Dear Groupies,
What a wild and crazy weekend for August. Cooler temperatures arrived for perfect running weather. The first group ran on Friday night at the Mapleton Midnight Half Marathon. What a fun race as we donned glow sticks and costumes to run down the Hobble Creek Canyon late Friday night. It was a great preview of the upcoming Hobble Creek Half Marathon. Bob and Lindsay finished within 29 seconds of the prize-winning midnight finish time; Christi took first place in the costume contest. She was followed by the flash cameras of the paparazzi throughout the night. (Check out Angie's pictures in Race Nation.)
The Second Group toed the line of the Provo River Half Marathon just as the Midnight runners were arriving back home. It was a gorgeous day in the Canyon. Congratulations to the finishers in this race.
6 a.m. came early for the rest of the group that met on the Jordan River Parkway for an EASY nine miles.
We are in the final stages of the marathon training for the season. Stay focused and smart about your training. You want to complete all of your long training runs,
work on speed and tempo during the week; and take notice of your running shoes and clothes for the long runs and the races. You have put in a lot of time and effort - follow through and you'll be ready for the Big Day!
If you have any questions about training, talk to Christi or your group leader.
See you bright and early next Sat. for the 20 miler! Enjoy the week!
Teresa
