Getting Ready

Don't forget about the restorative yoga tonight @ 4:30 - we all can meet at the gym around 4:15 or just go to studio 2 in the Lighthouse Point building (where the yoga classes are held). You all will love this!

Please bring $10 or we can put it on your account.

Also, Packet pick up is on Saturday at the State Fairgrounds between 10-5. or on race day (which I DO NOT recommend). I will be going so if you need me to pick up your packet I can.

You all are more than welcome to ride with Steve and I on Sunday morning, we will be leaving around 5am.

Drink lots of water today and tomorrow and get rest!!!
You all are well prepared for this run!

May 18 - Tuesday is Hill Day!!

Good Morning Runners!

We will be running outside today in the rain!
We are meeting at the gym at 6pm today and running to Patterson Park and then the Hills.

You all have done sooooo well during this training season. I feel very confident you will run your best on Sunday! I cannot believe the time is here!

Here are some tips before race day:


Eat your breakfast, which should be carbohydrates, 1 1/2 hours before the race.

Start slowly for the first 1-2 miles and then keep tempo so that you will run the second half faster than the first half.

Pre-wash your shirts! They should be nice an soft before wearing them for 13.1 miles!

MAY 8TH - SATURDAY'S RUN

Hello fellow runners!
You all did very well yesterday on the hills! We actually ran 5.59 miles yesterday - in the heat no less! Thumbs up for Ellen, Rachael, Laura and Kristy for working very hard up those "Lovely" hills.

Our route for Saturday will be an out and back route - 10.23 miles. We will be hitting the hills at the beginning of the run and at the end.

Please make sure you hydrate the day before and in the morning get a little something to eat so you have energy for the run. It looks like it will cool off by then - thank goodness!

We will be leaving the gym turning right down the water to Canton Park up the steps to Boston Street, hop over to S. Elwood, up to Baltimore Street, turn left on Baltimore Street. Follow Baltimore to Washington, left on Washington down to Aliceanne, turn right. Follow Aliceanne all the way to the water fountain by Legg Mason go straight towards the water and follow the promenade all the way around the harbor, go past the Rusty Scupper, follow along the water until you get the Pierside Drive (by the tall condo Tower) and turn around. Follow the same route all the way back through the harbour to Legg Mason and down Aliceanne, turn left up Washington, right on Baltimore, Right on S.Elwood and follow back all the way to the water and gym.
