Week 1 Updates

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend. For those of you not able to attend the weekend run, we had perfect weather and a great run.

ENTRY FORMS:
Frank is sending the first batch of completed applications to the Sports Backers now. If you have not turned your application in, we need it ASAP so we get the entire team enrolled.

TRAINING NOTEBOOKS:
I am emailing Don Garber everyone's name and training plan today. I should have your notebooks next Saturday. In the interim, here is your week one training plan:

Novice Plan: Mon Rest, Tues 3, Wed 3, Thurs 3, Fri Rest, Sat 3, Sun X-Train
Intermediate Plan: Mon X-Train, Tues 3, Wed 4, Thurs 3, Fri Rest, Sat 6, Sun 4

NEXT WEEKEND:
We will meet at 8:00 a.m. again at the YMCA next Saturday. We will meet in the child room on the way to the racquetball courts again before we hit the roads. After that we will move the start time up to 7:30 a.m. The runs will start getting longer, and the days hotter. I will email out the routes for Saturday by Wednesday with both a map and written directions.

I know this is a holiday weekend, but if you are able, please plan to join us. The weekend runs are the biggest part of the entire training team. Working with your team-mates will help push you through the training, and ultimately to complete your marathon. If you know you cannot attend, please let me know so we will know the head count of who to look for.

WEEKDAY GROUPS:
When I email out this weeks routes, I will also share the feedback from everyone regarding the weekday running groups. As a reminder these groups are optional, but it helps pass the time and motivate to being running with others. The weekday runs of course are not optional if you want to do well, so start of "on the right foot" and stick as close to the plan as possible.
