Do you like to (to quote J. Cole) “hit it in the morning / the sun rising while you moanin’”? Then *f* the Monday NITE OWLS, and introducing the official Wednesday MOURNING DOVES run!
Time: 6:00AM

THE BASICS:
- A medium distance recovery run of approximately 10 miles held at 6 a.m. on Wednesdays.
THE DETAILS:

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.
