Hi Everyone, sorry this is so late, but we are planning on meeting at Whole Foods @ 8 AM. We will plan on doing 5-6 depending on where you are. It is supposed to be pretty nice, so we'll see you there. Probably have a smoothie afterword. See you in the morning!

Thursday, July 30

After a successful outing to Lake Harriet for a run and a concert, we are going to be adventurous once again this Thursday and check out Minnehaha Falls. The concert there starts at 7 so we will meet at 6:15 near the top of the stairs next to Sea Salt (the yummy food option there). The entertainment will be The Dean Harrington Trio - Gypsy, Traditional and Latin Jazz. FYI: Here is a list of all Minneapolis parks concerts. Hope to see you there!

Concert in the Park, Tuesday 7/28

Hi friends,
Are you guys up for a run, picnic and concert in the park? July 28 Stan Bann Big Band Original/Contemporary Big Band Jazz is playing at 7:30 at Harriet.
Jim and I will be running tomorrow evening at 6:30. Let's meet at Harriet at the brown building bathrooms by the pathway from the concert area. If we can get going right away we should be good for the concert. Bring whatever you want to eat and drink in your picnic baskets.
Let me know to look for you or not.

Saturday the 24th

We had a great group last night and look forward to our weekend run.

Saturday, 8:00 at Whole Foods cafeteria is the meeting place. Something like 5 miles is the plan. We will do whatever we can. For alot of us we will run, walk, what ever is appropriate for each of us.

Any one up for a protein smoothie afterwards at Jamba Juice?
Let us know if we should be looking for you.

New Training Schedule

Hello Everyone, It would be great if you could comment and let us know how many of you are interested in running with us. Anyone is welcome, so pass the blog along.
We will meet Thursday evening at 6:30 rain or shine, at Lunds to talk about the training schedule. I have found the best training schedule I can find for our needs. www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half_marathon.html The schedule is the one on the bottom of his page for those with a time goal. This is the best I can find to change things up a bit and to improve our times. This also should allow each person to improve and push as hard as they need to along with XT. Most injuries occur because we are not always patient enough to warm up well, and take the slow runs slowly enough. Use the Jeff Galloway site as a resource.
We look forward to seeing you and answering any questions. I am hoping to have a picnic and concert run when weather permits.
Also, Saturday's long run will be a bit shorter as you can see which allows everyone the chance to jump back in even if they need to walk part of it.
See you ALL soon!
Cory

Tuesday's weather

Hey Gang,
Due to the weather and slow commutes, we will not be meeting tonight. We will however meet@ Lunds rain or shine on Thursday for an informational training schedule meeting and hopefully go out for a run. Saturday we will meet @ Whole Food market and go out for a 6-8 mile run depending on where you at.
We are excited about the new schedule geared for the Monster 1/2 Oct. 31st. That is only 15 weeks away. Holy Cow!

Saturday, July 18th

We will meet on Saturday morning at 8:00AM @ the Calhoun Beach House for a 4 mile run (out-and-back to Rose Garden @ Lake Harriet). There is ample *free* parking along Calhoun Parkway (and side streets) for those looking for a place to park.

Dean and I have a funeral to attend at 11AM, so we will need to get started promptly @ 8.

It will be a cool fall-like morning - come and enjoy the rare, mild (less humid) weather with us!

Tin Fish - Thursday, July 16th

Cory and Jim are off to Wisconsin to participate in the Door County Triathlon - GOOD LUCK! We will all be able to congratulate them on their success in person next week!

Come on down and join us for a run this Thursday - a beautiful mild (74 degree) evening is in store! We will meet at the Calhoun Beach House (near water fountain/restrooms) at 6:30 pm for a 3.1 mile run around Lake Calhoun. Following the run, everyone is welcome to join us at Tin Fish (menu can be found at: http://www.thetinfish.net/LC-MN/index.htm) for a bite to eat on the patio (adult beverages are also available if you choose).

Hope to see you there!

Happy Summer Everyone!

Well, I know you are all busy and enjoying the summer. Jim and are very sorry to have not been down to run. I have really been down sick. The funny thing is that Jim and I are leaving today for Door Co. I have to do the bike at the Tri, (we'll see how slow I can go, ha, ha!). The important thing is that Jim is doing the Half Ironman. So think positive thoughts please. I'm hoping to be feeling better by next Tuesday's run. So I will see you then. I hope you are all well and happy. We miss you all!
Cory

Update - July 9th

Cory is still under the weather, and will not be able to join us for this evening's run.

For those able to make it, we will meet at the tables just outside of Caribou at the Lund's in Uptown (6:30pm) for a light and easy 3.1 around Calhoun.

Hope to see you there!

July 7, 2009 - Important Info

Just an FYI that Cory and Jim will not be able to make the trip to Mpls to run w/all of us tonight. Cory is not feeling well, but hopes to be up and running (no pun intended) in time for Thursday's run.

For those who are able to meet this evening, please plan to gather near the tables outside of Caribou (attached to Lund's). Runners will warm up with a walk to Lake Calhoun, followed by a light/easy 3.1 mile run around Calhoun.
