Getting Down to Business

The Scenic 10 is 4 weeks away the Marathon is 9 weeks away, the 1/2 marathon is 6 weeks aways and the Fall racing season is right around the corner. The long runs are getting longer and the days are staying hot & humid. Buckle down fellow runners and we'll get through these dog days of summer together. Put your head down and grind out the miles and we'll come out of the tunnel much stonger, faster and mentally tougher.

On Wednesday we'll meet at Joe's Pond which is really a parking area overlooking a pond. It's on approximately 9900 S. 104th Ave. That's approximately 2 blocks south of Little Red School House. Park on the west side of the road if you can. We are going to depart a little bit ealier at 6:35 so we can get the tempo and hill workout in before the impending dusk. We'll be heading out towards Bullfrog Lake. Many TT&T who have done this workout have a love-hate relationship with it. We're sure you'll agree. Remember be ready to go at 6:35.

Marathon tip - you should be figuring out what shoes/socks you'll be planning to wear in the
marathon and start trying them out in your long runs so you know they'll be comfortable and will not cause blisters etc. For color coordination and fashion questions - check with Carrie.

Run On.

THis is a tough question to answer via e-mail. Talk to me at one of the upcoming practices.

Dear Skullmaster:
I am beginning to understand this marathon training thing.
However, what is the best way to keep from forgetting my bib or chip before the start of a marathon?
