I hope you had fun this morning. I know that for some of you, the program can be a bit daunting. We're here for you every step of the way. We (the Pinks) are available for your questions, concerns, parties....
For the training program to truly work, you'll need to get in some runs/walks during the week. If you don't have anyone to do that with, well, now you do.
We call them Rookie Runs, but they are for all participants. We have a ton of times and places for your convenience. All of the rookie runs are for all levels. We only ask that kids be accompanied by an adult.
If you are an early bird (or work late), meet us at the UVA track on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:30. Uh, yes, the sun is up at that time. I wasn't a morning person until I started running. Beat the heat, join us in the morning. Pink Pam, Frances and the early-bird Pinks will be happy to see you.
If you can't make the morning runs, no problem. Monday and Wednesday night at 6, meet at Riverview park. There is a map in your notebook if you're not familiar with the greenbelt area. Or you can email me, and I will get you connected with Rocket (who has more energy than anyone I know) and the Greenie Pinks.
If the track at UVA is easier for you get to, then meet Wednesday at 6. Park at U-Hall, just like on Saturday.
"But Deb, I live in Fluvanna or Madison and gas is expensive." We got you covered.
At Lake Monticello, Theresa (who has as much energy as Rocket) and a wonderful group of Pinks will be at Bunker Ball Field on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:15 . AND, they will be at Jefferson Centre parking lot (just outside of Turkey Sag gate) on Monday and Wednesday nights at 6.
Madison County, you all start on next Saturday, the 28th at Madison County High School at 7am.
Your runs will be posted on http://www.mapyrun.com/.
I know this is a lot, but you only have to run twice during the week and once on Saturday. If any of this is confusing, you have any questions, or want to get in touch with a group leader, post a comment here or email me at w4mtpblog@gmail.com
It's going to be a great summer.

Will there be rookie runs for people that live in Greene or towards Forest Lakes?
The demand is great, so we're getting that together. You can email w4mtpbog@gmail.com and I'll forward your info to the right Pink.
How long do the 0630 one's last? I have a time crunch in the A.M.(doesn't everybody!) but still want to do them.
As the summer progresses and the distances increase, it will obviously take longer. We have a quick chat, do a warm-up lap, then run, one lap cool-down and then stretch. If you can't stay for the stretching (or all of it), not a problem.
Early on, I think you can safely be done by 7:15....add on miles, add on time. I'm usually out by 7:45 at the latest. And that is late in the season.
