Pace Group Run Saturday July 9

Hi

Hope everyone had safe travels and enjoyed their 4th of July Weekend. Those of us who stayed home and ran around here had a great time at Ruthie's send off part I. We hope you can be a part of Ruthie's send off Part II which will be held at 310 Lakeside on Central Blvd in Downtown Orlando @ 6:00 pm Thursday July 14 stay tuned for more details!!
A couple of reminders, first as always please remember to hydrate during the week and during the run. Second watch your pace, long runs should be run 30 seconds to 1 minute SLOWER than your marathon pace. That means if you plan to run your marathon @ a 9:30 pace you should be running between a 10 minute to a 10:30 pace!!!! With these temperatures this high you should consider adjusting your pace to run even slower!! I know some of our veteran runners know this however we all need to be reminded from time to time that our weekend runs are NOT races, so pace accordingly. It you want to see what your running pace should be with walk breaks take a look at our training page and it will give you two links for calculators.
Now down to business, this weekend you will have a choice of two runs either a hill run in Apopka or stay in town and run from Cady Way.
I (Terry) will lead the run in Apopka and Ray will lead the run from Cady Way.
