8 Mile Garden District Coffee Run
This 8 Mile loop can be shortened in a variety of ways. But try to plan it to go by the water stop at Kleinert and St. Rose.
This loop allows you to go by the water stop twice.
I’ll be in New Orleans doing an Iron Tribe running clinic ….but you all know the drill. Please welcome the new people that might show us and show them the way. We have had quite a few of those recently.
Magpie April/May Birthdays Run
We are celebrating several birthdays and a very special one for Karen.
This is a neighborhood 2 Looper with water and Birthday Chalk Talk in between.
**you may want to reverse directions to change it up. Or not.
After the first loop come to J/J back driveway and contribute to the Birthday Chalk Mural. You may want to claim a spot on the mural and finish when you get back.

Rouzan Champagne Jazz 1 Mile Walk and 3 Mile Run(with 2 mile added option for 5)
This is a neighborhood and running group collaboration.
Rouzan is providing the champagne and Jazz.
Some of you should be becoming familiar with pieces of this course from the last few weeks of runs. It cuts across the Glasgow walking path to the loop in Meadow Lea. Then up Hyacinth - we pop over to Edinburg so not to run on busy Glasgow. The last part is around the new Everly Apartments and Sprouts.
Optional 2 Miles extra - starts the same as 3 and takes in the big loop in the undeveloped new part of the neighborhood then picks up the same end of 3 Mile.
Jazz music by 2 for the Sheaux from 6-7 p.m.

Water at the turnaround at Christian and the lakes. We’ll also put a mini-stop at the Cashio’s on Jolly.
I’ll be out of town at a wedding so Niraj will get the runs started.
VSNO/VSLV -City Park distances
More in-park running for shade and hydration. Feel free to modify or add loops as you like!
Easy 220s on Glasgow Path
Make this into a really moderate 220 cutdown workout. I like to keep at least one interval session a week during off-season. But just think fitness-maintenance running.
Start up at the top where the brick entrance is.
4 x 220 easy cut down. Each 220 should be at least 1 second faster than one before it.
Jog a 1/4 lap. Get some water.
SKIP THE SECOND SET FOR A SHORTER RUN
Duplicate the first set of 4 x 220.
Cool down back to St. Aloysius
