5:1 Group Leader Update for 8/16/2008

Man – is it hot in Houston! I did a 12 miler with speed work Tuesday morning in Houston – well I guess you could call it “speed”. It was 83 degrees when I started - at 5:45am – and 83 degrees when I finished. Totally like a sauna. I’m sitting in Buffalo Wild Wings Houston planning another 12 tomorrow morning – and it doesn’t look much better. Oh those fall marathons – but enough belly aching.

This week is the magic mile revisited – so we will be meeting over at the Family Recreation Center on Whiteway (by the cooler between miles 7 and 8) at 6:00PM. If you are doing 10, please jump on the MM routine outlined by Linda in her message and see how you fare.

For longer runners, Lindsey has 17 and I have 20, so I will be out at The Rec Center at 4:15AM to get in 3 miles, then again at 4:45AM to meet Lindsey for another 7. We’ll loop back around to the Rec Center at 6:00AM– anyone not doing the magic mile can join us for the last 10.

Here is a link to Google maps if you aren’t sure where we are meeting:

Sorry this is so short – it has been a hectic work week and I’m running for my life. I’ll see you all Saturday.
