It is along the canal! Departing from the basketball court area at Lansdowne, then an out and back. After the race, you get a yoga for runners class, and can spend the full day at the yoga festival, included in your race entry!

Cabot Trail Relay
Who has done the Cabot Trail Relay and what were your experiences? I put a team in the lotto this year, and am also wondering what our odds are of getting in! Our "Captain" is from California, so maybe that will help?

Re: Managing Monday
Yesterday was one of "those" days. I did three minutes on the treadmill and was done mentally. Then hopped on the bike for about five minutes and was done. Did some pull ups and called it a night!

Re: Wimped-out Wednesday
Ended up having a great 8k run with two old running buddies. Discovered that part of the canal was blocked off (when we got to a fence), so our run included some unexpected climbing over mountains of wood, shimmying through a fence and some other adventures.
