It was nice to get a small break from training last week with only 13 miles on the schedule. Back to reality this week with a 21 mile route (only one more long one after this). Stacey and I have decided to also change things up once again by offering a 2 loop course this week. We thought it might be nice to be able to come back to TTS for a bathroom break. The course will be a 10.5 mile loop that is somewhat flat (only a few small rollers).

Don’t forget to study up. We have put together what we believe to be the most comprehensive Online Running Manual available. All of your running/walking questions can be answered in this manual. If you are interested in participating in a mini marathon this fall, we would like to recommend the Fall Runathon series. This new series consists of a 5k (Sept. 6th), a 10K (Oct. 4th) and a mini marathon (Oct. 25th) Click on the link to get more details. Once again, I can’t stress enough the importance of recognizing our sponsors. Without these people, this program would not be possible. Here is a list with links for more information about each company.
