Rain or shine, we are running 8 and feeling great!

UPDATE!!!
Running along the water added more distance than I had thought it would. Our turnaround point was just past the Rusty Scupper at the third set of black benches.

Hello Runners!

A rainy day is forecasted for tomorrow but that won't stop us. Rain or shine, we will meet at the front desk at 7am for our 8-mile run.

We will run the 7-mile run that we did 2 weeks ago with a few minor changes to add an additional mile.

Starting at the club, run along the water as far as you can and then make your way onto Key Highway. Take Key Highway to Lawrence and make a right. Left onto E Fort and follow about 1/4 mile to Stevenson St. One you see Stevenson St. (I believe it is a one-way street) turn around and make your way back to the club the same way that you came.

We will have a small group tomorrow so hopefully we can all stick together. Feel free to bring ipods if that helps keep you focused.

Happy Running!

Hello Runners!

Can you believe that we are almost half way through our training program? Time flies when you're having fun!

You are all doing a great job! Everyone has been so positive and really pushing themselves to get through the tough parts of the run and the training program.

Tomorrow we will be running our longest run of 7 miles and everyone's favorite hill is included. We will get it out of the way early though so from then on it will be down hill and flat. Good luck and see you all bright and early.

Here is our route:
From the club along the water to Ellwood.
Left onto Ellwood
Left onto Pratt
Right onto Linwood
Left onto Baltimore up the hill
Left onto Wolfe
Right onto Aliceanna to the harbor
Run to the Science Center and turn around
Back to Aliceanna to Boston to the club

Saturday 6

Hi Runners! Looking forward to our run tomorrow morning. Please stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water tonight. If anyone would like to borrow my water belt during the run, let me know.

Tomorrow's run will be 6 miles. This course is part of our long run course that we will be getting to in a few weeks. It's mostly flat with a little bit of a hill in the middle.

Here is a brief rundown. Boston St. to Aliceanna. Follow Aliceanna to the harbor onto Pratt Street. Left at Rash Field to Key Highway. Follow Key Highway to Cross Street. Right onto Cross St and follow to Light Street. Right onto Light and back to the Harbor. Back to the club the way that you came.

Saturday five and you all survived!

Great job again today everyone! We had a nice turnout today and welcomed new member Tiffany to the group.

The group decision was to run the flat course along the water. We ran from the club along the water to the bridge right before Pier Six turned around and ran back.

Next weekend Angie will be leading the 5 1/2 mile run. Jacki and I will both be out of town for our good friend Stephanie's wedding. Thanks Angie! We will be thinking of you all when we are running on our own.

Keep up the great work and don't forget...tomorrow is a day of rest. Enjoy!
