Pace Group Run Saturday Oct 6

First of all, good luck to everyone racing this weekend - everyone being, Dani, Lora and Laura!! Good luck, have fun and be sure to bring us back lots of pictures from Chicago!




This weekend will be the last long run for our Marine Corps Marathon runners. Be sure to rest up, eat and hydrate well all week and have your race nutrition ready! Use this as a dress rehearsal for your race. Wear the running gear you intend on wearing on race day, bring the nutrition you intend on using on race day, and make sure to bring some post-run nutrition. Low-fat chocolate milk is always a good option to have. Bring a small cooler and have that chocolate milk ready for immediately after the run.

In addition to pictures from races and events, running routes, and other useful information, we also will include information for anyone in our group running for a cause. If you are fundraising and would like to have your information included, please email Terry to add that information to the blog.




Looking ahead: I know the Philadelphia marathon was not an officially targeted race and we do not have an official race schedule. However, I also know a good number of our group is running this marathon. Please let me know if you prefer to do the traditional 3 week taper or if you'll be doing a 2 week taper. For those wanting a 3 week taper, I'll be happy to plan out a long run for you on October 27th.
