April 25 Race

One of our members recommended a race in April to benefit the SPCA. Here are the details. I look forward to seeing you all Saturday.

Susan Karakawa, an animal lover, has organized a race at Ridley Creek State Park on April 25, 2009. All proceeds will benefit the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Etana Fund, which supports our Humane Law Enforcement program. She’s put together a website that provides race details and will (after today) feature successful pit rescue stories. (She is particularly concerned with dogfighting – the Etana Fund helps us combat dogfighting.) http://www.loversnotfighterscharityrace.com/Race_Information.php

March 28th Practice

Hey All,

This is a friendly reminder that practice this Saturday is at 10 a.m. at Lloyd Hall. Both groups are running 6 miles.

The following week we will move to a new location. Start thinking about where you would like to go: Valley Forge? Belmont Plateau? Wissahickon?

Onward!

March 21 Practice

What a great run Saturday! For some folks that was the longest they've run and it looked like everyone was in good shape & running strong. I'm happy with our progress so far and grateful to report we're injury free, minus some aches, pains and the occasional numb foot. Stay persistent in your weekly trainings so the long runs continue to be successful.

This is also a friendly reminder that practice is Saturday 3/21 at 10 a.m. at Lloyd Hall. We'll be running 4 or 8 miles depending on your training schedule.

Heart Power

"A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done. Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It's something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success."

- Vince Lombardi

9am on March 14

Would anyone like to join me an hour earlier (at 9am instead of 10am) for this Saturday's practice in front of Llyod Hall to do a 7 miler? The reason for this is because I have to be ready by 12 for the Erin Express, I need to give myself some time to get back home, shower, and then drink like a crazy Irish-man!

Center City Running Buddy?

Anyone in Center City looking for a running buddy?
Call me @ 215.939.4801 if you want to run sometime.
Thanks!

March 14 Practice

Howdy folks just a friendly reminder that we're meeting at Lloyd Hall this Saturday, 3/14 at 10 a.m. Basic trainers are running 5 miles and those on the advanced be running 7. Try to drink a liter of water Friday night & be drinkin' and stretchin' the rest of this week. Great practice Saturday!

center city

i live in center city (queen's village) and am interested in running together with some other members either wednesday or thursday evening. i usually cannot make it before 7.30-8.00 since i commute to/from princeton. but with the days getting longer, that should become less of a problem.

Get Your Rear in Gear Race

Cross-training?

Hi All:

Coach Pete, thanks for the training schedules. They look great and will be a huge help!

Could anyone recommend training for my core that won't leave me feeling drained for our runs? I am being cautious and sticking with the basic training because this is my first time running, but I think that I could add a bit more to my gym workouts and routine, esp. if it's beneficial for running.

I won't forget to stretch!
