Some Updates

Good afternoon all. Hope your day is going well. A few updates.

Thursday Night Hills: I am not able to run tonight because of 2nd grade Open House. Tracy P. had asked me if anyone was running hills. I expect that she is offering to run hills are her house again (correct me if I am wrong Tracy). If you did not join us before, this worked out very well and we all had a good workout. If you are interested email Tracy.

Speed workouts: Some of you have asked about speed workouts. The "calendar" version of your training schedule shows this starting today, but this actually does not begin until after Labor Day. Once it begins, this will replace Hill workouts. Don will be sharing more information with us shortly. If anyone has access to a track, please let me know.

Friday Night: Don Garber and Joe Zielinski will be here Friday night. We are going out for dinner (maybe Mama's or Mario's). Would anyone like to join us? I need an answer to this ASAP so I will know if I need to reserve a big table. (I already know that Dave, Frank, and Kinnie are out)

Also, I have two pull-outs for Don and Joe, but if anyone has a more comfortable sleeping option they could offer that would be helpful.

Saturday Run: We will run at 6:30 a.m. from the Harris Teeter. It is too dark at 6:00 now to take a chance with 21 runners on the road. Don and Joe will both join us. Don will be bringing our team t-shirts (the technical race shirts come later). If you have any questions about your running, this will be a good time to ask.

Many of you are running a half marathon next weekend. Use this weekend as a "dress rehearsal". Think about what you will wear, what you eat, when you go to bed, how much your drink (water, not beer). Don't try to "race" our weekend run, but this is a good weekend to see what works as far as preparations.

I will email out the routes no later then tomorrow morning. See you all on Saturday!
