WEEK 17: THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Are you ready for the Nike Women’s Marathon Run Club to kick off another season? We have all the information you‘re going to need to start your training right! Every Tuesday the blog will be updated with the course map for the weekend and a training tip from our coach.
This weekend marks the first training run for the Nike Women’s Marathon Run Club 2009 and we are kicking it off with a two mile run! The first two miles will be a great way for our returners and advanced runners to get back into the swing of things, while giving our new and first time runners a chance to establish their pace group.
This, and every weekend, our post run refreshments and snacks will be provided by Safeway. For kick off weekend, we also have Pop Chips who will be providing a variety of flavors, and Yes To Carrots which is an organic skin care product.
