Time: 9am (NEW START TIME!!)
Distance: 16 miles
Start: McCarren Park, Recycling Bins.
Dearest Runners,
First, some housekeeping notes. The Sunday Spirits held a board
meeting with bowls of ramen, ice cream, and salted fried Japanese
peppers. Oh wait, that was my dinner. Anyway, we debated shifting the
start time to be a bit later now that it's no longer horrendously hot
and humid outside and we are at the Autumn equinox as I type this.
While many people wanted 10am, a filibuster led to a compromise for
9am. So, to avoid a Sunday Funday Runday government shutdown, that
will be our start time for the next few workouts.
Secondly, people keep asking about the distances for upcoming Sundays.
During peak NYC and Boston Marathon seasons, we go by the Pfitzinger
Advanced Marathon training book. Hence, here's what you can expect
from now through that magical day in November:
9/25 - 16 miles (12 at Marathon GP)
10/2 - 20 miles
10/9 - 17 (or Staten Island Half + Get To The Point 5K!)
10/16 -20 miles
10/23 - 16 miles
10/30 - 13 miles and Good Luck Brunch afterwards
If you have any votes on what courses you'd like to see to close out
the season, send 'em to the Sunday Spirits. I know for sure I'll try
to work the Four Bridges extravaganza in there, as well as getting
down to Bay Ridge to run the first half of the Marathon course and
find out what Danny's secret is to running fast marathons.
Finally, Sunday's course. Since the goal is to try and get 12 at your
marathon GP, I opted for a straight course that involves little in the
way of cross traffic. We'll run up to Astoria by way of Vernon Blvd in
LIC, then hang a right onto 20th Avenue and keep going until we see
airplanes and escaped convicts at the juncture of Riker's Island and
the western frontier of LaGuardia Airport.

So remember to set your alarms an hour later, party harder Saturday to
get the Fifth Avenue Mile out of your system, and we'll see you Sunday
morning!
