First run is Thursday August 17th, at Lake Johnson.

6:30PM, at the far parking lot (the one at the bottom of this picture)

Get there in time to GO at 6:30, I'll be taking off then.



My Pace will be in the 9:30/mi Range, I can go to 8:30ish or to 10:30ish depending on who shows up. Just doing one loop, right at 3 miles.

Hope to see people out there, my name is Tyler, I'm 6'4 and a pretty big dude so shouldnt be hard to find.

8/17/2006 12:39:22 AM

this sounds like a good idea, it might motivate me to head out and run.

8/17/2006 1:33:33 AM

Noen and me have a plan to grab any bitches and drag them into (onto) the "woods"

I'll be there, tho

8/17/2006 1:37:50 AM

8/17/2006 4:14:34 AM

And I was even thinking of attending...

8/17/2006 6:41:19 AM

haha... so I know you want to do this again on Monday so I can go, right?!? Let me know how many people show up b/c tonight I can't make it b/c I am going out of town!

8/17/2006 6:58:20 AM

haha "use map at your own risk"

especially since the course frequently deviates into Lake Johnson

8/17/2006 7:47:16 AM

Wish I was still in Raleigh, that is a good course. Nice scenery and some pretty good hills for building up some strength.

8/17/2006 8:30:25 AM

The map is just to show where the parking lot is.

I dont know what the hell firmbutgntl is talking abouit, I'm going to run. I don't mess with women when im working out

6:30 today, tonight ill post the location and time tomorrow

8/17/2006 9:33:39 AM

when running women serve as eyecandy and something to talk about, that's about it

8/17/2006 9:53:40 AM

I hate running Lake Johnson.

I can't make it today, but I'll certainly be up for future runs.

8/17/2006 11:42:21 AM

i wanna go one day tyler

but i have to bring my running clothes with me to work/school

also

how did you do in that eating contest??

8/17/2006 12:07:50 PM

nah, i hate running ALL of lake johnson.... that and I'd have to drive to raleigh...

fridays would be better, then i'd just stay the weekend

8/17/2006 1:41:15 PM

Can't do it today, though chances are I'd be down for it another time.

8/17/2006 1:56:48 PM

how far is it around the regular loop? Not including across the street...just starting at the bridge and ending when you get back to the bridge.

8/17/2006 2:00:06 PM

That's all I'm doing is the regular loop, bridge to bridge. The map was Only to show where the parking lot is that I will be in.

It's a 3 mile loop.

The FULL loop is like 5.6 miles, but that's for another time.

8/17/2006 2:16:22 PM

i ment the 3 mile one

YEAH ME TOO...I WILL PROBABLY RUN 6 200 YARDERS TONIGHT....THEY FUCKING SUCK

8/17/2006 2:20:46 PM

I am going to go ahead and call for another run on Monday @ 6:30...Lake Johnson Trail....the far parking lot as Tyler put it. That should be enough notice to get a few more people going. so PM me if you are interested in that one too

Tyler let me know if you can make that one....

8/17/2006 2:22:32 PM

i may be there...i need to get goin again was runnin 4 miles then my ankle caught a sprain a week ago...gotta get back going again so this may be the way

8/17/2006 2:23:47 PM

ahahaha shit goes all off in the water


"use map at your own risk"

8/17/2006 2:29:55 PM

its okay that the trail goes into some water.....it will give me a reasonable excuse to take a break from running, you know "sorry guys let me stand here while I figure out how to cross this big ass mud puddle" or something to that effect ... haha. I have never ran lake johnson so if its that bad we will be switching to something else ...

8/17/2006 2:45:41 PM

LAKE JOHNSON IS THE BEST TRAIL IN RALEIGH

8/17/2006 2:56:14 PM

Guys (and gals), lake johnson is a paved trail. DO NOT GO BY THE FRIGGIN MAP!!!

It doesnt go in the water, it's not some all terrain thing, its paved, people walk their dogs and ride bikes and walk baby strollers around it.

See yall at 6:30!

8/17/2006 3:04:42 PM

yall are gonna school me at running

I'd run, but I know I damn sure can't knock out three miles anymore

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 4:20 PM. Reason : duh]

8/17/2006 4:20:42 PM

its not nearly as hard as you think, especially at 10min mile pace.

8/17/2006 4:42:20 PM

apparently the trail goes through the lake.

