Last Homerun for the Homeless run

tmeder — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:41:28 GMT

Familiarization run for the homerun for the homeless in Akron Tues Nov 24th. We will be running a hard tempo of the thanksgiving race to get used to the hills in the cemetery. Meet near the start line behind the soup kitchen near Krispy Kreme on Maple st. at 4:25-4:45 pm. Early start due to the cemetery closing at dusk and closing gates.

Hope to see you there!

toe numbness and bruising

BethD — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:31:40 GMT

I have just finished my 3rd marathon and seem to constantly have problems with my toes getting bruised, blood blisters and numb. I wore custom (hard) 3/4 length orthotics that hadn't been changed since around 1992 (before having my daughter who is now 14!). I had new orthotics made (softer and full length) in late September at Comfort Wear on Cedar and they seem to be okay...but no matter what I do (tech socks, best shoes fitted for me, moving up a size, etc.), my toes are my biggest problem at every long race of over 10 miles. At the Marine Corps, my toes were really killing me by the end of the race (wore Mizuno sem-racing flats for the race and train in Addidas Supernovas).....two of the twos on my left foot were numb for a couple of weeks after the race! Any advice?

NEO Trail Night Run - Tue Nov 10th 6:00 PM

Slim — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:19:35 GMT

We will meet in the Bedford Reservation, at the Egbert Picnic Area on Gorge Parkway. This is near the East end of the park near Egbert Road.

http://www.clemetparks.com/visit/index.asp?ispopup=yes&action=rmaps&reservations_id=1000

Starting time will be 6:00 PM. The goal is 3 to 5 hours of time on our feet. Very conservative pace. We have never lost anyone on a Night Run, nor ever left anyone behind.

As always, this is not an ordinary trail run. You will get dirty, wet feet, maybe even scratched from some briars. We might not even know exactly where we are for a portion of the run. We will be Off-Piste for quite a bit of the travels through the night. Up and down some hills and makeing several stream crossings, doing all the fun stuff.

Any questions, please ask.

Nov 12 - CRTR Group Run - Lock 29

jimc — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:56:30 GMT

Meet at Lock 29 - Run starts at 6:30 pm - Bring a headlamp!

Leaving Lock 29, we will run to Rt 303 and turn left. Up old Rt 303 to Pine Lane trailhead. Turn right on Valley Bridle Trail and across Rt 303. Down the hill and across Akron-Peninsula Road picking up the trail down the gravel road at the Par 3 golf course. Continue on Valley Bridle until it crosses Akron-Peninsula road again. Turn left and run road back to Lock 29.

Should be about 5 miles...easier trail run...hilly, at times, but nothing technical. I'm thinking 3 of the 5 miles is on roads (or what used to be a road). Good for people wanting to try running at night on trails.

Winking Lizard after...

Be there at 5:45 for a few extra miles if you want.
