November Updates

Even with the loss of darkness, we still are running. The good thing about Highland is that we have access to miles of trails that are lit and clear from snow. Yes, snow. We run through the winter on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 PM and Saturdays at 8:00 AM.  These are fun runs with a goal on maintaining a base over the winter months before spring training starts. Keep checking back on the blog to see what races are occurring or what events are happening in the area.

There are two different Life Time sponsored runs coming up - 

1. The Turkey Day 5K - www.lifetimefitness.com/events/turkey-day-5k/

This is a family event with the run starting at 8:20 AM and the walk at 8:30. There is also carnival rides for kids. A great Thanksgiving Day activity for the entire family.

2. The annual Reindeer Run 5K is another family-focused run or walk. The activities start at 9:30 AM at Lake Calhoun on the 6th of December. Check it out at www.lifetimefitness.com/events/reindeer-run/

FALL TRAINING - MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY ALL YEAR LONG!

Don't forget that even though the summer training is over, fall marathons are complete and all you can think about is recover and staying warm, our running program continues throughout the year. If you struggle every spring with the ramp-up period as the weather warms, you can keep strong by keeping that base through the fall and winter.

Marathons to start thinking about are the Phoenix Rock N Roll in January and Boston in April. There will be members from LTF that will be training for these programs. I will update you on what club (maybe Highland) the training program will be at for you to train with others.

Race time is still strong in the metro. Keep checking out upcoming races.

Meeting times are Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 PM and Saturdays at 8:00 AM.

See you on the trails,

Jeff
