I know many of you want to get in an eight mile run today and will be starting at 6pm.  Please remember however, that you have a 20 miler this weekend.  If you are running eight, run VERY easy on Saturday morning and just enough to keep loose for Sunday.

 

Having said that...the group starts running today at 6:40 and will run about 45 minutes or as long as light permits.  STAY TOGETHER as its getting darker. 

 

I'll look for a new location for next week that gives us light options: probably the Silver Spring International Middle School track on Sligo Avenue.

 

Happy Running

Easy enough, we're going to start lengthening these workouts.  I know a few of you are meeting at 6PM and joining the rest at 6:30.  For the majority, we are meeting at 6:30 and will start running at 6:40. I'll bring a route that will allow us to run upto 7/7:30pm so we don't get caught in the dark.

 

Happy Running,

Congratulations to all who completed Virginia Beach's Rock n Roll Half Marathon. I am looking forward to hear the stories from you, but from what I've read so far, you should all be proud. 

At the very least, I heard that you learned the most important lesson of all - have fun!  Ok, so most runners don't go parasailing after a race, but who's to say they shouldn't.

 

For this week's workout...we haven't been on the hills for a while and its time to get back.  Quite simple: Two mile warmup, hill repeats and two mile return.  We've been doing about a six mile workout each week, so try for six repeats: we haven't done hills in some time so be conservative this week. 

 

Time: 6:30

Location: Starbucks parking lot: Connecticut Ave @ Jones Bridge.

 

Happy Running
