The Week of New Year's Races

Hello Fellow Runners,

We hope you all had a fantastic holiday and are ready to bring in the new year.
Jim, Katy, Cathrine, and I had a beautiful run this morning the paths were great and the weather was amazing for December!

Monday we plan to run regular time. We won't be running on Wed. or Saturday because we will be ringing in the New Year with a race on Thursday and Friday. Many of us are running the Resolution Run and/or the Polar Dash.
We are planning on a little get-together after the the Run on Thursday to celebrate the New Year. We are not sure if we will go the Nick and Eddies or the like after the run in Maple Grove, but we hope you all can join us for a little cheer!

If you haven't had a chance to join us it is never too late! Just show up and and put one foot in front of the other. We are here and there is a pace for everyone and a distance right for you. What is standing in your way? What excuses are you letting decide you life? WE MISS YOU!!!!!

See you soon,
Cory

Christmas Week

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all the great miles we have run together. Jim and I were talking about all the memories we have with all of you. You have been great friends and have made training so much fun! Just think how much fun we can have in 2010.

The schedule will be the same for the week of Christmas. Same times and same places. We will continue to slowly add our mileage and get ready for some New Year races. Jim and I are running the Resolution Run and the Polar Dash so we will not need to run our 7 miles on that Sat. I just thought I would give you a quick update so you could plan.

See you all soon!

Week of 12-14

Hey Crazy Minnesota Dwellers,

Well, the weather has certainly all got us thinking... what to wear? When in doubt, add a layer you can shed if you need to. Something for your face is important at least for the first 1/2 mile until you warm up.
Monday: 6:30@RR- Left along Isles, 5CD & 5ACG along with our circuit training.
Wednesday: 6:00@RR- Left on Isles and then 4hill repeats and our cool down back to the store.
Saturday: 8:00 @Whole Foods 5 miles and 10 miles or whatever you need to do.

Remember, your resistance bands for Monday.

Carpe' Diem and don't forget to invite your friends they don't know what they are missing!

Wednesday the 9th Weather Cancellation

Winter is Here!

Weather for this Wednesday night is colder with wind chills down below 10 degrees. Jim and I would probably come down but because this is the first real cold snap and none of us are used to it and we don't know if the paths will be cleared we will try to run indoors this evening.
Saturday will be cold as well, but we are planning on coming down to run and dressing really warm. I guess it is time to get out the real winter gear. Ha Ha. We are going to have to get used to the winter weather sometime.
See you all on Saturday!
Have a great day!!!!

Week of Dec. 7th and Colder Weather

Hello Friends,

This week we have 4 CD&ACG finishing with our circuit training which everyone seems to be loving. We have 3 hill repeats on Wed. and then 4 or 10 miles depending on what group you are in.

The important thing this week is we are not used to the cold yet so we need to warm up a bit before we go out and dress in layers. For the long run it is important to dress a bit warmer yet, because you are not running as fast and you are out there a bit longer.

1. Please remember to have warm dry clothes to put on afterwards.
2. Dress in layers that breathe.
3. Bring a neck warmer, hat and mittens.
   
4. A light if you have one.
5. A resistance band if you have one.
6. Always warm-up and cool down well.
