10 pax rose early in the dark for a long #Amble Friday. After several trips across Trenholm Road, the long run of the morning was a comfortable return to our old stomping grounds around Lake Katherine. 5 miles at a strong pace for all comers.
Conditions: 75 degrees, 88% humidity
The Thang:
5 Mile loop around Lake Katherine, part out and back, part loop as follows: Exiting KBC head downhill on Forest Ridge to Quail taking a left hand turn and running to the end of Quail at Shady Lane. Turn right on Shady and run the length to Kilbourne. Uphill on Kilbourne to the right turn onto Sanford and again right onto Kathwood. Run Kathwood all the way down, past where it joins with Woodlake back to Shady Lane. This time turn left on Shady back up toward the corner of Shady and Quail for the return to KBC by way of Forest Ridge.
As MapMyRun has served our group well, if you’re interested in checking out our runs, today’s route can be seen here and most of our courses can be found by going to MapMyRun.com and doing a search for F3 Amble.
