Good luck to everyone running 3M, Houston, or Bandera this weekend!
The Workout – 5 mile tempo
News – there will be a long run departing the zero at 7:00:00 am on Saturday. Off the trail this week for 10 miles or 20 miles. There will be gatorade out there every few miles. Please note that the 20 milers will need to run past the zero to somewhere near the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue at the end to get in the full 20 miles. Some of you are training for the full marathon but are also wanting to race 3M and are wondering…how do I race 3M AND get in my 20 miler?? You can add 7 miles to the beginning or the end of 3M. Ouch!! You can also swap this week’s 20 miler for next week’s 15 miler so you would only need to add 2 miles to the front or back of 3M. Less ouch!! Which is better? It depends on the runner so pick your poison and go about it with fervor! Breakfast at Taqueria Arandas (2448 S 1st) whenever you get there.
More News – SAVE THE DATE! There will be an ARC Party on Thursday, January 24th, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Luke’s Locker (115 Sandra Muraida Way). There will be snacks, cold beer, and 20% off everything in the store (except Garmin, sunglasses, and items already on sale). Not a member of ARC?? Join!! By the way, the party is NOT in lieu of the regular Thursday workout…it’s in addition to the workout.
Run every chance you get!
