Month: December 2019

DEC 11, 2019 WAWA: “Christmas Lights with a Splash of Repeats”

This week marks the final “formal” WAWA run of the year.  There’s always a chance for a pop-up run or two before we wrap up 2019.  But this Wednesday is the last planned workout.

As such, we’ll be running our annual “light” run, taking in the Christmas lights in the Myers Park neighborhood, primarily on Picardy Place and Hillside Avenue.  And, yes, we will do a few hill repeats on Hillside before heading back to the Cornwell Center.  5 repeats to be exact!  Total run distance is just under 4.5 miles.

Planned route is at this LINK.

Temps will hover around 40 degrees with overcast skies.  And unlike the past two years, I don’t think we’ll see any rain on this year’s “light run”.  This is always a great time, wrapping up the WAWA year and hearing a Christmas devotional message.  Tomorrow’s message will call to mind “Who’s Your Shepherd; Who’s Your Angel; and Where’s Your Field?“.

Meet outside the Cornwell Center at 5:45 am (or inside the main lobby if you’re a few minutes early).

See you in the morning!

DEC 4, 2019 WAWA: “Second Chance at Latta”

Had to cancel the planned Latta Park run a couple weeks ago due to below freezing temps.  Temps this week are above freezing….barely, but more manageable.  So, bringing back the planned route to Latta, along the streets of Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood.

Here’s the “second chance workout”:

-From the Cornwell Center, we’ll exit right, then run down Radcliffe Ave towards Queens Road West (QRW).

-From QRW, we’ll head out East Blvd to Dilworth Road EAST.

-Turn right on Dilworth Road EAST towards Latta Park.

-Run counter-clockwise around the Park, then exit along Dilworth Road WEST.

-Get back on East Blvd, heading towards QRW.

-Follow QRW uphill to Wellesley Ave. then back to the Cornwell Center.  (NOTE: We’ll probably take Maryland Avenue, parallel to QRW, up to Wellesley due to the sidewalk conditions on QRW.)

Distance is approximately 4.7 miles.  CLICK FOR ROUTE MAP

Moderate to easy pace planned.  Weather will be a chilly 35 degrees with no rain in forecast.  Sunrise is at 7:18 am.  Still need to wear reflective gear!

See you Wednesday morning!

NEXT Wednesday will be out last WAWA of the year before the holiday break.  As with year’s past, we’ll do the “light run” next week….running along the festive lite streets of Hillside Avenue and Picardy Place.
