Galveston 1/2 & Full Marathon - Training Group

Let me know before October 1st if you want to participate in half-marathon training!
I do not want to keep bugging with emails so check my blog for updates on this if you are interested - the schedule is on there and I will post updates of the routes, any changes in time, etc. as we go along.

Galveston 1/2 & Full Marathon - Training Group:
PREVIOUS EMAIL
If you were not able to get in Houston and want to party (sort of) your way through December, there is a new Mardi Gras Full and Half Marathon in Galveston - February 20th!
Skittles friend through Tri On The Run are managing it so should be a great event!

We could do Saturday Group training runs together and I have some good, long routes I got from HFit and TNT that we can run once we start getting up in mileage.

I know some of you are faster than others - I am super slow so if you are a beginner no worries. If you just want to give it a try in the beginning to see how it goes - feel free! I just do not want to run in one of those Houston Fit monster groups, and I do not want to raise any money this time. I just want some folks to run with!

I have attached a training schedule. I know some of the Saturdays I work so changed long run to Sundays, and adjusted for Christmas and New years, but you can miss group runs and do some on your own - they just keep us motivated and keep me getting up in the mornings! And I may be out of town Oct 2nd but you can run the loop without me the first week. :)
We will not start training until early October so you have time if you want to start building up to 3 now (those that are not already.) If you have friends that want to do it they are welcome to do the training with us!
