Greetings, to you my wonderful athletes!

I’m hoping you’re all safely managing and enjoying your running as we make our way through this long stretch of heat. You’re probably tired of me reminding you to slow down but, other than having you start you runs extra early, it’s the single best way to partner with this challenging weather. 

By now many of you will have seen our announcement regarding this year’s Women’s Four Miler. We’re very excited about hosting this special event, in a very safe manner, over the beautiful grass paths of Foxfield and are hoping many of you will reserve a time to come walk or run this magnificent property for the first time. And, if all goes well with this new protocol, we will most likely have the Men’s Four Miler on the same course later this fall.

Many of you clocked excellent mile times over the past few months with Adrian’s Mile Club and are to be congratulated for your speedy performances. Way to go!

And speaking of fast times, Captain Harry celebrated his retirement by racing a fast 5K in Sugar Hollow early Saturday morning as he clocked a super impressive 21:24 (6:53 pace). He’s not ready for that rocking chair yet! 

Happy Birthdays to Rick K. and Bronwyn (today) and Jason B. (Wednesday)!

Stop by or call with any questions or injury issues. I’m always happy to help.
I miss seeing you each and every Wednesday morning!  

Happy Running, 
Coach Mark
