I meet with DRC on Saturdays 6 AM either near mockingbird/75 or at the White Rock lake. Without sounding like an ad for DRC, we have groups for different speeds and I am sure you will love running with the people and pace leaders.

Thanks Chandra. I will definitely go. I am even a DRC member and didn't know about this. However, until May I am committed to taking my daughter to violin practice on Saturday mornings. She is a member of the Dallas Conservatory and they practice from 9 - 11. Once that is over though, I will join you guys!

Right, out on 380 and Stonebridge Drive. I run from near Eldorado and South Lake Forest.
Well, miles first and speed later. However, as I get older the speed is later and later!
