Saturday Run

Three miles this week!  Meet at Valley Park again (Valley and Gould), but run down Gould to the Strand.  Take a right and run until 21st Street in Manhattan Beach (it's past the Pier) and turn around.  Be sure to enjoy some good stretching time in the park with everyone.  

Remember that these "long run" days are about building endurance, not speed.  Run at a pace that is comfortable and allows you to talk to someone fairly easily.  Next week I will write a post talking more about pacing.  Oh, and please resist the urge to walk up Gould...finish the run right! :)

Have fun...and I look forward to joining you next week!

    Yahoo! I am so excited (lie. I am nervous) about our run Saturday!

    Mostly I am delighted to be Runner of the Week. No one has EVER called me that before.

    On Saturday, let's meet at the corner of Gould and Morningside. I made a map of our run, I hope this link will work:

    Hi, I'm Sally's sister. I would so much rather join you running on Saturday, than staying here is cold, drizzly, gray Ohio. ;-(

    Sally, I'm so proud of you! You are awesome!

    I also feel jealous of having a resource like Kate. Totally cool. I read the bit on shoes, and it makes me want to go get a good pair.

    Keep up the good work, I bet it feels wonderful.

    I'll be there, but I might have to leave early! See you bright eyed and bushy tailed! ;)

    I am Tami's mother-in-law and I am running with your group. I wasn't sure if I could do this but today I did run 3 miles and it felt great! I may have to move it inside when the snow starts flying here in Utah but the 25 degree temperature hasn't stopped me yet.

    I am looking for some good running songs since my runs are solo, any suggestions? So far I have found -
    * On The Road Again - Willie Nelson
    * How Bad Do You Want It - Tim McGraw
    * I Run To You - Lady Antebellum
    * Life Is A Highway - Rascal Flatts

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Just go with your favorite songs that you can sing along with in your mind so you aren't thinking about the running.
