Wednesday Night Run 11-9-2011

Hello ORC,

WalMarts are surrounding Decatur. The only escape is West towards downtown Atlanta. I bring this up because I keep reading about the possible or confirmed WalMart at Suburban Plaza which by the way will be pedestrian friendly. Junktique will be at The Solarium this weekend. Mugs for Jugs a potters benefit for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is at MudFire. At Agnes Scott is the Four Year Art Exhibition. Or share some soup at the Oakhurst Community Gardens. At the Historic 4^th Ward Park is the BeltLine Lantern Parade. The Waldorf School of Atlanta is having their Holiday Fair. Also at Agnes Scott is the WRFG benefit concert. As always there is the Decatur Ghost Tour. And I don’t know how you celebrate 11-11-11. Is there a card for that?

What else is going on this week/weekend?

The closest run you can have in Oakhurst is the Run for Justice 5K which is being run in the neighborhood this time around. You can find a race just as easily by looking at Atlanta’s map because they are in a lot of neighborhoods this weekend.  Starting on Friday is the Atlanta Veterans Day Run 11K & Mile. On Saturday are the Uptown Rhodes Race 5K in Atlanta, the Breathe Deep Atlanta 5K at GA Tech, the MMRF Race for Research 5K at Piedmont Park, and the Dog Dash 5K at Historic 4^th Ward Park. And that’s just the Atlanta races. For those running the Hill Country Trail Race at Serenbe in Palmetto and the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon/Half Marathon; good luck to you this weekend. On Sunday is the New Balance Girls on the Run 5K in Atlanta.

This Wednesday you will be running route 10.  It’s getting dark earlier so for safety’s sake, please wear your lights and other reflective gear.  And while I am on my safety soapbox, this run seems to have a lot of car traffic at the main intersections the route crosses so please watch out for drivers who may not be paying attention. The run hits Rockyford, Hosea, Tupelo, and the rolling hills of Spence/McDonough.  You can see the map through the link below. Hopefully I have the link correct but if not, run route 10. After this 5 miler it is off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks, and trivia.

Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
