I am doing some mathematical biology research stuff there this summer (June 13-July 15) and I wondered what the area is llike.

Also, are there any female runners that run in a range of low 22's to low 23's for a 6K (and about 50-60 mpw runners would be great) in that area that I could train with?Iguess if you are guy and run that, that it would be suffecient also. I just need some people to train with while I am their for my last cross country season!!!

It would be nice to have someone to train with who also knows their way around, since I have never been to Pennsylvania. Thanks!

Hello -

I used to coach there - it's changed a bit, but I may be able to help. PS-Erie has a couple of good female runners, but I don't know if they will be around this summer. Email me and I can give you some contact info and to answer some more specific questions.

Also, you may want to check with Doug Watts at Edinboro about any of his runners who will be in the area this summer...he has several local runners.

re: ex-PSErie Coach

PS-Erie is a really nice campus. They have tons of places to run on quiet back roads, with a wide range of hills all over the place for good strength training. You can run around only 3 to 4 blocks for a 13 or 14 mile run. I grew up about 3 miles from the actual campus, and have run through campus and on the back roads all my life. I run for Clemson U. now, which has a lot of nice trails and great weather in SC, however, if PA was warmer, and they were a D1 or 2 school, I would have gone there in a heart beat. I would also agree about giving Watts from Edinboro U. a call, he could potentially hook you up with a pretty talented runner from over there.

re: E33

Thanks for the information guys! I will try and do that...I run for another competetive DII school in Michigan so it would be awesome to train with some girls that run about the same or a little faster. Thanks again!

Good thing you're going in the summer! Erie is so cold and very snowy in the winter since they're right on the lake! YUCK! I hate PA
