Getting it out early this time

Marathoners I first want to apologize for dropping the ball on last weeks blog, So sorry I did not get it out to you all. Good news is though your mileage is going to drop off tremendously from this point until the Big Day!! This weeks mileage should be at 25 with and 8 miler on Sat and next week pre marathon you don't need to worry about getting more then 12 miles in. I will be sending out a more detailed schedule of our final week of preparation regarding tapering rest days and carbo loading. As for this week Craig and Mary came up with the brilliant idea of getting our 8 in on the last miles of the course itself. So if you can arrange a pickup or carpool the plan is to meet at SMHS at 7 and leave towards SBCC getting in the big hill on Cliff Dr and then having a ride or jumping in with a ride to get you back to SMHS if you need. Please let me know if this does not work for you and I will work something else out for you! This will be our last long run and if it's possible you should try and get your second longest last run in tomorrow (Wed) maybe 6-8 miles.

Halfers - I hope you are enjoying our speed/strength training as it is a bit different then we are used to and it really is the perfect time to work on our speed at the end our season of training. However I would love to meet with you guys outside of just Saturday morning, to get the most out of this training as you may have noticed it's not the easiest adjustment. So if you are available I would like to propose an optional 2nd practice on the week tomorrow at SMHS @ 3:45- 4pm that should finish up no later then 5-5:15pm before it gets dark. I would also like to get in another practice next week maybe Tuesday at the same time. Please email me or call Dawn to let us know if you CAN make it. I would like to have at least 4 participants to make it worth while. I will be at the track at 3:45 unless I don't here back from anybody my email agaribay2@gmail.com. I can tell you that this would be very beneficial to everyone as speed training needs to be worked on and we could just about double our days of this end of season training, if you can make it out to the extra days. If you cannot please try and put yourself through a mile on (tough) mile off easy workout Wed for roughly 6 miles. Your weekly mileage this week is at 20. Either way practice will again be held out at SMHS @ 7am for everyone!

Hope to see you all soon!
