Itinerary:

Just an after work event to enjoy the trail leading to Paper Mill Rd. from Chochran Shoals.  We will start at a light jogging pace and anyone is free to make adjustments as we move along.  This is an out and back so don't worry about falling behind or moving ahead (if you dare).  Once we get to Paper Mill Rd. we will take a few sips from the water fountain and then head back. 

This is a fitness event so the intention is to get the blood pumping and flowing and sustaining.  It is not a race so we can all stay together.  There is a labrynth of trails between the Chatahoochee River and Papermill so I ask that we try to stay together to avoid getting lost.

There are no expectations here.  If you fall behind it is no big deal because we turn around at Paper Mill and go back the same way we came in.  The main goal is to run for one full hour and then once we get back to the gravel road by the river we can walk back for cool down.  Twilight is majestic!

If it rains or has been raining prior to the event I may cancel because the trail gets really muddy.
