Wednesday March 8 - Climbing Lenore...
Route #10
This week we revisit one of our newer routes Route #10 – The Electric Slide. or Boogaloo. Or something like that. We meet at the corner of 11th & Holly at 6pm. We run every Wednesday – rain or shine. If you are a run/walker and want to get a head start, meet at 5:45pm and join the Lasty Nasties. You can READ HERE for more info on how our Wednesday night runs work. Be sure to wear something that creates or reflects light. Just one more week until Daylight Savings Time...
This route is awesome (with one of the greatest hills in East Nashville) but you need to be extra cautious at one particular intersection. Right before the three mile mark, you turn left onto 14th from Sevier. Before you turn left onto 14th from Sevier, you need to STOP, look for traffic, then cross the street and RUN ON THE SIDEWALK on the RIGHT SIDE of 14th. BE VERY CAREFUL CROSSING 14th! For those of you who know the area, make sure you alert those around you.
Chattanooga & Tom King
Congrats to all our Nasties that crushed the Chattanooga Marathon and the Tom King Half and 5K this past weekend! Our Half and Full Marathon Training resumes this Saturday at 8am at Nissan Stadium as we begin to train on the Rock n Roll course...
