I'll be entering info in bursts as we've had a change of events in the family (my Dad has had two seizures: one on Friday and again on Sunday-it's changed his status dramatically) so we've been busy!My brother and sister are in town to help, so we're doing fine. Just tough to see one's father go through these episodes.
..so here goes the dot journalism style for now.
- The workouts this week, then I'll recap our group's efforts at the KAISER PERMANETE HALF MARATHON last weekend. What a beautiful day for the race - and no gale force winds on the Great Highway!
- COUPLES RELAY is this Sunday. Try and get your partner lined up this week; if you still need one come race morning and we'll line you up with one.
this race is good for speedwork, a lot of fun and no pressure. I'm hoping we attract many young people to join in as the 2M distance is so doable for most runners.
If you're on the marathon training program for NAPA MARATHON (3-5-06)refer to my email for details. Essentially you can run some mileage before the Couples Relay, do the race, then follow-up with some more distance work..It's the weekend of two "medium days" of mileage: about 22M for the weekend.
- TH we have the usual track sessions for 7am and 9:15am at COM...may have some with relay 400's to tune-up for the weekend race.
- FRIDAY, 2/10/06. 9AM CROSS TRAINING CLASS (and Circuit weight training) with April Powers and I. This facility is a real find: lots of space for 27 stations of exercises, no crowds and then April has a swim workout planned for you each time. Terrific for triathletes to get in a cross training day. Only $21/semester-through May, plus the $30/month for my group members.
Fridays, nobody is using the gym so this works out great for those who are motivated: make use of those facilities!
BUT, if you haven't signed up (it's through the College), you must do it ASAP. Email April: coachapril@comcast.net or call at a reasonable hour on her cell at 686-8222
THIS WEEKEND: I'm holding off on Sat workout due to my Dad's questionable condition, but will hopefully see most of you on Sunday at the Couples Relay...
..more to come
