There is still time to sign up for the San Fran Marathon 5K Race or the Second Half Marathon. Go to http://runsfm.com. We are Team 303 for your sign-up discount.
Sunday, July 26 is less than 2 weeks away. We participants are now in taper mood. Here is my list of Team 303 WOW Participants.
• Jeanetta Mack
• Marly N
• Stephanie Atwood
• Jennifer Birch
• Christy G
• Sonia B
• Kimberly L
• Alison A
If your name is not on this list, please tell me and I will get it listed with The WOW Team.
This week is a taper week. Surprisingly, this doesn’t mean we cut back on our intensity. In other words, our track workout and mid-week runs/walks are still hard. However, we are cutting back on distance for the half marathoners. 5K participants will continue at their same level with a steady/brisk 30 minute mid-week workout and 60 minutes of walk/run on Sunday.
Be sure to get plenty of rest for the next week and a half. Start planning your clothes and your meals. Stay hydrated.
Meeting places
The 5K Race starts at 7:30 AM. You may pick up your bib that day and even register for the race on Sunday. Please check the website for full details at http://runsfm.com
Check if BART runs that day or, put a message out on meetup to car pool. I recommend all 5K participants meet at 7:00 AM at the corner of Howard and Embarcadero (with all details taken care and ready to race). I will not be there since I am running the course that starts in Golden Gate Park.
I believe that Christy G, Sonia B, and Marly N are signed up to do the 5K. Any others?
The Second Half Meeting Place
SF Marathon Organizer Pam M suggested that we meet at Fulton and 36th, only a few blocks from the start. Some of us will start running at 8:00 so let's plan to meet at 7:30, ready to rock and roll. Please determine your transportation to and fro before race day. Also, you need to pick up your bib in advance. Let me know if you have questions and we'll try to coordinate.
WOW participants in this race are:
Stephanie A
Kimberly L
Alison A
Jennifer B
If I missed your name, let me know!
I want to congratulate all of you who have trained for the upcoming SF Marathon Races. This includes the full marathon, half marathons, progressive marathon, and 5K. You are now in the phase where there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Now is the time to start visualizing yourself doing the race and also planning your pre-race ritual. Try to think the whole thing through; write down your thoughts and make a list of what you need to do for the race – before, during, and after. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be going over pieces of this during the next few weeks and you are always welcome to contact me at Stephanie@AskAboutrunning.com
Note: I can’t obligate you to wear your WOW cap but, I would be honored to know that you wore it on race day and told the world that you are a member of The WOW Team.
