Great job last Sunday on the 18/20 mile runs. The day was great for running and most of you seemed to do have survived the run well. I am glad we did not run on Saturday.
Shoes You need to start thinking about the shoes that you are going to use on race day. If you bought a new pair of in May and have done all of the training in that single pair of shoes, you may want to think about new pair of shoes. Shoes are funny. Only you can tell if you shoes need replacing. There are general wide guidelines (shoes last 300-500 miles). And you need to look not at the bottom of the shoes but at the compression of the midsoles.
In any event, the shoes you are going to wear on November 11 at the race, should be the same pair of shoes that you wear for the 20 mile run on Oct. 21 or 22. The biggest mistake you can make is to run the marathon in a new pair of shoes.
So start planning now to be in the proper footwear.
Pasta Party Our team pasta party will be on the night before the marathon. It is a little bit about eating some pasta, a little bit about having some fun, a little more about getting motivated for the race and a lot about enjoying your running friends. The cost is $19. You can get more information on the home page of the website.
Easy week (if 12 is easy??). See you this weekend..
