I want to start a thread for weekend long runs meetups. Andrea and I are trying to do as many of these runs on softer surfaces (and higher elevation is a bonus) as possible.

Tomorrow (July 30th) we'll be at the Jeremy Ranch road ( http://goo.gl/VCnWe ) at 8am. Andrea is running 14, I'll probably do 20. Pace will probably be 7:15-7:30. Anyone is welcome to join in, just let us know.

Will join up with you in the upcoming weekends for some good runs. This weekend (July 30) we have a group doing long runs out on the Magna road. Getting some folks ready for some of the fall marathons. We will start out there 6:30 am. Some are carpooling from the Shopko parking lot in Sugar House at 6 am. Anyone wanting up to 20 can join us. Many are going at least 16.

The plan for this weekend is another run on Jeremy Ranch road on Sunday morning. We'll probably start ~8:30am, but that time is negotiable. I think Andrea is planning to do ~15; I'll probably tack on a few more.

There is a large group of us meeting on Saturday at the Big Cottonwood Canyon parking lot (5:30 AM) to carpool up to Brighton.  We will do several intervals around the Brighton loop (0.75 miles), before running back down the Canyon.  The goal is 18-20 miles with van support.  The group is mainly 2:45-3:20 marathoners (mixed), so the pace me be slow for you guys.  I hope to make some of the posted Sunday runs.

That sounds like a great group to run with. I can't make it this time, but I would love to do it another time. Please let us know if you do any more runs like that on Saturdays.

Rail Trail Prospector to Wanship 8-14, Should be a nice long run on soft surface. Want to get going early before the heat, anyone one needing a long run, pick the time.

I'm going 9 miles up and back on Skyline Drive from the B in Bountiful this Saturday, with a 6 or 6:30 am start.  Uphill miles will be around 9 min, coming down closer to 7.  Company would be great, pace and time negotiable.

I'm camping up in the Uintas this weekend, and then have TOU, so no long runs the next 2 weekends for me. But starting in September it will be back to pretty much every weekend all fall, so I'll try to get this more organized.

this is still a couple of weeks out, but i am looking for someone to run long with on september 2nd or 3rd. the planned run is 22 miles around 7:15-7:30 pace, with the last 3-4 miles at 6:20 pace. i have considered driving to logan to do this run on the TOU course, and i would definitely make the trip if there is anyone in the area who is interested. otherwise, i could meet up pretty much anywhere within the salt lake valley or even utah county.

I will most likely be available to do it if you run in Utah County or SL County. Hopefully I have enough in the tank at the end to run 6:20 pace.

Hey allie - Andrea and I are staying in a cabin near Snowbasin / Eden that weekend... if you want to do a long run w/ us that Saturday (maybe on the Ogden marathon course, around the reservoir, etc), come on up! We could even setup a point to point run or something like that. I don't hammer long runs so that pace sounds perfect to me!  Smiley

Although Allie is very special, anyone else is welcome to join us as well up there! We would love the company.

If anyone is interested, we're planning to do an easy 20 miler around Pineview Reservoir this Saturday (9/3). We'll be hitting the trails up in the Snowbasin area on Sunday/Monday as well.

I'm thinking we'll probably start ~8am on Saturday, but nothing is set in stone. It all depends on what works for other people. We are flexible and don't have much else to do.

Jake and I are doing another Jeremy Ranch Road run this Saturday at 8am. I'm planning to run 17-18 and Jake 21-22, probably in the 7:30 range. We will probably go out for a buffet breakfast afterwards. Let one of us know if you want to join!
