Warm Weather Tips & Modified Schedule

I'm not sure the weather from week to week can get any more extreme, but here we are with the forecast showing 70's for most of the week. On that note, make sure to hydrate, especially if you are running outdoors. You should have about 3 quarts of water/day; and for every caffeinated drink, you will need to drink another 8 oz to make up for the dehydration that those drinks cause. If you are bad about drinking water, treat yourself to a fancy new water bottle and take it with you wherever you go.

Now go out, enjoy this beautiful weather and hope to see you in a session this week.

Thankful for the sun today.

After running a marathon in a 55 degree rainy thunderstorm, today's sun was such a relief and a wonderful environment for my day of rest. Part of my relaxing came in the form of a Yoga class at my local gym. It was just what I needed to stretch out my achey body after so much running.

At the end of the class, my instructor reminded us to be thankful for all the "little blessings" in our lives: fresh water in our taps, a roof over our heads to shield us from all this rain... It was a wonderful reminder of the good lives that we live. So, when you can, take a moment to be thankful for your own "little blessings". Have a great week.

Running on the mind...

Hello,

6 days until I run the LA Marathon and it's been quite a training experience. I've done long runs, short runs, fast runs, sprints, hills and I have to say I have totally met my running quote in the past 12 weeks. Hope it doesn't rain on Sunday. Yipe!

On the note of running, a few of you have asked about help for your own running goals. If you are interested in getting a group together to work on improving your running, let me know and I can try to get a group together that can meet at convenient times.

Hope you can make it to a session this week. Schedule is below. See you soon!

Core Group Sessions: Please email me to save your spot. All sessions this week continuing at South Park.

Tuesday: 9:30a All Levels
Wednesday: NO SESSION. (Apologies, as I have a scheduling conflict on that day).
Thursday: 9:30a All Levels
Friday: 9:00a Int/Adv Level
Saturday: 8:00a All Levels.

As usual, bring a friend to try their 1st session for free.

Have a great week!

Workouts this week & 5 Nutrients that You're Not Getting (from More Magazine)

This week, I am my own test case for the benefits of a weekly routine of Core workouts. I just completed a long run and compared to last week's long run, I feel great! Last week after a reduced workout routine, I suffered on my long run; this week after getting back into the groove of working out my core, I felt strong. So make a routine of working out your core at least twice a week as it makes such a difference in all of your other workouts (especially Cardio).

I also grabbed a good article from More that is a quick reminder of all the nutrients that we should be taking in. I know I forget so this little reminder helps me for my grocery shopping this week. Hope it's helpful to you too.

This week's schedule is below. Hope to see you soon.
