RUNNING BUDDY TIMES

Thanks to those who responded to my questions about running times last week.


* Danielle said she can run in the evenings or about 5:00AM – pending she isn’t working at Starbucks until 1AM! Yikes! If you are ever interested in running
* Ryan typically runs early mornings (such as tomorrow) around 5:30AM.
* Corky also typically runs early mornings – around 6AM-ish
* Terry is good to run mornings every now and then but usually works out at the club first thing in the AM.

NEXT BIG RACE MOVED TO DALLAS?

Through talking with a bunch of you guys, I think most people are on board for group training for the Dallas White Rock half or full marathon December 13th. Ryan and Corky have decided to change their event to Dallas, Donnie and Terry were up in the air but were leaning towards Dallas, and Danielle is such a sweet and free spirit that she can go either way.

I think this is a good idea since it is such a greater convenience for so many people. Check out the website at http://www.runtherock.com/

ATTACHED is a run schedule in an excel sheet. The first tab is a White Rock half beginner training schedule, the second is an intermediate training schedule for the half, and the last is an intermediate training schedule for the full marathon. You guys let me know if you need a training schedule that is not posted. Just a note on the intermediate half training: it’s all messed up on the alignment. I’ve tried for about an hour or more to fix it, and it’s not cooperating. I’m going to assume, then, that you as intelligent beings can line up the schedule with the correct date and see what you need to do. That is a better idea than me pulling my hair out and potentially throwing my computer into the AOS room and beating it with a kettle bell.


Also attached is a cross training regime you can do on the treadmill in the event you have to run on one. These are great for either a short workout or for tossing in the middle of a longer run that you might have to do.

For more cross training ideas OUTSIDE, visit www.halhigdon.com or www.runnersworld.com.


Ok, that’s it. Let me know if you guys are interested in the Saturday run, this evening’s run, sprinting in the AM, or the Dallas race.

Thanks for reading, guys!
Happy Training!
