And congrats to Audrey and Nicole and to their race committee (Jim B., Ellen, Lisa, Dennis and others) for organizing one dandy of an event! And check out Rachel‘s wonderful article in today’s Daily Progress. This is a break week for our Speedsters, so I’ve got some fun team running games planned for Wednesday. I do hope you will join me for this. Cynthia and I will be heading off for our walk across England next Sunday (9/8). This is a longtime dream come true and it also represents our longest vacation (3 weeks) of our 39-year marriage. So, because we’ll be off the grid from 9/8-9/28, I’d love to be able to answer any training questions you might have, or anticipate having) sometime this week, before we go. After that (until late September) my son, Alec, who is an outstanding coach, or Captain Harry will be your go-to experts. I will send all of your workouts to Harry and Leah before I go and they will continue to email them out to you, on a weekly basis on Sundays, as usual. I hope to see or hear from you this week. I continue to be in awe of the way you all click as a group. Thanks for treating me to such a special experience as your coach. Mark 434-293-3367 434-962-1694 (text) WEEK of SEPTEMBER 2 *Speedsters = Recovery week! IMPORTANT: This is our annual break time, when, I like to give you a small break in the fast action, before we fire things back up again for the fall push.

So, please drop your weekly mileage and please come join us this Wednesday for some fun “running games”! Pool miles count!
