Marathonfest Pace Group Weekend Run Saturday July 30

Hi
Great run this past weekend, it was nice to take a little mileage break. Congratulations to those of you who braved Clermont, it was a great run!! A special "welcome to the club" to Hillery and Kevin who ran Clermont for the first time and kudos to Kevin who made it all the way up Hospital Hill without stopping on his first try!! Well done to everyone!!
Before we get down to business, a couple of items of note: If you are thinking of running Savannah this year it is getting close to closing so hurry up and get off the fence!!! Also the next road trip race we have coming up is the Asheville Half, a number of us have done this race the last few years and it is a fun race with great post race goodies. A number of us have already signed up for this race again and it is close to closing.
Now down to business. This week the mileage stays on the shorter side but we go to Apopka. However, for those of you who need to stay closer to home or who ran Clermont last week and have had enough of hills for a while, we will also offer a WP run. As noted in Susan's mail below, on these shorter runs we can stick a little closer to marathon pace, however a lot depends on the temps and how you feel. It is probably better to start off the first half of the run at a slower pace then if you are feeling ok try picking up the pace. This heat and humidity has a way of sneaking up on you so be careful.

WEEKEND MILEAGE- The pace for this run should ideally be AT your goal race pace. However, factor in the hills and the heat index and pace yourself accordingly!

Chicago/St. Louis/USMC/Savannah/ING NYC............10-14 miles
Space Coast.......................10 miles
Jacksonville.........................10 miles
Disney.................................8 miles
GOOFY...............................8 miles
HALF-MARATHONS.............6 miles

The Plan: Meet in Apopka at 4:45 Start at 5:00
We will cover 6,8,10,and 14 miles!!!

For those running in WP, meet Ray @ Cady Way for 12 at 5:30. Route will be announced

Have a good week and look forward to seeing you on Saturday!!
