Coach Al needs pace group leaders for Saturday’s long run. Let him know if you can help out. The earlier in the week you let him know the better!
SAVE THE DATE (and start second guessing your priorities…)! It is customary aboard the SHIP to gather at Chez Jerie the Friday before the Austin Marathon for the annual SHIP Marathon Party. This year that Friday happens to be February 14th which may ring a bell with the more romantic among you as Valentine’s Day. Invitation forthcoming.
You should have received an email with a link to nominate your Shipmate of the Year. Nominate someone you think has gone above and beyond for the Ship in 2024 (or longer). Past winners can’t repeat so please don’t nominate Al, Big, Sandy, Vance, Jerie, Michelle, Chelsea, Penny, Kate G., Luke, Jim G., Julie, or Tim. Ballot.
That same email contained a link for the Piss/Moan shirt award. Ballot.
Tuesday – meet near O. Henry at 10th/Wayside for an easy 1 mile warm up before the drills which begin at 6:00 pm…we’ll have water available. Then do Yasso 800s (marathoners = 10, half marathoners = 8, fun group = 6). Cool down with an easy mile.
Thursday – meet near O. Henry at 10th/Wayside for an easy 1 mile warm up before the drills which begin at 6:00 pm…we’ll have water available. Then do a tempo run of 5 miles (marathoners and half marathoners) or 3 miles (shorter route). Cool down with an easy mile.
Saturday – there will be a long run departing from the zero (676 W Riverside) at 7:00:00 am Saturday morning. Mostly off the trail for (marathoners) 14.20 miles, (half marathoners) 10.01 miles, or (shorter route) 6.70 miles. Breakfast at Cheko’s (1304 W Koenig) 9:35:36 am.
