Call for Alabama meet-up requests: 27 July – 4 August

On Saturday, 25 July 2009, I will depart Michigan for an expedition to the southern United States.  After spending the night of 25 July in Nashville, I will arrive in Alabama on 26 July.  I expect to return to Michigan on Wednesday, 5 August.

Please consider this the official call for meet-up requests.  While I do not wish to frighten folks away from making such requests, there are caveats of which I need to make you aware, as they will impact my scheduling and socialising ability.

• This is not entirely a leisure trip, so I have some commitments I must keep.  Weekday afternoons are pretty much closed at this point, as are Friday, 31 July, from 1700 – 2000 CDT, and Monday, 2 August, from 1730 – 1930 CDT.
• I have to keep up with my marathon training, so I will be giving training runs scheduling priority.  Running will take place on the following dates:
  • Sunday, 26 July – 5 miles at easy pace (E)
  • Tuesday, 28 July – track/speed workout
  • Wednesday, 29 July – 9 miles E
  • Thursday, 30 July – 5 miles E
  • Saturday, 1 August – 16 miles E
  • Sunday, 2 August – 5 miles E
  • Tuesday, 4 August – track/speed workout
• I recently took a 10% pay cut at work, so I will not likely be seeking to do overly expensive things.

While I had not really planned for a summer trip south, I might as well make the best of it, right?
