5/10/08. 8:30am MARIN HUMAN RACE 5K & Kids Races. Civic Center area.
I'll be working this race, there are already over 1,000 pre-reg for this local event. It's a flat course, though with some turns.

5/11/08. 9am TCRS XC Run 7M on NORTHRIDGE COURSE area which simulates the distance of the Dipsea. So this will be a good one to get in.
"The third race in a series of progressively tougher TCRS runs takes place this Sunday, May 11th, at the Northridge course in Mill Valley. With a similar amount of climb, descent, and mileage to the Dipsea, this course is always a good indicator of how Dipsea racers will fare a month later. For race info and directions, go here. **NOTE: Race organizers are putting out the call for a few volunteer course monitors for this race, as the course features a fair number of turns and trail junctions. If you are not planning on running, but would like to help keep the racers on course, please contact Jim Myers at: jamesfsmc@pon.net , and he will assign a location for you. We'll see you Sunday at 9am!"

LOOKING AHEAD: there will be a Fourth of July race in NOVATO-
"FOUR ON THE FOURTH" (7/4/08) and the MAYOR'S MILE...more on this later.
I'll post JASON JACOBSON's Fri, Sat, Sun workouts later.
