A couple notes

Off Season Striders are meeting at Dunn Brothers South (near TJMaxx) at 7:30 am Saturday morning for a run of approximately 7 miles. With this group you can always add or shorten the route to your liking. A couple of Team RED members are going in a 7am to add a few... come join us if you're available!

If you're considering the Med City Marathon or Half Marathon, consider signing up this month! If you register by 01/01/2010 it's a fantastic price! Just $30! There's also a 5K and a relay you can take part in. Check it out at http://medcitymarathon.com/

Not everyone is a racer... but for me, I find it helpful to put something on my calendar as a goal to work toward. Especially in the winter! There are some fun winter races ahead.

As you can see by the polls on the right hand side of the blog. We're getting ready to add some indoor track work to the winter regiment. There is nothing quite like the track to teach us how to go fast! With most track workouts, you'll do some type of repeats. For example, we might run 400 Meters fast, then run 200 Meters at a recovery pace.. then repeat. There are quite a few ways to dice it up... but essentially, it's hard effort followed by recovery time followed by hard effort. You do not have to be a speedster to try this, but it surely will help make you faster! We haven't yet nailed down the details... but if you're interested, be sure to let us know.
