Lee, Lani, Barbara, Mike, Linda, and Marco ran in the Tunxis Mead area this morning. We did 3 3/4 miles using a run / walk regimen. (Lani has a cool device that beeps at 3 min then at 30 sec then at 3 min etc. The durations can be adjusted). Plan for next Sunday: 8 AM, start at old Brickyard parking lot and head south on the trail til you meet Red Oak Hill Rd and then turn around and come back. That would be about 3.86 miles. (If anyone wants to run longer you can cross Red Oak Hill Rd and continue on the newer section of the trail.)

My idea of how to hook up this Sunday

This is what I propose for those Brickyarders who want to meet up this Sunday. Drive Rt 4, take Brickyard Rd right turn and drive a mile in and park at the parking lot. Get there by 7 AM. Run south on the trail. Just after we cross the bridge there's an offshoot to a connecting trail that leads to the Tunxis Mead Athletic Fields where we'd meet up w/ Lani and company at 8 AM. I plan on using this approach.

By popular demand, we will have another group run/walk at Tunxis Meade in Farmington.

Time: 8 am

Location: Tunxis Mead Road, Farmington. Meet in parking lot between baseball fields.

Distance: 3 miles

Plan: Run / walk intervals

I plan on being there. I have run there once. Open fields, Very beautiful. Let's support Lani and her idea to go to different places for run/walk outings. Remember, Sunday this week.

Mike, Tray, Barbara, and Lee know about this. You?

Hi Lee,

For next Saturday, 8/14/2021, we will meet at the parking lot on Iron Horse Boulevard, Simsbury, from the parking lot between the bandstand and the playground at 8 am. 

The distance will be 4 miles.

As far as the regular weekly group runs, I plan to start the first weekend in September.

I am asking for people to vote on either Saturday or Sunday on the Instagram page.
