GET READY WALKS THIS WEEK
Since they may not be posted to the Avon Walk website in time, I'm posting this week's walks here:
I'll be walking this week after work, so feel free to come join me!
Monday, September 13th (today): meeting at the Rutgers Student Center (RSC) between 5:15pm and 5:30pm. Please wear light-colored clothing & bug spary and bring a flashlight in case we mis-time ourselves and get caught in dusk. A flashlight helps cars "see" us. The route will loop us back to the RSC, and will follow an RU shuttle route through the 5th & 6th Wards of New Brunswick, so if you get tired, you may flag down the shuttle and take it back to campus.
Note: I will not be running walks tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 14th or Wednesday, Sept. 15th, as I have other obligations.
Thursday, September 16th: This is a two-for-the-price-of-one. I telecommute on Thursdays, so if you're up for an early morning walk (6:30 am), or a lunchtime walk, let me know. I'm planning to get out there twice.
The evening walk will meet between 5:15pm and 5:30pm in front of the RSC. Once again, wear light-colored clothing, bug spray & bring a flashlight. This route will be the through Highland Park to the Edison border route. . . which, according to my pedometer, was about 2 miles, but has HILLS.
Friday, September 17th: We'll meet between 5:15pm and 5:30pm in front of the RSC. Once again, wear light-colored clothing, bug spray & bring a flashlight. This route will be the through Highland Park to the Edison border route. . . which, according to my pedometer, was about 2 miles, but has HILLS.
Saturday, September 18th/Sunday, September 19th: Yes, that would be TWO days.
If you haven't done a back-to-back long route, PLEASE come out for this one. We meet BOTH DAYS at 8am in front of the RSC. I'm going to map out a route that will be between 10 and 11 miles both days. Saturday's route will take us through the RU campuses; Sunday's will probably go through Somerset. There will be hills. There will be parks. There will be city streets. And there will always be sidewalks. I will let you know if I have to cancel or postpone this walk, but I really do not want to do a back-to-back the weekend before the event. It's not good for the body.
Please look for more walks on the Avon Walk website and click the date(s) for each walk to RSVP.
