Cycle 5, Cutback
Last year, I asked ChatGPT to “create a humorous image for marathon cutback week” for Week 14. I did the same this year and I’m not sure if it’s better or worse.
Ready2Run Course - the path for this year’s R2R has been released. We’re doing the normal Wilson Track start, heading north to Bryn Mawr, then heading all the way south along the path. The route is a little different than previous years at the end. Check it out - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2725409
Ready2Run Packet Pickup - that’s right, you have a bib to pick up this Saturday or next Saturday (other locations throughout the suburbs are available, check your email).
Saturday, September 13 - Fleet Feet Lincoln Square: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 20 - Fleet Feet Old Town: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
