The Costume Run!

15 weeks, and over 250 miles of training later… what’s 8 (or 12) miles, right? At the end of every season, the week before the first big race, our team participates in a costume run. Yes, it’s this Sunday. Be creative, don’t be afraid, and have some fun! When are you ever going to have an opportunity to run along the beach, dressed up as Indiana Jones, a cheerleader, or Superman? Some people even run the full 26.2 marathon in costume!

Need more ideas?

See you on Sunday dressed up!

Congratulations on a very successful week 14 run! Up to 20 miles, depending on the event, but everyone finished with a smile! We were lucky to have the morning overcast, which was exactly how San Diego was the past few years I was there (you never know though!). You’re all doing great and now marks taper time for most of you! Please read Coach’s e-mail as it contains VERY important information on what to do now until raceday.

For the Alaska and Seattle runners, next week… 20 miles!

I swear that evil squirrel was throwing things at us at the water stop! Besides a squirrel and a man with a guitar walking by singing me a song he wrote the night before (awkward moment), it was a good run for everyone. Overcast with a nice breeze, we ran up to 12 miles going north on Ocean all the way up San Vicente to 26th (depending on your event) and back. Go TEAM!
