The group walk for Saturday, July 19 will be at Heritage Rail Trail in Hilliard. 

To reach the park exit 1-270 at Exit 13, Cemetery Road. Go west on Cemetery 1.8 miles to the round about. Take the first turn off to Main and take Main Street to Center Street. Parking is provided at the head of the trail.
 
After the group walk we will go to breakfast at the Starliner Diner, 5240 Cemetery Road.

This is our first breakfast at the Starliner Diner! Come join us!

What a beautiful morning for 5-8 miles on the Olentangy Trail! At 7:30 it was 36 degrees. It warmed up to nearly 40 by the time we finished. It was so nice to be outside in the sunshine.

We had worried about flooding with the warm temperatures earlier this week. What we really needed to worry about was ice! The trail was mostly clear, though the patches of ice we came across were pretty large. All of us remained upright! (Woo hoo!)

There were several small MIT groups out today -- not like the herds who train for the Columbus Marathon.

When we passed the back of the high school, I noticed for the first time the tree with all of the shoes in it. Anyone see it before? (I'll have to go back and get better pictures.)

For a change of pace, we had breakfast at Subway. For a small group it was OK. The food selection was small, but the coffee was good.

If you have not yet signed up for the Cap City Half Marathon, do it soon! This week we were scheduled to do 5 miles on our long day, so there is still plenty of time to catch up.
