Emma and Miriam
THE BASICS:
- A medium distance recovery run held at 6 a.m. on Wednesdays.
THE DETAILS:
- Some standard routes: (Please check the NBR Google Group for what weʼll be running that particular week.)
- Queensboro & Williamsburg bridges (11 Miles)
- Roosevelt Island (11 Miles)
- Manhattan Bridge (8 Miles)
- The Carousel (8 Miles)
- Prospect Park (12 Miles)
- The Cemetery (11 Miles)
- Weʼll usually suggest a turnaround point if youʼd prefer a shorter run. We call that halfsies (not DNF) and we won’t mock you for it.
- Pace: Open. Like our hearts. But it’s not recommended as your first NBR run. We usually split into two pace groups: one running about 7:30-8 minute miles, and the other running approximately 6:30-7 minute miles. If you canʼt maintain an 8mm pace for an extended period, you’re still welcome to join us!, but we recommend knowing the route, bringing a buddy, or posting on the google group to see if anyone wants to run that morning at your pace.
- Your fearless leaders: Miriam & Emma. Your alternate leader: Beth A. Our inspiration: Todd “The Diurnal Owl”.
LESS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- Can I hit it in the morning without giving you half of my dough, and even worse if I was broke would you want me? Yes, you can, and yes, we would.
- Should I wear mourning attire? Only if it’s spandex.
- May I bring my pet dove? No.
- Not even if it dresses in mourning? No.
- What’s the worst run ever? The NITE OWL. Seriously, the worst.

Comment by Shawn Johnson January 17, 2012 @ 12:42 amHi Shawn,
We post the specifics for each run on our google group: http://groups.google.com/group/northbrooklynrunners. So tomorrow (1/18/12) we will be meeting at the McCarren Park track recycling bins (point A on the above map–”Northside of McCarren Park Track”) and running ~8 miles to the carousel in Dumbo: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5108962. Our usual group runs ~8mm pace. Hope that helps! But definitely join the google group.
