Week 14

Time for another well deserved break from the long mileage.   I heard several people struggled last weekend.  The humidity was more than likely the culprit.  If you feel your issues were nutrition or hydration related, please reach out to myself or Stacey with any questions about fueling, hydration, etc.  We are always happy to help.  One last thing, myself and Stacey will be pre-occupied this week with the upcoming Dragon Boat races, so we will not be running and will not be available after the run.  We will however, be there to send you off and get your started.  My son Bowen will be on hand to greet you as you finish.  Enjoy the low mileage but slightly hilly course this week.

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.
