Wednesday Night Run 3-21-2012

Hello ORC,

The Georgia Publix Marathon and Half Marathon has been run. The traffic congestion on race day seemed to be less this year versus years past. It's good to see that better managed. What is disappointing is the local coverage from the AJC online edition. I tried searching for results on Monday and they were only up for half a day before they were archived. Congrats to those who ran, volunteered, and cheered. I saw a couple of fellow ORC folks along the route. I saw Shawanna (sp) running to a top 10 finish in the half all the while carrying on a conversation with me.

This weekend is hopefully another great weekend to be out and about. The Decatur High School Community Garden is having a work day. You can learn to cook great food without wheat or dairy at the Oakhurst Community Garden Project. There is also an Urban Film Review. Thursday Jazz nights continue in Oakhurst. There is a Decatur Ghost Tour on Friday night. The English beat is playing at the Variety Playhouse.

What else is going on this week and weekend?

For your local racing this weekend, there are a couple you can take a warm-up jog to. In Decatur is the Tour deCatur 5K & Mile on Saturday. Also on Saturday is the ATC Atlanta Women's 5K in Candler Park. There is also the 9th Annual Miles for Smiles 5K/1K/Tot Trot in Atlanta and the Embrace Our Green Space Race 5K/10K/2K in Decatur. For something longer is the Berkeley Lake Half Marathon in Norcross. For a trail race there is the Elachee's Trillium Trek Trail Run in Gainesville. On Sunday is the Rock into Spring Half Marathon/5K/10K in Stone Mountain.

It's still dark out but we are seeing peeks of late day light so please continue to bring out the reflective vests, shirts, jackets, and lights for your safety. On Wednesday night you will be running route 13. The route goes up the hard flat of Oakview and hits the hills of Spence/McDonough. The link to the route is at the bottom of this e-mail. After the run it's 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.