8/17/2006 4:51:12 PM

it can be a pain for beginner runners. the steep downhills is more detrimental than it is beneficial.

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 4:56 PM. Reason : .]

8/17/2006 4:52:48 PM

slow down and slow up. I just want to get back to the 6 laps I was doing for the marathon

8/17/2006 5:11:16 PM

well i went out there and ran my 3...didnt see anyone that was in a 'group' so to speak and there were alot of 6 foot 4 guys noen so it was hard to tell who u were...may have seen you though im sure. next time we need to find a place to 'meet' at like the map at the start of the trail or something, someone have a TWW sign or something.

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 7:37 PM. Reason : d]

8/17/2006 7:36:45 PM

yep i was there at 6:30 and stood around waiting till 6:40, then took off running. I was the guy in the black tshirt and red shorts.

Did the loop in 30minutes, pretty damn slow. Almost died too, at least tomorow wil be that much easier

8/17/2006 7:45:00 PM

haha i know exactly who u were, i actually had that typed in and edited that u were in a black shirt and red shorts because i didnt know if that was you...we finished about the same time, i was pullin out of the parkin lot when i saw u come out and start stretching to end...i bout died on the hills in the back part, my ankle was hating me but it felt good

i was in a red shirt and black shorts in the black car. i started right behind you, u went right, i went left.

8/17/2006 7:47:04 PM

were you the dude in the UNC getup?

8/17/2006 7:47:56 PM

i did it earlier, got done about 6:20, and looked around in that parking lot around 6:30

all i saw were two shirtless guys

i don't exactly know what i was looking for, but i didn't see anyone with a TWW on their shirt

i was wearing a white shirt and black adidas shorts, carrying a nalgene sort of bottle, and may have been wearing headphones

man this is not gonna be easy for any of us if we don't know what everyone looks like

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 7:51 PM. Reason : -]

8/17/2006 7:50:10 PM

no no, that guy was flying if we are talkin about the same guy and he was alottt taller than i was...i was in a black MR2 and pulled up and started nearly the same time you did...red shirt and black shorts...no homo UNC mess

yea i saw two guys with the shirts off when i started and two girls by their car talkin about one of thems date this weekend.

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 7:51 PM. Reason : d]

8/17/2006 7:50:47 PM

i did 2 loops from about 5:45-7

interval training though, i dont run very far at a time...

8/17/2006 8:03:33 PM

what were u wearing? or what do u look like may have seen you

8/17/2006 8:15:28 PM

hahah i think you walked right by me then while i was waiting for ppl.

tomorrow will be better, im putting together a campus run, so we can all meet up at the belltower

8/17/2006 8:18:30 PM

oh...

ahahahahah

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 8:21 PM. Reason : .]

8/17/2006 8:20:38 PM

blue shorts, no shirt, lean physique, pretty face.... i ran three miles and walked three miles in 1/4 intervals...

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 8:26 PM. Reason : a]

8/17/2006 8:22:32 PM

i actually ran it today as well

grey shirt blue shorts

looked like he was going to fucking die

yeah, that was me

...

i typically park at the lot near the dam and start at the .75 mile and end at the 1 mile

precision... 3.07 miles

[Edited on August 17, 2006 at 8:25 PM. Reason : .]

8/17/2006 8:23:16 PM

not sure that i saw u rally...i may have, i for sure saw noen though. and toute naaa didnt see you either

8/17/2006 8:30:27 PM

I am going to take a white shirt and write TWW in really big bright red letters when I go out there..... haha...


only kidding

8/18/2006 12:17:23 AM

I liked Bond Park better then Lake Johnson personally, but Johnson is much closer to campus..

[Edited on August 18, 2006 at 12:27 AM. Reason : but I like running on unpaved places..]

Alright guys and girls.

Here is today's route and hopefully a much better meeting place.

Total Distance is exactly 3 miles, should be a bit easier run than Lake Johnson.


http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=373735

Meet at the belltower at 6:30pm, I'll be out there in black & red again.

8/18/2006 10:04:37 AM

I think the paved part of Lake Johnson is really 2.8 miles, not 3.

Do yall ever see that big white dude in red shorts and a white t shirt. He usually has a GI haircut.

[Edited on August 18, 2006 at 10:31 AM. Reason : .]

8/18/2006 10:28:38 AM

it is 2.82 miles paved. if you do the little loop in the middle, its almost exactly 3 miles
