Dear Running and Walking Buddies:
I am so proud of you ladies who make it out there almost every weekend. Good for you! And those of you who have a good excuse, I understand. Now those of you who just don’t come out, well…WE MISS YOU AND YOU MISS OUT ON A GOOD WORKOUT! The more the merrier. It’s definitely more fun to run with a group.
Welcome back Lisa! Returning from 2007 was Lisa M, one of my wonderful assistants. Great to have you back. Now that you’re in the “mode” I need you every weekend, rain or shine, please?
And welcome to newcomer Kathryn L who contacted me through the Berkeley Parents Network. It turns out that Kathryn and I have known each other for more than a decade but connected again because we both believe in fitness, the outdoors, and strong women. Welcome aboard Kathryn! Here’s to more Sundays together!
Our “Fun Run” at the Marina, last Sunday, was a lot of fun. Everyone got a finish ribbon, as promised. I think most of you tried to push yourselves a bit on the 3 mile route. I hope you had fun, too. I’ll keep track of times for all of you who are members so that you can track your progress. We’ll do this again in the future. Next time we’ll do breakfast afterwards. How does that sound?
10% Discount at Transports for Ask About Running Members
I spoke to two of the owners, Kei and Frank, at Transports and they were kind enough to offer a 10% discount to all members of the Ask About Running Club. Next week I will bring membership cards for all of you current members so that you can take advantage of this special deal. Thanks Transports.

Start Training for SF Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K Race Next Week
This is going to be one of our “chosen” events for the year. We are going to include workouts for all 3 distances so that all of our members can be supported and encouraged to be involved at whatever level they would like.
We will offer training for a first 5K along with half and full marathons training guides. We’re adding track workouts in San Francisco for the speed segment of training. Training for this one starts April 14. Stay tuned for details…
See Jane Run Half Marathon and 5K Practice on The Course
On May 4 AAR Gals will be able to run a 12 mile route on the actual See Jane Run Half Marathon course. We will also offer the standard 3 miler, also a SJR event. Plan to come out and run and support your running buddies. This should be fun!
Volunteers needed to help with the practice course
If you have extra family members who might want to donate an hour or two of their time, it would be great to have a few volunteers along the course on May 4 for aid and encouragement. We can also recruit from those of you running the 3 mile course. Please let me know if you, or someone you recommend, may be available. Thanks.
April 27 we’ll be running in San Francisco
I’d like to do the Golden Gate Bridge Route. On a good weather day it just doesn’t get any better than running or walking across the Golden Gate Bridge. Details to follow…Time will be 9:00
