Hi Swift Runners! I met some of you at different races and at Starbucks after your morning LBT runs. (You’re done, and I’m just starting—getting the meds downed with caffeine so I can hit the trail while you are on your way to work!) Anyway, here is something a little different if you want a SLOW easy run.
Saturday morning, 7 May, I am meeting a couple of much younger (like you) friends from Lawrence at 9:00 a.m. in the River Market. (A little late for me, but Alexey picked the time.) Alexey is from Russia and Sriram is from India. I offered to give them a running tour of Kansas City and they took me up on it! So, I had to map out a route (spent 2 Saturdays doing it) and hit the internet on research.
Our run will be approximately 12 miles with about 20 tour stops sharing 55 points of interest (historical, architectural, cultural, etc.) with at least three coffee-water-bathroom breaks (3+ hrs). It will go from the Missouri River to the Plaza. My car will be parked at the Plaza and I will drive you back from there.
There is a coffee shop in the Northwest corner of the Market (which is on the east side of the parking lot). I will look for you on that corner. Bring a bottle of water for you. Bring some cash for other drinks if you like.
I promised my friends that I would treat them to lunch on the Plaza, You are welcome to join us. (sorry, not my treat).
After my finishing time last Sunday at the Independence Half, I am going to have to admit that I am getting slow in my old age and this run is designed to run a little, stop and talk about what is around us, then run a little more. So it will be a slow, relaxed morning run. I am looking forward to it and if you join us, look forward to getting to know you!
