For me and perhaps for you, 2nd day after the long run: no joint pain - just muscle soreness - yeah!
The group I was with last Saturday (Joni, Sandy and Suzannah) punched through about 20.25 to 20.40 miles (depending on whose Garmin you use) on the Lost Bridge Trail route. On the second half of the route, we came across a Junior High cross country race in Rochester Park that was "energizing". It was great to see so many teenagers running in the race.
For most, if not all of us, the 20 mile threshold is behind us. The last long run a week from Saturday, will be much easier.
One of us will be running a marathon in less than 3 weeks. That's Sandy Elliott. She is now starting her cut back decent to run in the Quad City Marathon on September 27th. Good luck Sandy...we'll all be wishing you a successful result and one that you've worked hard to earn!
This week is 5/8/5 on the midweek runs. This holiday weekend probably is going to interfere with everyone's schedule a bit so good luck getting in the miles.
WEDNESDAY RUN: If anyone wants to join Suzannah and I for an 8 mile route on Wednesday starting at4:30 am please feel free to join us at Washington and Meadowbrook. The route has a few hills on Washington Street but it is a safe route for a nighttime run because for the most part it is well lit. Here's the link: http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=318024
SATURDAY'S RUN (9/12) is scheduled for 12 miles. Here's a route we've all run before that starts at Panera's West. With such a short distance lets start at 7am (can't believe I said that). http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=305277
Have a great short Labor Day Week!
All the best,
Bill

See you on Wed.. 4:30am.... Thanks for being such a great coordinator.
ReplyDeleteSandy... I am getting excited for you. I looked at the website... is there tracking available so we can track your run?
Joni - thanks for the support - I'm getting excited also. I don't know about tracking, but I will try to find out. I plan to come back and run with the Full-Tilts the Saturday after my race.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing everyone Saturday for the 12-miler.
Bill thanks again for setting up the route and hydration stops and thanks for the mention in your post.
Sandy
