Thursday Run - 6 miles and a full moon

Hopefully the storms will pass and we'll have a lovely (and dry) run this Thursday, lit by moonlight and city light. Popular vote has chosen Lake Union as our 6-mile run. We'll meet at 6:45 PM in the parking lot across from the Marriott Courtyard on the SW side of Lake Union. Hope that makes sense. See you Thursday! Still working on Saturday's location for our 12-mile run. Stay tuned...

So, Andrew...

(excuse the public post, everyone, I don't have an email address for Andrew) Is it Mark Terwilliger that you know/knew at K2? That's a Mark that came to mind after we chatted on Saturday's run...

Monday's run

Hi all,

It's my turn to host the training week. Is this the schedule we are following? http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/novices2.htm

I've had out of town guests all week so have done no research on Thurs/Sat runs at this point, so I'm open to suggestions. For Monday the 10th, let's meet at the Green lake tennis courts at 6:45 PM as usual. I'm thinking 3 1-mile repeats at 1 min faster than anticipated marathon pace (plus warm up and cool down). I'm guessing the track will be a big mud bog, so we'll most likely run along the east side of the lake up to the Starbucks corner and back.

See you Thurdsay,

11 miles on Friday, November 7

Hello, mighty Team Austin! I will be out of town in Las Vegas next weekend and am planning on doing my longer weekend run (11 miles) on Friday morning. Anyone interested in running around 8:30 or 9am on Friday?

January 25 Run In Port Ludlow

Hello,

As many of you know, I am once again signed up to do the Victoria Half Iron Triathlon with Team in Training. As you also know, this requires me to fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I am trying to be a bit more creative with my fundraising this year so I came up with the idea that I would fund raise by staging a long run followed by a meal for the "Look Out Austin Here We Come" group.

Here is the plan. For your long run on January 25, 2009 you would travel to my beach house in Port Ludlow Washington. I will mark out a run at the distance or distances that each of you wish to run. I will provide support along the route including water stops. At the end everyone can shower and then my family and I will prepare and serve a meal (menu has not been decided yet).

If anyone wants to stay the night they are welcome, the Olympic penninsula is fun to explore including Port Townsend. I will provide directions when it is closer to January 25 but if you live in the South end you can get to Port Ludlow in 1 hour 45 minutes. From Seattle you should probably count on 2 hours. Start time is negotiable so feel free to think about it as a group.

If you decide to participate in this fun outing I am asking for a minimum donation of $50.00 to my TNT fundraising. And for the first 8 particpants that contribute Dennis and I will pick you up at the Kingston Ferry terminal so you do not have to drive on the Ferry and worry about lines.

We look forward to your participation. Donations can be made at http://pages.teamintraining.org/wa/nbhtri09/knyrop. And please respond to this blog or send an email to me at nyrop.karin@gmail.com to let me know if you will be participating.

Go Team!!
