Week of 8/20/07:
Workouts - see below.
Social coming up!
New at Arch Rival: back to school Ivar backpacks, kids shoes; sale shoes for adults.
> Our get-together/social/PARTY is a go for MONDAY, 8/27/07 5-8pm (note the time) for primarily our TuTH 9am groups (otherwise not engough room; sorry for the change at last minute: it's more doable for our hostess).
Yes, there is no perfect date for everyone, so some of us decided that right at the beginning of school would be okay (not too much happens the first day anyway).
I checked with any number of you: no date worked in September! Too much going on between runs and triathlons! A number of you may be able to come by for a short while, please do so so you can meet the runners from the other groups.
WHO? (There's been a CHANGE, due to number of people )we'll have this gathering primarily for our Tu/Th9am HillRepeat/Track groups. I will do our 7am groups another date, okay?
WHERE? APRIL POWERS has graciously offered to host our groups at her house because when I started writing up my list of runners I realized Sandy and I would not have the room at our place. She is at 23 Terrace in Kentfield (that's on the east side of Sir Francis Drake Blvd, across from "Ski House" shop) - up the hill.(686-8222 in case you get lost)
Say from 5pm to 8pm because I know school is just starting, so we'll keep it to an early evening.
Kids along will be tough due to a pool on her property and space; okay to bring if no option on that score.
WHAT TO BRING?
Michelle Wilcox is helping me with this: we'll get emails out but I'm posting the breakdown for what to bring. Keep it simple as what to bring and if you have a side dish or plate you do well, go ahead and do it though you may be assigned in another category.
Thought we'd keep the food simple: bring pizzas, refreshments, finger food DON'T NEED TO BRING DISHES: more coctail party style finger-easy-to-eat food.
A-L: appetizer or side dish, pizza okay too.
M-D: Drinks (non-alcoholic, some alcoholic)..if some of you would, bring ice too.
R- V: desserts
W-Z: paper goods.
..my emphasis is to have time for all of you to visit and not make food prep a burden, and still keep the time reasonable as there is school the next day for many families.
TUE. 8/21. 6:30am TEMPO. China Camp
TUE. 8/21. 9am. TEMPO . Tenn. Valley group. We meet a usual church parking lot, then do our tempo workout on the marked MV bike path.
TUE. 8/21. 9am HILL REPEAT/TEMPO group.Ross Common. "Paceline uphill intervals"
Run to Phoenix Lake parking lot. Do 4 X 30" (back to base), then continue to base of Shaver. Form a pace line , single file a good 3-4 feet apart (more if there are only a few of you); then last person in line does an uphill pickup to the front of the jogging pace line, takes their place 3-4 feet in front of leader and continues recovery jogging mode; last person in line does their pickup to front of line, and so on. continue this to top of Shaver.
Come back to 5 Corners turn left up short hill and take Yolanda back to Phoenix Lake, ; pickup to top of dam. jog to parking lot. Then pickup to tennis courts followed by recovery run to Ross Common.
TUE 8/21. 6:30pm I will be at San Rafael HS track to help with timing the world record attempt by our club's 70-year olds on the 4X1 Mile Relay. Come out and do the track meet, then watch our senior members take the record back! You can also get in your workout see: www.tamalparunners.org.
TH 8/23. 7am & 9am. TRACK at COM.
LOOKING AHEAD: to upcoming workouts and practice races.
> see last posting on this blog for details on 9/9/07 DSE LAKE MERCED HALF MARATHON. This is our practice 13.1 miler for our training group; it's inexpensive, close by, I can bike with you (unless I'm lead biking); practice for tempo run and going to an event. I'll be driving the van over so we can vanpool it...
> 9/15/07. BANANA MAN CHASE 5K by Kezar stadium in Golden Gate Park (see www.theschedule.com or RhodyCoProds.com for details. Here's where we'll get our group together for the 3.1M distance-so you can test yourself on a fast run effort; contribute to team scoring for various age groups by showing up and running!; get our group picture afterwards, and still have your day mostly free. As I've said before the 5K teaches how to race (we can all do 3M, but how fast?) and pace: get it down with the 5K distance and all your other racing is easier. ..more coming up: have to dash for now.
ARCH RIVAL:
> We have 3 models of the practical partioned IVAR backpacks for carrying all those school books!($60, $70, $80)
> New PEGASUS TRAIL running shoes ($79.95) for men and women are just in!
> New lightweight hiking boots and 3 running shoes for youth;
> SALE on NB 857 running road shoes: lightweight, yet good support ($79, formerly $95)..new model will be coming in later.
