Check the incredible London and Rotterdam marathon results!...ZIPPY 5K this Sunday in Golden Gate Park: run it whether you are "ready " or not to get your baseline on a 5K. I'll be taking the van over, lead biking, so I can take a few people over.
4/15/08. TUESDAY. 6:30am TEMPO at CHina Camp site.
4/15/08. TUESDAY. 9am HILL REPEATS. Meet at parking lot at Tenn Valley site.
We will be working Marincello trail for repeats to the top. Now that school break is over everyone is back in action.
4/17/08. THURSDAY. 7am & 9am. TRACK at COM.
4/17/08. THURSDAY. 5pm . "SALMON RUN" on the Dipsea course followed by a salmon and other goodies feast...potluck..Gives you a Dipsea practice time trial...there will one every other week: two in April and two in May.
"Dipsea Salmon Run, next on MAY 1, 2008- The annual dipsea salmon runs are back on track for this our 20th year. What started out as a "lets do a practice run on the dipsea" has turned into a traditional run of sorts. The first one is scheduled for April 17 a Thursday starting down in Mill valley leaving at the square and always at 5:00 p. m. below the clock. The next three are in May on the 1st, the 15th and the 29th. These are always on Thursdays to avoid any traffic in Stinson beach. We get a true run of the course for practice purposes in terms of times and comparisons with other runners. There is a potluck in the park afterwards so I ask all runners to participate by bringing a dish of some sort in the form of a salad, dessert, drinks, garlic bread, et. al. I ask all participants to please call the Monday of that week for ordering purposes. We have marinated salmon with a crew firing up the barbecues in the form of an old fashioned picnic. The cost is $10.00 per person. We can always use additional drivers to help get runners back over the mountain so please consider asking friend, wife, or other to consider this request. Prior to five years ago, we had no fees, permits or insurance to pay for, but now those additional costs make it more difficult to cover basic expenses. Please call early in the week at 415-924-5037. To honor 20 years, we are printing up black t-shirts for the occasion. Thanks, Jerry Leith-THIS IS NOT A TAMALPA SPONSERED EVENT.
4/2o/08 SUNDAY. Men: 8:30am; Women: 9:15am. ZIPPY 5K run. in Golden Gate Park.
http://www.zippy5krun.org/ for info...We're shooting for a good turnout for this time trial and scoring race. Good one to support and not crowded; you will be pulled to a PR run. This 5K effort will also give you a quality push to prep you for Dipsea. As I've said before: this distance of 5K will teach how to race.
CARPOOLING: I will meet folks who might want to carpool at 7:20am and leave by 7:30am at Arch Rival parking lot, Greenbrae. I can stay a while after the women's race is over while you run a cool-down run, but i will leave GG Park at 10:30am to get back to work by 11am at Arch Rival. Those who want to do a longer run after their blistering pace 5K race, can carpool separately to get in their workout.
Make sure all of you are registered with Tamalpa and pausatf.org so your participation counts towards our team scoring. That means whether you think you're a slow runner or not - getting a team complement is what counts!
4/19/08. NO Hill Repeats today, due to Zippy's run on Sunday. Just do easy half hour steady run or rest.
