Cap 10K or Bust!

A run in the rain. I was feeling pretty wimpy today. I really wasn't looking forward to the rain but I actually thought it was nice. Call me crazy...or a running nerd as I sometimes refer to myself.

We talked a lot in class today...that is good. We are tapering before the race and some light exercise and running is just what we need today. Our bodies need a little "rest". Make sure you are getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep this week and drink that water.

The Finish Line program could change and you could see some new stuff in the future. Ill keep everyone posted even if you don't sign up again. Thank you again for all the support. If you plan to take the next round please sign up before Friday. You do not have to run the Chuy's Hot to Trot. For those of you wanting to run more mileage but still want to take the class...I will make a special schedule to fit your running needs. For those of you not signing up...its been a real pleasure. I have enjoyed every minute and I'm so happy to have had the chance to meet you all. Its been a lot of fun for me. I can't thank you enough.

On Thursday we will meet at the track again. We will run our 1 mile, fill out surveys, and talk about the race. I would like to also get some pictures. IMPORTANT - IF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THE WORKOUTS AND RUNNING ACCORDING TO YOUR SCHEDULE YOU SHOULD SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR TIME. YOU CAN COMPARE THE 1ST TIME TO THE LAST. DON'T EXPECT MINUTES...IT WILL BE IN SECONDS.

RACE STUFF
1. Packet Pickup is Friday and Saturday. Check out the website for details or locate your registration confirmation sheet. If you don't have this, make sure you take your DL with you to pickup your packet.

2. For those that wish to carpool....we will do so. I don't know how many I can take. If I take my van I can fit 5 or 6. If I drive the jeep I can take 3. Here is a time line if you plan to car pool....

Arrive at YMCA 7:00am
Leave no later than 7:15am
Arrive and park around 8:00am ish
Potty, warm up... line up around 8:30am
Timed race starts at 8:45am
Fun Run Starts at 9:00am

The start line is on Congress at the bridge headed towards the capitol.

3. After the race we can plan to meet at the massage tent. Its always located in the same place...Bobby from the YMCA is always working there. Just walk around till you find it. Its not that hard....it located at the "back" (that doesn't really make sense but you will find it)

5. For those that would like to celebrate after the race we will head over to the Hula Hut for an early lunch. They open at 11am. I suspect that everyone doing the timed run will be done by 10:15am. If you think it will take you longer than that let me know. We will talk about this on Thursday. There may be people who want to carpool but don't want to eat. We will get it all worked out.

I will go over a list of things about the race and other things on Thursday. Please try to make this last meeting.

I talked about this today.....For those interested I take the supplement L-Glutamine. There is information about it all over the web. This is the link to the site I read

Remember everyone is different. Just because it works for me doesn't mean you should take it or that it will work for you. I can only tell you from my experience.

Happy Running, Victoria
