FRIENDS IN TRAINING starts Oct 2nd!

THE GROUP
Lindsey, Hilary, Kristen, Marla + 1, Linda & Kim
We meet the days the schedule to the right says for long runs. Usually on Saturday. I changed the weekend long run occasionally for Holidays and days that I work Saturdays (to Sundays) but you are welcome to run the Saturdays without me - just let me know so I will not be expecting you.

MEETING TIME IS 7 a.m.
Always let me know that Friday if you are coming so we will wait for you - however, the latest we wait is 7:15. It gets annoying when it is cold to stand around. If we decide it is too hot to run at 7 once we get into long runs we can change the time.

DISTANCES
As we go along if we want to add some distance (example - week 3 we are feeling good and want to do 4 instead of 3) we can - this is group input and we will decide as a such. However - we will not go down in mileage, as that would be detrimental to us. CURRENT PLANNED DISTANCES ARE POSTED HERE – LOOK RIGHT.

ROUTES
In the beginning on short runs (3 miles) we will run the loop. I know some routes from Houston Fit and Team In Training once we get up in mileage. I think most of you have done Houston Fit before and I am up to route suggestions. gain - group effort.

There is a great site for mapping routes (http://www.usatf.org/routes/), and I have done all the runs and have for each distance mapped out. I generally keep them up Allen Parkway or out Woodway towards Tanglewood. If they get too complicated someone (me) may get lost! You can click on the link to see the routes we will be running. There are options for a couple of the mileages, we will pick before the Saturday so we will know where we are going beforehand. Open to suggested routes! ROUTES will be in a different Posting (called RUNNING ROUTES) so you can refer back to it easily in the future.

Go Friends!
