    ____________________________________________

    Well Tuesday was kind of crazy with all the parking stuff. I appreciate everyone being flexible as you know from time to time this stuff comes up where we have to make accommodations on the fly. Thank you again for being awesome.  

    Now let’s talk about this weekend long run, as discussed we will not being doing the train run this weekend as Amtrack has made some changes in their schedule due to covid and currently not providing an early morning train. With that we are going to still run in Solana beach and do an out and back from  Fletcher Cove. This is a long run and will have aid station out but for this one you might want to consider bring a few bucks with in incase you need additional aid along the way. There are a lot of convince stores along the way that you could stop in if needed. It’s going to be a great run along the coast but plan on it to be warm and prepare your hydration plan in advance.   

    Rest up tonight we have our 2nd longest run set for this this weekend. You are going to do great.

    Need Help - Oct 2nd 

    Well I need your help. I don't miss many runs but occasionally something comes up that will take me out of town on a day we are set to run and this very situation is presenting itself on Saturday Oct 2nd. Coach Yayoi will be onsite to lead the group but looking for 1 or 2 volunteers that might be able to help me out that day. I can discuss with you in more detail what will be required but above a all other things you will need to make a commitment to be at the run on Saturday Oct 2nd. If you think you will be around that day and wouldn't mind helping out please approach me on Tuesday or Saturday to discuss. Your help would very much be appreciated and there might be something in it for you as well.

    Thank you in advance for helping out. 

    It’s Getting Dark (Bring a Headlamp)

    Who noticed how dark it was on last week’s run? Most of the remaining runs will be on pathways that have street lights but there is often dark spots along the way. If you have one I would encourage you to start bring your headlamp with you on these Tuesday runs. Your safety is important and bringing a headlamp with you is the best way to prevent a trip and fall on these runs. Be Safe out there.

    Shirt Delay

    I heard from the printer last week that there are some issue sourcing the blank shirt for this season, they have assured me we will have them in a few more week but they are taking longer than planned. I am keeping an eye on this and will let you know if anything changes. I should have a new delivery date sometime this week.
