WEEK 16 – Saturday – 11/05/16

Hi Y’all,

CONGRATS to all the Houston Half folks last week…looked like PR CITY! Did you even realize how amazing you are?!? Now for this week, we are on a dip…only to ramp it back up next week. Get ready.

They say the neon lights are bright…on BROADWAY! ?

Best of luck to our {already lucky} dozen headed North for the New York City Marathon! Brandi, Carrie, Melanie, Allison, Amy, Chad, Sarah, Kasey, Russel, Katie, Courtney and Pierre…We will be cheering for you from the 77584 like nobody’s business. And stalking you, because that’s what runners do! ENJOY EVERY MINUTE! Flood our FB page with all your fun, so we can all go register for the lottery for next year!

PARR Hats and Visors are in….BUT

You gotta go get them from David at Wild Pear. He’s only holding those that asked for them to be reserved until Friday, then they will be released to whoever shows up first on Saturday! Snatch ‘em up quick, so he’ll go find other cool stuff for us!

PARR Shoe Tags

We will have PARR Shoe Tags at the run this weekend. These are PARR Orange and are used to have your name/emergency contact on them! (A few years ago, we had color-coded the groups with shoe tags…but this group is as group-jumpy as they come…so we decided on ALL ORANGE! Just didn’t want you old-timers to get confused!) If you don’t get one this weekend, just stop by Wild Pear and ask David for one, they are free!

This week

Easy, peasy week, with some quick feet at the end. We are starting from TURNER this week, with the run being a long steady run at FM+1-1.5min or HM+1-1.5min….and the last 2 MILES AT GOAL PACE. So…if you’re not doing intervals, not a lot of math. IF you are doing intervals, then you want your whilst running pace during the intervals of those last 2 miles to be about FM-30sec or HM-30sec (that will average your pace with the walk breaks to your FM or HM pace)

Full Marathon5:00AM – 16 Miles http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/943682629/

Half Marathon5:45AM – 9 Miles http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/943684187/

OK y’all, have a great weekend!
