Gobbler Grind Marathon

Hello everyone...

I just wanted to mention a great, not to mention local, option for a late-season event, the Gobbler Grind Marathon.  There are three distances, including a 5K, half-marathon, and full marathon.  It takes place on Sunday, November 9 at Corporate Woods in Overland Park, Kansas.

Even better, one of our group members passed along a handy registration code:

LABOROFLOVE

Note the code is valid only through Labor Day.

Ugh...

It has obviously been several weeks since my last post to the blog.  There have been some major challenges in my work, not to mention I have been sidelined by a foot injury since my race in May.

I fear I am becoming nothing more than a broken record, but I apologize (again!) for the lack of activity on the blog.  I am trying to get back on track so I appreciate your patience.  With that said, I welcome any help from others, be it scheduling group runs, contributing to the blog, or anything else.  As I've said before, this is not solely my blog...I want everyone to feel free to use it for their needs.

I figure the best way to get things up-and-running again is to offer a Workout of the Season Week:

Warm-up:  5 minute brisk walk or jog

Main Set:  3 rounds of the following:

  • 10 minutes at intensity of 7/10
  • 2 minutes recovery (easy walk or jog)

Cool Down:  5 minute walk or easy jog
