Austin Marathon 2/15/2009 - 26.2 miles is the goal.
You might have heard that we are going to start training to run the Seattle 1/2 Marathon in November and the Austin Marathon in February. We are following a couple of different training schedules that are 18 weeks long (6-weeks falls perfectly into Seattle 1/2), that means we start training this Monday, October 13th. We strongly believe the more people the better, so we'd love to have you and your friends join us.
Right now, we're going to run Monday nights (may change to Tuesday)--westside, Thursday nights--eastside, and Sunday morning (will change to Saturday at some point)--location will vary. The terrain will vary between road surface and soft surface.
Here is the plan for this week:
Monday, October 13, 6:45 PM--Green Lake Tennis Court parking lot (5900 block of West Green Lake Way--that is the large lot on the west side of the track across the street from the southwest corner of the lake)--distance 3 miles, with speed work if you want; we'll run the outer loop of the lake this time.
Thursday, October 16, 6:45 PM--SE 8th/I-405 Park and Ride--distance 5--6 mile, tempo run; we'll head down the sidewalk for about a 1/2 mile, then onto good soft trails. Yes, it will be dark, headlights and reflectors are strongly encouraged.
Sunday, October 19, 9 AM--Eastside--I'm planning on an 8-mile trail run. I'll send the exact location out later in the week.

Hello, fellow bloggers. Thanks for setting this up, Lee. Have a great run in Thursday. Looking forward to Sunday.
Great run tonight in the rain--it really wasn't bad and well worth it. Thanks to all of you who were able to make it. I'll see some of you Thursday.
