From Wolf Rd. take Partridge Lane west all the way down to the bottom of the hill and park in the cul-de-sac at the end.

We'll start our warm-up at 6:30. There will be hills, thrills and chills. Something for everyone.

Speaking of hills, here's Lance Armstrong's comments on his first Boston Marathon:

Armstrong said there's no comparison between running a marathon and cycling, either physically or mentally.

"You can't compare the pounding of running with the efficiency of a bicycle," he said. "Nothing even comes close to comparing the pain, especially it seems like this course, with a significant amount of downhills ... that really take their toll on the muscles."

Armstrong said he planned to run Boston again, though he added he's too busy with other things to get more serious about running.

"It is a hobby, it keeps me fit on a daily basis, it keeps me inspired and motivates me to go out and run," he said.

Armstrong added he regrets not training harder when he's suffering in the middle of a race.

"Every time I come out here, I swear to myself I'm going to train harder for the next one," he said. "But I never do."

- Carl
