2009-12-20T15:38:00.000-08:00

What is the time block for each of the Sunday workouts ? - Good questions, thanks for checking in.

Our first 6 weeks will include a talk before the workout - approximately 30 minutes. So, our 6 miles workout plus talk will start at 8:00 and most of us

California International Marathon Comments from "The Girls"

2009-12-08T13:33:00.001-08:00

From Salina L - It went just fine! I finished with a time of 4:13:46 or something right in there. Like I said I didn't have any real expectations since I stopped doing the track workouts after I started having pain in my right left/knee. I ran the whole time with the 4:15 pace group and then ran hard the last mile and a half. My legs didn't feel so good starting at 18 miles but I just kept going

Well Stephanie, I did it! Only 16 seconds slower than my PR at American River Parkway on a harder course--with a broken toe and a twisted ankle (on Saturday, ow!). It was one of the most gorgeous days ever--sun, in the 50's, and spectacular ocean. I'm sore and home and ready to rest....See you next weekend. Thank you for all your support and mentoring.

Hi Stephanie! ...I just wanted to write to full you in on how my race went....I started the race and set out to go slow, which is what I felt like I was doing.

At first I thought I was running REALLY slow, but then realized that there were no markers so I felt better and just
