  • New Roads

    5 Davillians ventured out on this cold Saturday morning to get their long run in for the week.

    Route was something a little different. Got started just after 6:15 with a loop around the schools before heading to fly over. Headed down Atlee Station Rd to Craney Island for a loop in the back part of the neighborhood. Cross over 301 (something new) and cut across Studley then turn onto Times Dispatch rd.

    Run to the end of the road then turn back and head across 301 again. Loop behind Wawa before turn back onto Atlee Station.

    Headed down Atlee Station then turned onto Giles Farm Rd and take the short trail to Giles. Head up Giles Hill to the roundabout.

    6.5 to 7 miles – stayed straight on Giles back to the parking lot

    8+ miles – Ran down some of the new Giles roads before finishing with a loop round the MS

    TClaps to Mr Holland who finished with an extra loop around the schools to get in around 8.25 miles

    It was fun trying out some new roads today. Time to get creative with routes without repeating since it will be 9 or more miles moving forward
