Saturday Miles (4.26.25)!
Hello,
Happy Friday!!
I am so sorry for emailing so late… It's been quite the
day. Good Luck to Dave at
Seneca 7 on Sunday! I hope you have a blast, and that the weather
cooperates, this year! If you’re running a different race this weekend (perhaps
Step-up for Kids?), please let us know so we can send you luck, too!
We are meeting at the playground entrance of the Parkway tomorrow, ready to start our warmups by 8am! It should
be warm (real feel in the 50’s!), humid, and probably a little rainy… so dress
accordingly. Because you still sweat even when it rains, you should plan to carry water/hydration
with you during the run– especially if you are running more than 3 miles.
We are planning for the following mileage this weekend:
3.5 miles: Mountain Goat Relay
6 miles: Mountain Goat full
8.5-9 miles: Shipyard Half
12 miles: Buffalo Half
You can find links for the 3.5- and 6-mile routes below,
along with turn-by-turn directions. Please let me know if you cannot open any
of the links and I’ll see what I can do to fix that for you.

FOR YOU 8.5 TO
9 MILERS: you
can follow the 6-mile route, instead of looping around at the bathroom loop
(5ish mile mark), continue running out on the Parkway. Looping around at the
Willow Bay loop should give you 8.5 miles.

Meet at the playground entrance of OLP at 5:45pm. Those
of you running Mountain Goat will have a taper workout while everyone else will
have a speed workout.

HOH TEAM
SHIRTS:
If you ordered a shirt, I am hoping to have them available
by Tuesday’s workout.
MEET OUR
ATHLETE SPOTLIGHTS:
I hope you have enjoyed reading these as much as I have
enjoyed writing them! There are a few questionnaires I’ve sent but have not
received responses for… if
you have not returned yours, please do, so I can get them posted 😊 If you have not received one yet, keep an eye on your
inbox as I am planning to send the last round out by the end of the weekend.
Please make sure you continue to hydrate this evening
and that you are feeding your body enough carb-rich (with some proteins)
calories ahead of tomorrow’s run, as these nutrients will help your body
sustain the energy needed to perform your best.
Please enjoy the rest of your evening and I cannot wait
to see you tomorrow!
