Current Weekly Message

Greetings, my athletes and friends!

From the bottom of my heart I thank each of you who contributed to that most generous gift you bestowed to me last Wednesday! That was so very knd of the 60 of you who donated and it truly meant the world to both Cynthia and I. We will be using it very shortly, as we're heeded on vacation for a few weeks, starting this Saturday.

I'm sorry to be getting this message to you so late. Jam packed Sunday, starting with the BB Mile and simply never had a break to sit down and get your workouts together for this week.

Speaking of the BB Mile, we had great performances from several of our crew including, Ian (5:10), Maria (5:26), Steve L (5:27), Alex (5:41), Fran (6:23), Megan (6:44), Vicki (6:53), Leah (7:06), Heather (7:07), Larry (7:16) and Jeffrey (8:00). Way to go! And a big thanks to Binyong and David for helping read splits!

-Please try your best to keep the brunt of your weekly miles as slow as it takes to keep your heart rate in the 135-145 range. You will probably need to slow down your pace in this heat, to keep it in that comfort range.
-Important: Get in touch with me within 24 hours of a new pain cropping up on one side of your body!
​
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you for the dreaded two mile time trial this Wednesday morning! Cheers, Mark 434-962-1694 (text)
