CARA Montrose 6am - Week 14

Pre-Ready2Run Cutback

Sep 13, 2024

Cycle 5, Cutback

I asked ChatGPT to “create a humorous image for marathon cutback week”.

A humorous scene of a marathon runner lounging on a comfy couch during 'cutback week.' The runner is wearing full marathon gear, including a bib number, headband, and water bottle, but instead of running, they are surrounded by snacks like chips, pizza, and a large soda. Their running shoes are kicked off nearby. A TV in the background shows a marathon race, but the runner is laid-back with their feet up, holding a remote. A calendar on the wall reads 'Cutback Week!' with intense workout days crossed out and only a 'Rest Day' circled. A pet in a miniature running outfit is lying next to them, also relaxed.

Ready2Run Course - the path for this year’s R2R has been released. We’re doing the normal Wilson Track start, heading north to Foster, 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
