Week of July 20, 2020

7/19/2020

Hi, everyone,
 
I’m including a video, so I’ll keep this brief.
https://youtu.be/U21_xkXfhXc

 My main message this week is to respect and partner with this relentless heat by slowing it way down, getting out extra early (like 5:30) and stay on top of your refueling!

 And I think it’s really great that many of you are taking a break from “training hard for a race or races” and are simply just getting out for some relaxed weekly AHR miles during this unique time. As long as you keep moving, I’m happy! Plus, AHR miles are a great way of building your aerobic foundation. 

Thanks to Jen H. for compiling all of the results you’ve sent from the Spring Triple Crown. Please send her your times, if you haven’t already done so (jhochrein@gmail.com).

And a huge thanks to Leah and Harry for all their volunteer help with getting the word out to you each week. 

Happy 60th to Jerri Emm today! Welcome to our ever-growing “60+ Group”! And Happy Birthdays to Jane J. (Monday), Mike S. (Tuesday), Tammy M. (Wednesday) and Jeremy (Wednesday).  

Hope you get to watch the video. If not, then I hope to see you in your hip looking masks sometime this week. Keep cool by being smart and chilling with your paces!
