April / May Schedule

Hello Everyone,

Below you will find the schedule for April and May ... I'm going to make a valid effort at trying to go to places that allow for longer runs for those people who would like to go longer than 6 ish miles. I know there are some people thinking about or signed up for various races and I would like to try and accommodate those runners. I think some of the races that have been mentioned are ... A Trail Race in Moab, The Colorado Marathon, Bolder Boulder, The Slacker 1/2 Marathon, the race in July in California. If I missed some races please let me know. I know races are always more fun when you have a friend... I have figured out a pretty solid long run schedule for anyone who would like to run The Slacker 1/2, so I will post the mileage on the dates below ... again just guidelines and nothing that needs to be followed...

I'm still brainstorming ideas to do track workouts (not that the weather has been cooperating) so I will those when I figure it all out.

Also, I will be moving up the start time to 7:30 am each week and eventually earlier as we get into summer...

Sunday April 3rd -- 8 miles -- I believe all the trails may still be muddy ... but we could park at the Arvada Dog park and see if the Fairmont Trail is clear. If not, we can always run around the Arvada Res... Lets meet at 7:30 AM...

Sunday April 10th -- 7 miles -- I will be running the Frank Shorter 5K with a bunch of kids ... anyone who would like to join me is highly encouraged. Otherwise I will let you guys set your own meeting place.

Sunday April 17th -- 9 miles -- I really miss Elk Meadow, so weather pending we will run this loop, maybe twice ... so we will meet at the old Starbucks parking lot at 64th and Ward at 7:00 am and carpool to the Elk Meadow Parking lot.

Sunday April 24th -- 7 miles -- I'm traveling for work this weekend ... So again I'm going to let everyone pick a meeting spot...

Sunday May 1st -- 10 miles -- We will be running Lookout Mountain, meeting at the old Starbucks parking lot at 7 to carpool to Ang's house. This may be the slowest 10 miles ever ;).

Sunday May 8th -- 11 miles -- This would be fun to do the Cherry Creek Trail ... We can park by REI again and run either the Cherry Creek trail or the Platte River Trail ... we will carpool from the old Starbucks at 64th and Ward meeting at 7 AM.

Sunday May 15th -- 8 miles -- We will run the Clear Creek Trail this week, this is mothers day so whatever is comfortable ... we will meet at Anderson Park at 44th and field at 7:30 AM.

Sunday May 22nd -- 12 miles -- And another trail that goes forever ... the Ralston Creek Trail. We will meet at the Arvada Tennis courts at 7:30 AM. I may ask for 2 aide stations along the way, but will confirm when we get closer.

Sunday May 29th -- 7 miles -- This is the day before the Bolder Boulder. So maybe a short run? Depending on the weather we could do a few miles at Matthew Winters or Red Rocks ... will confirm when we get closer.

February / March Schedule

Hi Ladies,

I hope things are well with everyone ... I have posted our scholarship on our website and had it posted on the Naviance website for the high school counselors. This year we have raised $500 to give away. If anyone knows someone, please encourage them to apply.

In the meantime if anyone has any fundraising ideas please let me know.

Here is the upcoming schedule ...

Saturday February 13th --- Some people are running the Heart Throb 5K, 10 am in Olde Town ...

Sunday February 14th -- Meet at 8 am at the dog park at 64th and just west of Virgil Way ... Since the weather has become a bit nicer we are planning to run the Fairmont Trail. Nancy has volunteered to locate the aide station.

Sunday February 21st -- Meet at 7:30 am at the old Starbucks parking lot at 64th and Ward and we will carpool to Angela's house to run around Lookout Mountain.

Sunday February 28th -- Meet at 8 am at the Arvada Tennis Courts at 64th and Miller, we will run the Ralston Creek Trail.

Sunday March 6th -- I don't know if I will be at this run, however we will meet at 8:00 am at the Dog Park at 64th and Just west of Virgil Way and we will run around the res... We can add on, with the Ralston Creek Trail or around Tucker Lake.

Sunday March 13th -- Again I'm not sure I'll be at this run, but we will meet at 8:00 am at Anderson Park at 44th and Field in the far south parking lot and we will run the Clear Creek Trail.

Sunday March 20th -- Some people are headed to San Diego to Run the Hot Chocolate Race there, however for those staying here we will meet at Goddard School at 87th and Indiana and run Candelas, we haven't challenged ourselves with that lovely hill in awhile. It will be good training, or torture...

Sunday March 27th -- Meet at 7:30 am at the old Starbucks parking lot at 64th and Ward and we will carpool and run the Cherry Creek or Platte River Trail. More details to follow, please watch the
Facebook page.

Here is to hoping for warmer runs...

  

December / January Schedule

So so sorry for the late post ...

I have some days coming up that I will be out of town, so I will need someone to volunteer to lead for me. I appreciate all  of the help everyone always gives.

Also, Thank you Nancy for hosting the holiday gathering... We had a great time!

Sunday December 20th -- We will meet at the old Starbucks parking lot at 64th and Ward at 7:30 am to carpool up to Angela's house. We will be running, the temps are getting to warm and not enough to snow shoe.

Sunday December 27th -- We will meet at the Dog Park at 8:00 am at 64th and just west of Virgil Way. We will decide if we run around the lake or if we run Fairmont, depending on the weather.

Friday January 1st -- There have been lots of mentions that people are running this 5K in Arvada at Memorial Park ... 3W puts on this race, and it always has been a fun one.

Sunday January 3rd -- This is one of the days I'll be out of town. Seems that the Clear Creek trail works well, so meet at Anderson Park at 8:00 am... Volunteers for the aide station and leading, please let me know.

Sunday January 10th -- It has been requested to run the Cherry Creek trail, I believe we will carpool down to the parking lot between REI and the Aquarium ... Mary will be helping me coordinate this run.

Sunday January 17th -- We will meet at the Arvada Tennis courts (64th and Miller) at 8:00 am to run the Ralston Creek Trail. Volunteers for the aide station?

Sunday January 24th -- We will meet at the dog park on 64th at 8:00 am and run around the reservoir... Please let me know if you can do the aide station 

Sunday January 31st -- Right now it is undecided if I will be able to make it to this run, so I may need a volunteer ... Either way, we will meet at Anderson Park at 8:00 and run the Clear Creek trail ...

Sunday February 7th -- I'm thinking we can go run around Sloan's lake (maybe twice) ... so we can carpool from the old Starbucks at 64th and Ward ... let me know thoughts on this... We could maybe do a breakfast afterwards?

Hello Ladies,

 

First I would like to send a great big Thank you to all of you that participated in the ‘gift card’ that I received at the last scholarship fundraiser. I’m truly honored to have the opportunity to work with you ladies.

Also, I would like to Thank everyone that helped with the awarding of the scholarship. This year we were able to award (2) $600 scholarships to (2) very deserving girls. Erin Thomas and Alicia Thompson both submitted incredible applications and will both be going to University of Northern Colorado to run.

Another side note … we will be moving some times around to try to avoid some of the heat that has finally appeared these last few days. Please make sure to check Facebook or send me a message to make sure what time we are running.
