RUN RSVP: Saturday 07/31

Last weekend was hot. This weekend will likely be more of the same. I will remind you once again to adjust your pace for the heat. When doing your long runs, it is more important to cover the required distance than it is to hit a certain pace. Running a set speed is of course a good thing to do, but not if it causes you to stop early.

Run Details:

For those following the MCM training plan, this is a recovery week. As mentioned earlier this week, recovery is key to marathon success. If your own personal training plan does not have recovery this weekend, feel free to add on miles. I selected a different route (no Candlewood), so please be sure to review the map and written directions. For the 7 and 10 miles routes, the directions are viewable below the maps. For the 3.8 Mile route, it is under "View Notes".

It will be hot. . . arrive hydrated, and stay hydrated. As a reminder. We ran out of fluids last week. Please RSVP so we can prepare accordingly. I need to get my run in on Sunday this week, and Ursula will be at a swim meet on Saturday. Can some put out the fluids? I can provide the cooler, cups and Gatorade mix if needed. Please post a comment if you can help.

If anyone else wants to run Sunday, please post a comment as well.

I'll bring my water cooler, so the only thing you need to bring will be the Gatorade.

Sorry ron. I never replied. If you still need a cooler let me know. If you bought stuff save the receipt and we can reimburse you.
