Hello Runners,
Contents:
1) Attendance
2) Cross-training
3) Team run on Sunday November 8
4) LA Marathon
1) Attendance at Sunday runs: If you have missed two Sunday runs already this semester you are risking your membership with the team.
We certainly don't want to kick people off, but participation in the Sunday runs is an important part of being on the team, not to mention the most critical part of training for the marathon - without the long runs you will probably get hurt as the miles increase and will have difficulty completing a marathon.
If you have missed several Sunday runs either, 1) start showing up, or 2) speak with a captain to let them know what's up and that you still want to train with the team.
2) Cross-training will be happening on Friday (11/6). We will meet at 7:05 am ON CROMWELL FIELD - expect the whole session to be about 40 minutes.
We'll be trying some new stuff, so come if you can
Another option for cross-training is a spinning class; team captain Evan Snyder leads one at 5:30 on Friday evenings in the Robinson Fitness Room at the Lyon Center, there are other classes also run through Rec. Sports.
3) Team Run on Sunday (11/8):
We will be running at Dockweiler Beach in El Segundo - there will options of 6, 7, and 8 miles, here's the map:
http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/ca/el%20segundo/608125737235666149
* for 6 miles, turn around at 23rd Street
* for 7 miles, at the first pier
* for 8 miles, at the steps
We'll go over directions again before we start.
** Bring a jacket and long pants, it could be cold and windy if you are sitting around after the run**
Getting to Dockweiler: we will carpool, meet in the Denny's Parking lot at the UV at 730 am.
To offer a carpool ride or request one, go to the carpool section on the marathon team website: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~marathon/carpool/
- click on Sunday Carpool and follow the directions, the login is 'runner' and the password is 'runner262'
- PLEASE if you have a car, volunteer to drive for the carpool
Directions to the start of the route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=1115+W+Adams+Blvd,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90007+(University+Village)&daddr=Vista+Del+Mar+%26+W+Imperial+Hwy,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90293+(Dockweiler+Beach)&geocode=FdhJBwIdGh7z-CEAnx3Xq6XXbCm5N2CB7sfCgDFbljPvPFtyNA%3BFXe-BQIdb9Pw-CGmSZ7hiUKUQA&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=33.930257,-118.417168&sspn=0.114799,0.133381&ie=UTF8&ll=33.933182,-118.435906&spn=0.001794,0.002084&t=h&z=19
Head south on the 110, west on the 105 until it turns into the Imperial Highway, follow this to the end. For parking, turn right on Vista Del Mar and park along this street (the west side is probably better); WE WILL MEET AT THE RESTROOM AREA TO THE NORTH OF THE PARKING LOT - look at the map in satellite view to get an idea
4) Sign up for the LA Marathon sooner than later - it will sell out, and it would be a shame to have trained with the team and then not be able to sign up.
Questions? Send us an email - see you on Sunday (or Friday)!
Happy Running!
