Hi, we had a request to post the workout...See you on the 4th!

Vieja Valley Elementary School 6:30am
workout: 3 continuous Via Roblada loops at threshold effort....4.2miles total (if you are racing the Resolution Run and want a little boost in performance...then run the first loop at threshold effort, and then really push to faster than 5K race pace on the second loop and back down steadily and deliberately to threshold effort on the 3rd loop. If you aren't racing res Run then keep it steady for all loops.

BOSTON MARATHON WEEKEND


Well, less than a week away. The hay is in the barn so let’s go do this!!
A couple of updates:
1. The bus departure has been moved up. WE WILL NOW DEPART DOWNTOWN BOSTON AT 8:15. Please get there on time. We don’t know how close to start we can get with the bus so we may drop wave one off and chill somewhere and then drop later waves off, depending on what everyone want to do. 
2. A map of the bus pickup location is below, but we are meeting at corner of Saint James Ave/Clarendon St (facing Dartmouth St pointing toward route 9 on ramp by Copley square)
2. Our reservations at Coppersmith is for 6:00pm on Monday evening. This should allow everyone time enough to finish the race, relax and then be ready to celebrate. 
3. Our contact person in Boston will be Dawn Schroeder. She will be the only one on the bus with a cell phone (that I know of). Please contact her if you have any problems race morning. 
4. Future updates will be here on this Blog (http://sbrunrace.blogspot.com). Please check in there on Sunday night or Monday morning to see if anything has changed.

Hi, It's wonderful seeing everyone get so fit and working hard to be their best. Race days will be fun....but legs should be heavy and tired at this point...make sure to take care of yourselves before, during and after these hard days with hydrating, eating/drinking enough carbs especially immediately after long runs and or hard efforts, sleep, stretching and/or massage.

See you tomorrow at the Vieja Valley Elementary School at 6:30am!
