This ocasionally happens and brings various feelings; an early taste of spring, a joyfull mid-winter reprieve, less than ideal skiing or snowshoeing, or a muddy mess. For the the handful that ran yesterday the smiles lead me to believe there was still plenty of fun and beauty enjoyed.

Matt Young will head up a trainer on the first half of the course on May 12, 2012. This is the tougher half and would be more worth your while experiencing. Meet at the Highlands Sky Start at the DNR Wildlife Cabin on Laneville Road. Go HERE for directions.

The loop run will be 21 miles, with an option to jump off at 14 miles.

Contact Matt at matt@wvruncoach.com to let him know you are coming or with questions.

Thanks Matt

Only the hearty roll out for this one. A small group last February, but there have been years with 25 or more. Check out details here, then mark the date on your calendar. It will break those mid-winter blues!

Mark your calendar for the the second Saturday in January. This will be our 10th, a long trail since that snowy January in 2003 when six met to form this organization. We’ll have a morning run, lunch and meeting in Helvetia.

Bring your cold weather running gear, good spirit, and something for the lunch table. There is plenty of floor space for over-nighters. Let me know if you are coming so I can have a food and beverage head count. irunwv@gmail.com

At Bee Run aid station Nathan grills the perfect runner quesadilla. No one noticed he used the bottom side of the heirloom griddle, but a few wondered why ERIE was branded on the tortilla!
