____________________________________________

We're really moving along with our training. This is the last full week before La Jolla and if you are doing the Rock N Roll Full, you have noticed that the mileage has started to creep up. Full Marathoners should hold on tight because we have some big miles in-store over the next few weeks. It's going to be fun!  

Social Event Saturday - Lamplighter

We have another social event set for this Saturday at the Lamplighter. You know the drill, everyone is welcome to come and looking forward to hanging out with everyone. See you at 8:15pm

Trolley Run Details:

We have another new run planned this week and I am excited to get your feedback. In short, we are meeting in Old Town and riding the trolley down to Seaport Village and running back. Sound's easy, right?!

This is what you need to know:

You will need to purchase a one-way ticket for the trolley on the Green Line. It's $2.00 if you have a compass card, and if not, you will need to purchase a compass card for $2.50. I recommend arriving early so you have time to get everything situated. I heard you could download the app and do it that way too but I haven't figured it out yet.

We are meeting at the Trolley Platform located at 4005 Taylor Street San Diego CA  at 6:15PM sharp. Parking is all over the place, but I recommend you park directly across the platform in the trolley parking lot. 

Trolley Schedule:

Departs: Old Town Transit Station / Trolley Leaves at 6:22 pm

Arrives: Seaport Village Station at 6:33 pm

We will do a quick warm-up at the trolley stop and you will be on your way. It’s a good idea to bring water with you on this run. 

**You can leave your keys and jackets at the truck but don't take them with you on the trolley.  

Weekend Recap

We want to send out a BIG congratulation to everyone that did Ragnar and the Beach & Bay Half Marathon this weekend! Both are awesome events. Great job everyone! 

Movie Night and Pasta Dinner 4/26

We have our pasta dinner and movie night set for Friday 4/26. If you have not got your ticket yet please do so as we need to have a minimum of 20 people signed up if we are going to do it. Details: CLICK

RnR Awards Dinner - May 31 

I wanted to put it out that we are looking for a community room to host our 2019 awards ceremony at. The event will be on May 31, 2019 at 6:15am. Ideally, we would like to be in the downtown area because that is where the expo is at but we can be flexible. If you have a connection someplace please let me know. Thank you for your support.

RECOVERY?

Yes, for all of you!!!! And after 3 weeks straight of hill training, plus a few rough long runs . . . IT’S TIME FOR SOME RECOVERY!!  

THIS WEEK’S TRAINING

As I mentioned above, we are in a recovery week. In regards to training, means that your overall weekly mileage will be less and we will not be doing any specialty runs or workouts. It is designed to give your body and mind a rest we have been pounding the pavement pretty hard recently.  Some notable items for each group:

  • Run/Walkers (ALL) – No change this week.  LONG run will be DOWN to 100/120.
  • Intermediate RnR HALF – No changes to mid-week runs. Long run will be DOWN to 9-10 mi.
  • Intermediate LJ Half – Race week / Taper week.
  • Intermediate FULL – No changes to mid-week runs. Long run will be DOWN to 11-12 mi.
  • Advanced Runners­­­­ – No changes to mid-week runs. Long run will be DOWN to 15-16 mi.

    Detailed Meeting Locations

    This is where we will meet on Tuesday and/or Saturday. Don’t get lost :)

     

    Trolley Run Details:

     Trolley Platform located at 4005 Taylor Street San Diego CA  at 6:15PM sharp. Parking is all over the place, but I recommend you park directly across the platform in the trolley parking lot. 

    Coronado, Tidelands Park

    2099 Mullinex Dr, Coronado, CA 92118

    Coming from San Diego over Coronado Bridge, stay in far right lane, exit Glorietta Blvd, right onto Mullinex into park, all the way to end.  We're in the far East end of the park, along the water's edge, towards the bridge.  There are restrooms and water fountains.

    *This is a great run, but a busy area and limited parking.  Tidelands park can be a madhouse on Saturday mornings as there are ball fields out there and the Saturday morning soccer moms can be out in force.  If you’re not “early”, plan to park out on Mullinex Rd, or possibly even further – meaning you could be faced with a good hike, so try to get there earlier than normal.
