    Save the Date: Run on JFK 13R/31L 04/22/07

    It's back and will hopefully be without rain and hail this year! :D

    I'll be there again. Any type of weather this year will be an improvement over last year's! Last year was cold rain and a 30 MPH head wind. Making the U-turn on the runway never felt so good. I hope to see some of you there.

    I'll definitely be there; it'll be my birthday treat to myself, and also my incentive to finally work on getting back into 5k shape.

    Hopefully the MS Walk won't be on the same date this year but I have a feeling it might be. :(

    Good idea! I'm thinking of making a trip up to NY for the run/spotting this year. :)

    Who's planning on coming?

    I will be there.
    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    As predicted, it looks like the MS Walk is on the 22nd as well.

    My sister hasn't mentioned anything about it to us yet so maybe she is not expecting us in which case I would really love and try to do the JFK run.

    That sounds pretty cool. I may be there. I may have baseball though.

    I never did this before, so i don't know, but, if they are running on 13R, then wouldn't they have to close 4L too? In which case, the 2 primary takeoff runways will be closed.

    They only use one end of 13R, down near the old Pan Am & TWA hangars, you won't be getting anywhere near 4L

    Ok I'll bite and ask the lazy man's question...

    Can we walk the 5K and spot instead of running? You would have to have some killer image stabilization to take a decent photo while running!

    You can't get any pictures worth a dam from this walk unless something is parked near the old TWA hangar. Anything departing from 4 will be backlit to death. However if you've never been on the ramp or runway it is very cool.
