Pace Group Run 4th of July Weekend Run

Happy Fourth of July and congratulations on one month of training down! Also, congratulations to everyone who braved the Apopka "hills" for the first time. Remember, the terrain in Apopka is what runners pretty much everywhere else run on a regular basis and, likely, will be similar to the terrain you'll experience in your marathon or half marathon - even Disney!! I encourage all of you to come out to Apopka every time we have that as an option. Even if you are targeting a race that's touted as being "flat," running the rolling hills will only make you stronger!


This is a short week of training because of the 4th of July holiday. Thursday and Saturday will be "OYO" this week. For those of you new to distance, feeling fatigued, or if you just need a little break (there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!), I highly recommend taking Susan's advice and either completely take off from running on Thursday and Saturday or go for short, very easy miles.

For those of you who are in town this week, more experienced to distance, and those still feeling pretty good after this month of training, we will have a couple options on Thursday and Saturday if you would like to run. Thursday morning, we will meet at Glenridge at the normal morning location for 6-8 miles starting promptly at 4:30am. If you wish to run, please be there by 4:20am.

Saturday morning, we will have our first Wally's run of the session. Meet at 5:50am at Wally's at the corner of Mills & Weber for 6-9 miles. Please park on the street, not in the Wally's parking lot. We will meet in front of Wally's and will leave promptly at 6am. Following the run, join us for our celebration of Independence at Wally's for a couple drinks. Be sure to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards - bringing a clean shirt wouldn't hurt either! Breakfast to follow at Banana's!

Here are the route options we'll be running on Saturday:
