Dear Beginners,

For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a good holiday!  I am back now, and really looking forward to running with you on Thursday.  Betsy and Bonnie will not be with us, but Jane Novak and one other ‘guest coach’ will be there to help.  I’m excited to show you all off and show them how far you have come along!  This week we will be running two 25 minute intervals with a short walking break in between.  I had initially planned a destination run, but I think I will leave that for next week, and we will run a loop back to SJW, so that you can pick up your t-shirts and pay the money that is due for race registration (for those who are planning to go to Germany for the half).

Our first 25 minutes will mainly be along the canal, where as you know, there will be no street crossings.  Feel free to slow down your pace should you feel tired.  Remember, these long runs should be at a comfortable pace.  Please don’t be tempted to walk until we reach our walking break – if you feel tired, just slow down.

See you Thursday,
