Closing in on the big day.  We are officially starting to taper our mileage.  If you begin to feel a little more energetic than normal, keep a bottle on it.  This is not a good time to take up a new sport or do a lot of jumping and sprinting out of the ordinary. 

At the same time we do not want to completely stop training.  We want to keep all of the wonderful adaptations that our bodies have made during this program.  If we back off of our training too much we could make race day all that much more of a challenge.

Meeting Groups
These are the days and times and places that we’ll be giving these group workout options.
