Practice at Roslyn

Roslyn Episcopal Retreat Center is a little over a mile from campus and one of the locations we do our workouts...Their property offers lots of hills and lies next to the James River which serves as a perfect backdrop for a hard effort.
Stephanie Paradis and Clare Moretz climb "Jacobs Ladder" at Roslyn just before the sun comes up...Jacobs Ladder is a very steep hill on the property that is well known to runners who grew up in the Richmond area...

Stephanie Paradis and Clare Moretz run along the canal (Note: The canal was built in 1790 as the first commercial canal in the United States, stretching from Richmond to Westham and paralleling the James for 7 miles)... 
...then climb by repeating Jacobs Ladder...
