09/20 Updates

Wednesday: I will be running at 5:45 from my house on Wednesday afternoon if anyone is interested in joining me again. The high on Wednesday is 78, but that night it is supposed to get down to 52 so it should be real nice weather to run in.

Thursday: Our speed workouts for Thursday are as follows:
  • Novice. . . . . . . . . . . . .Intermediate:
  • 2 x 400 . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 x 600
  • 2 x 1200 . . . . . . . . . . . .3 x 1200

To be honest, the speed workout is simple enough where it could be run on the roads doing fartleks instead. If anyone is interested in running in the afternoon let me know. I would also be willing to run them on a treadmill at the Y, at City Lake, or at a track if someone has access. Next week the speed workouts are mile-repeats, which can easily be done at City Lake which is roughly a half mile loop.

Pasta Dinner: Every year the Marathon Training Team has a pasta dinner the night before the race. You are not required to attend, but it would be nice if our Rocky Mount Team could be represented at the event. I have never been, but I hear it is always a lot of fun and the food is good. Ursula and I plan to take off Friday from work, and drive up to Richmond. This will give us time to get our race packets and check into the room. After that we will head to the event. It says "the coaches are the entertainment", but don't count on Frank and I doing River Dance or anything like that. I will however have a fun slide show to share with everyone.

The cost is $19.00 per person. Kids 5-12 are $8.00. Under four is free.

53 Days until your marathon!
