Terry's Slacking Again

Terry is slacking again and hasn't posted yet...so it is another short post :)  This weekend is the Boilermaker, and all participants should be in their taper at this point.  I recommend keeping it to a 4 mile run.  If you want to do intervals, I would do no more than 4 quarter miles and don't max out your effort.  You want to make sure you let your body rest in anticipation of a hard run this weekend.

Next Tuesday will be a TRY outing, and we will not meet at the park.  Terry and I will be sending out a Facebook invite to TRY participants to get a head count.  If you aren't on Facebook and would like to attend, please give one of us your e-mail address, and we will send you the information.  This is not to exclude anyone but to protect our privacy.  Thanks!

Thank you, Kelly.  Below are my additions:
I'm underwhelmed by the people wanting to attend the Boilermaker Expo and the mini-Team Beef outing on Saturday.  Please let know if anyone else is joining in for that.  (Details are in last weeks post.)

Speaking of the Boilermaker, I don't know if there are any first timers doing it this year, but there are some people that are new to the TRY way of doing it, so please read last years pre-Boilermaker post (the second half specifically) for a good way to drive to avoid traffic and where to park and meet-up beforehand and where to meet-up afterwards.  (There are a couple good links in the post as well for extra information on hydration and for why to run tangents.)

Another piece of reading that is pretty good, but not great, is about running and racing in the summer heat.  The point about running by effort and not by pace, and the part titled "train like Macgyver" could be especially useful for our less experienced TRYers, but the whole thing is worth a skim for everyone.
