This upcoming Saturday, we will be meeting at 6:00 AM at the Desert Vista High School track in order to run our Magic Mile. This is a deviation from the schedule posted on line but it is intentional so don’t be concerned. The intent of the MM is to help each runner determine their appropriate pace for training and racing. The MM is not mandatory so please don’t stress if your preference is to skip the timing and run the course at a comfortable pace. After the runners have completed their MM, we will divvy up into the appropriate subgroups, and run a 3 mile route around Lakewood. There will be extra mileage for the full marathoners.
Map is for Ken & Diedre only.
Vista Canyon 7, Ken and Diedre only.

This Saturday will be the first meeting for the Half-Marathon group. Everyone is welcome, no matter what level runner/walker you are. We will be meeting at Roadrunner Sports in the Tempe Marketplace, McClintock and the 202, @ 6 A.M. We will be running approximately 3 miles using 1 : 1 intervals; walk for one minute, run for one minute. This type of interval training is the central premise of the Galloway method. See you there!
Below is an extra 4 mile loop for some of the marathon group. The run goes south at the palm walk on the ASU campus.

Here are two 6+ mile loops that begin and end @ Sole Sports. We will probably do the north loop first due to darkness and finish with the south loop which covers some new territory.

Hi Runners,
We have two groups running different mileage this weekend but we intend to meet up and enjoy each other’s company for approximately 7 miles. Kate, Deirdre and Ken will be meeting at Kiwanis Park at 4:00 AM for a 6.5 miler which ends at the Cornerstone Plaza parking lot at the northeast corner of University and Rural. The remainder of the group will rendezvous with this trio at Cornerstone between 5:15 and 5:30AM. We will run a 7 mile route which ends back in the parking lot. Kate, Deirdre and Ken will run back to Kiwanis for a completion of their 20 mile run.

This week is one of my favorite runs (except for College Ave) which takes you from Kiwanis Park north to Tempe Town Lake and return. There is a turnaround point for those who are running 6 miles this weekend. The full route is 11.2 and there are bathrooms at Starbucks on Mill Avenue @ 5th and also on the north side of Tempe Town Lake by the Marina. Start time is 4:30 A.M, the heat is finally breaking, fall is on the way, should be a great morning for a run. Some of us will be in Orange County for the Disneyland Half Marathon, enjoy!
