Hi Y’all, Kaylin here.
It’s finally here!!!….the trifecta of the season – the last long run of this training season, the PARRty and taper!! You’ve put in all the hard work and it’s time to knock out your last long run (which will be on SUNDAY this week!!!! I know, right?? )
In this episode:
- SUNDAY Race Rehearsal Details: #PARRThisWeek
- PARRty Details: #PARRty
On behalf of Aimee Galley, Andrea Goodwin, Caroline Allbritton and myself, I want to say thank you from the bottom of our sincere, orange PARR hearts for making this season so great ? From the new friendships, to new experiences, new routes (!), field trips, selfies (looooots of selfies!), birthday runs, track days, taco runs, pj runs, outdoor movies, knowledgeable speakers, and allllllllll kinds of races……we’ve had a fun-packed busy season! Thank you to everyone who volunteered throughout the season – the PARR Water team, the Pace Group leaders, the New Member Ambassadors, the PARRty Planners and the Taco and Chocolate Milk Runners – we simply cannot do everything we do without you! With over 360 members, that’s a LOT of people to take care of, and we’re ALL volunteers here (yes, we have day-jobs ?) so we are soooo appreciative of all of the help! Thank you to our BFFs over at Wild Pear – huge shout out to David Rosenthal and his crew – we are partners in crime on this running thang, and you help us out in so many ways from providing a venue for all of our presentations, clothing us in as much orange as money can buy, providing storage for the Water Crew, even lending us your parking lot and electricity to host our first-ever movie night ? OOOH and you cooked us PANCAKES!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! ?
Not to skip ahead, but at some point after our “big race” on Sunday, January 19th, you’ll hear from us about “off season”……more on that LATER!!! ? For now, see below on the two upcoming events this week!
#PARRThisWeek
Scheduled SUNDAY January 12, 2020 Run Details – Start at Wild Pear
Use this run as a RACE REHEARSAL. We’re starting later trying to mirror the race start time on the 19th. Try out that outfit you plan to race in! Do your pre-race rituals. Even if you do not fully use all of your planned race-day nutrition (since the distance we are running Sunday is not race distance), practice having it all with you! You might be surprised what it feels like to carry all of your nutrition for the whole race ? (Might discover some new chaffing….which is always good to know about BEFORE the race so you can glide it up on race day!!)
