SRC Run Report, January 31, 2009

The trail wasn't this bad Saturday morning, but you get the idea. The trail was pretty much impassable on foot, that is if you wanted to stay upright, so the 14 faithful who showed up opted for the road. We all did "School Route 2009" which was pretty neat, because we all stayed together. There were quite a few places where it was single-file, but no one got lost or dropped, and thanks to the Garmin-armed we know that the distance was 12.15 miles. Here's the list of the baker's dozen plus 1:

1. Alan G - Garmin-armed
   
2. BB Betsy
3. Eric S.
4. Gazella
5. John H.
6. Joleen
7. Lakshmi - Garmin-armed
8. Lima Bean
   
9. Lisa B
10. Prof Sandy
    
11. Teddio
12. Terminator Tony
13. Tri-Marni - Garmin-armed
14. Waterbottle

Also noted, Hoby Dick did a couple of lengths of Andorra Road.

On the other side of the trail, field reporter Biker Bill filed this report:

"(I) Ran around the drives for eight and a half miles with Dr. Ned. Also ran into Seito who was working on four times around the drive. Also J. King, who did one time around the drive."

From the early shift, I received this report from Kenny Baby:

"HeeHaw and I started at 5:45 this morning. (HeeHaw had things to do/places to go.) We ran Shawmont (via Ridge Rd, Main Street Manyunk and Umbria), then back up to the start via Ridge and then a Chestnut Hill loop for 21+."

Thanks, Biker Bill and Kenny Baby!

I hate to say it, but based on the weather forecast for this coming week and the time of year I think Forbidden Drive may be forbidden territory for for running for the next couple of weeks. So, see ya next weekend when as the Willie Nelson song goes, "On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again.........."
