty. There is minimal traffic. Midway College is in the middle for facilities if necessary. It may be a little bit of a drive, but I think it is worth every mile.

I hope to see you there!

Happy running,

krissie

Shillito Park

Bethany came through with some awesome directions.

if entering from the Reynolds Road entrance close to the mall, drive into the park, pass the pool on your right, pass the tennis courts also on your right, and pass the playground (on your right). you’ll get to a parking lot (on your right) that’s the last parking lot before you exit the park–this is probably the best location to meet.

The course itself is about 2.3 miles so you’re welcome to come and run, walk, run/walk as many laps as you’d like!

 

Happy running!

Group Run – Run the Bluegrass!

I love the course of the Run the Bluegrass Half-Marathon. We have several different options – 4 miles, 7 miles, and full 13 mile courses. We will be starting at 7:30. Pictures from previous run on this course can be found here.

Parking: When you come into Keeneland from Versailles Road/Man O’War, take your first right. There will be a sign there for the Keene Barn and Entertainment Center. We park behind it. You go up the hill, around the buildings, and the parking lot is right back there! If you come into Keeneland from some other way, here’s a map. (Right there on the top right by the picnicking horse.)

Routes:

4 mile route: Click for more detail.

7 mile route: Click for more detail

13.1 mile route. Click for details. This route includes Old Frankfort Pike which will have more traffic than the other routes.

Questions? Concerns? Fears? Leave ‘em in the comments!

And, if you don’t care, sign up here so I’ll know roughly who to look for. (You don’t have to sign up to come, I just like to know!)

I hope to see you there!

Group Run – Legacy Trail

Group runs at  the Legacy Trail are so wide open. It is out and back so any distance is possible! . We meet at the Coldstream Trailhead.

The Coldstream Trailhead is the dot on the left. So if you come from Newtown Pike, you will drive about halfway around the circle. This IS NOT where the dog park is or where races are held. Keep on going around. You can see the parking area by the road and there is a porta john there.

The Legacy Trail is out-and-back, so you can go as short or as far as you want. I like going north on the trail toward the Horse Park (that’s about 4.5 miles away). You can add mileage at that point by running around the Horse Park too. Going under the interstate is pretty cool. There are more details about the trail at MyLegacyTrail.com.

Brighton Rail Trail

We’ll run the Brighton Rail Trail. We meet behind the Hamburg Liquor Barn. It is out-and-back, so you can do any distance you want. The paved/gravel trail hits Polo Club after a little more than a mile. (Pictures of the trail are here.) Here’s a basic map of that route. (Click picture for link at mapmyrun)

You can turn left on Polo Club and hit Man O’War a little more than a mile later. Or if you turn right on Polo Club, you hit Deer Haven in a little more than a mile. Turn around there and it is 4 miles and change total.

But instead of turning around, you can turn Left on Deer Haven. If you run that out to where it hits Winchester Road, you’ll get close to 10. You can also run across Winchester Road before turning back for more mileage.

YMCA Clinic + Group Run

It is a great weekend to be a LexRunLady!

We’ll start off Saturday at 8 am with a Strength and Conditioning Clinic at the High Street YMCA!

Anyone who wants to run from there is strongly encouraged! I don’t know if I’ll make it, though. My body has thrown me a little curveball. I’ll be playing it by ear. But I have found a few routes from the YMCA.

2 miles.

4 miles.

and 8 miles.

The maps don’t show a lot of detail, so please click to enlarge and familiarize yourself with any route you plan on taking.

And remember! If Saturday doesn’t work for you, the Resolution Runners will be meeting at the Arboretum at 4 on Sunday!

I hope to see you this weekend!

Happy running!

Group Run and Gear Clinic

Wednesday evening, the LexRunLadies will invade Chevy Chase!

We’ll have a group run at 6 followed by a Cold Gear Clinic at 7 at John’s Run/Walk Shop. This clinic is for LexRunLadies and personal guests only. I’m so excited to have this just for us!

I have figured out options for 2, 3 and 4 miles. We will have an hour to run before the clinic starts, so please don’t choose a distance you can’t finish in an hour. Also, it will be dark so bring reflective gear and lights if at all possible. And if you have extra, please bring some to share. I’ll do my best to make sure that one person can be easily seen and be the leader for the group. Please look over the maps. The screenshots are small and do not show all street names. I’ll have a few maps to hand out.
