November 2014 Schedule

November Schedule

Hello everyone,

I want to send out many ‘congratulations’ to everyone who completed their respected distances this fall… The ones I know Lesley and her incredible marathon time in Detroit, Mary at Marine Corps and the Bear Chase, Kristy, Jim, Cindy, Wendy, Mellissa and Deborah at Rock-n-Roll, Dani and Lori at the Kooky Spooky, Jo Ann at her ½ Ironman, of course Stacy and Ironman Boulder and the many of us that ran the Hot Chocolate Race. You have all done amazing and inspired so many of us to continue on. Great Job! I’m sorry if I missed anyone. I know Denea is running New York this weekend and I believe Deborah is still ‘finding’ her marathon.

I’m not going to put it on the schedule, but Nancy and I with an occasional additional friend have been running the Ralston Creek trail from Oberon Middle School on Tuesday Evenings at 5:30pm everyone is welcome to join us, just bring your headlamps. These runs are usually about 3 miles, somewhat of a tempo run. I will post on Facebook if we give in to the cold or the dark before the next schedule comes out.

Please remember that our Scholarship Fundraiser is this Sunday at Goddard on 87^th and Indiana at 8:00 am. Please plan on attending as this is our big scholarship for the season. I will be sending out letters and emails to the various high school coaches and counselors in Arvada so we should have some great candidates again this year.

 

Schedule

Hi Ladies!

October is upon us with the wonderful fall running weather and beautiful tree changing backdrops. I’m sorry to say, this month will be tough for me to be at every run. I apologize in advance.

Looking for a fun fall 5k race?  Save the date and run with us!  November 2; Annual 5k walk/run scholarship fundraiser!

Hi Ladies,

So I hope it is alright … I tried to fit in all the trails we like to run this month which will mean we will be traveling a bit to get to them …

The book for this Session is Terry Fox ‘His Story’ the revised edition. I have heard that the library does not have it, but I believe Amazon has it fairly inexpensive.

We will have a fundraiser this month for the Scholarship fund … please attend if you can, and encourage your friends and family.

We also had 3 applications submitted for the scholarship for this year. I have them with me all the time so we can vote on how we should distribute the funds. Please remind me when you see me so we can get the money given out before the end of the month. We have the option of giving all of the funds to one girl or split it between 2 of them or all 3 of them.  I will keep everyone updated as to when we will have the girls join us to give the money out.

April Schedule!

Hi ladies!

With the new month we will start adding in the wonderful track workouts and also some hill repeats…Don’t worry, we will start slow!

The Slacker Race Registration is currently happening. Right now we have 2 relay teams, a few running the ½ and a few running the 4 mile race. Please remember to register if you plan to join us.

Reminder – our book this time is “Terry Fox, His Story…The revised version.” When we pick a date, we will let you know.

I also want to thank everyone who has helped me out this last month with my crazy schedule and not being as available as I would like. I really appreciate the help.

 

April Schedule ---

Sunday April 6, 2014 – Platte River ½ Marathon – and for the rest of us, we will run the Ralston Creek Trail starting from the Tennis courts at 64^th and Miller. Our 8:00 am start time seems to be working out, but we will re-evaluate as the month goes on.  Our Schedule shows 7, but I also realize that many people want / need to go further. If I could get an aide station in the Elderidge area that would be great as it is about 3 miles out, then people can go as far as they would like.

Sunday April 13, 2014 – Prairie Doge 1/2, 10k and 5k – and for the rest of us, we will run the Clear Creek Trail starting from Anderson Park at 44^th and Field at 8:00 am. This parking lot is all the way to the south on Field. There are 8 miles scheduled this weekend and again I know people would like to go further. The out and back seems to work well for that situation. If I could get a volunteer to put an aide station at Youngfield I would really appreciate it.

Tuesday April 15, 2014 – 5:00 pm – Track workout at Oberon Middle School – First one of the season…It will be fabulous I’m sure!

Thursday April 17, 2014 – 6:30 pm – Hill Repeat workout – we will only do these every other week and they will be short workouts! I promise. I did the later start time to maybe help out for those who can’t make the early track time. We will start with the hill on Ward Road just south of 72^nd. We will park on 70^th Ave (west of Ward) and run the ‘hill.’ I don’t anticipate it taking more than 30-45 min.

Sunday April 20, 2014 – Easter Sunday – I’ll take suggestions on what you ladies would like to do … maybe a Saturday morning run, maybe a Sunday afternoon run … you let me know!

Tuesday April 22, 2014 – 5:00 pm – Track workout at Oberon Middle School

Sunday April 27, 2014 – We will meet at Starbucks at 64^th and Ward at 7:30 am and run either Bear Creek or Green Mountain. Mary will lead the run for us and I’m sure she will have a fabulous route planned!

March Schedule

In my opinion, we have had a great winter of running. While some of them have been slippery and icy we have survived and been rewarded with amazing views and great adventures.

Jo Ann has offered to host the next book club and has also picked a book. We will decide soon when the meeting will be, but the book is “Terry Fox, His Story…The revised version” for those of us looking for our next book to read.

I’m working with my sister (Amanda) who is going to be a certified Yoga instructor next month on a day when she would be able to come do a yoga session after one of our runs. I will keep it to one where we park at a place with a nice grassy field and preferably when the weather is good (like no wet snowy grass). She is working on getting volunteer hours and there was interest at the last group run. I’ll keep you posted as to what I find out.

 

Our Tuesday and Thursday workouts won’t start until April…we will keep you posted.

March Schedule

Sunday March 2^nd, 2014 – Fairmont Trail – meet at the dog park at 64^th and west of Virgil at 8:00 am and we will run the Fairmont trail (obviously weather pending). I will need someone to do the aide station at the fire station please. Please let me know if you can ltkrapes@msn.com. We will do 6 miles … unless you want a different distance.

Sunday March 2^nd, 2014 – That Dam Run ½ and 5K in Cherry Creek.

Sunday March 9^th, 2014 – Hogback run – meet at Starbucks at 64^th and Ward at 7:30am and we will drive to Forsberg Park (15900 W Alameda Parkway). There are 6 miles scheduled and Mary has plenty of paths available and will also provide an aide station.

 Sunday March 16^th, 2014 – Ralston Creek – Meet at the Arvada Tennis Courts at 64^th and Miller at 8:00 am and we will run the Ralston Creek Trail. It be great if someone could put an aide station at Elderidge which is about 3 miles out. Please let me know if you are available ltkrapes@msn.com. I may also need someone to lead this run, but I will keep you posted.

Saturday March 22, 2014 – Spring Fling 5k, 10k and ½ marathon – This race is at the Arvada Reservoir…

Sunday March 23^rd, 2014 – Arvada Reservoir -- We will meet at the Dog park on 64th and just west of Virgil Way at 8:00 am and run around the Reservoir. Had to change this run because of the construction around Standley Lake. I still need someone to put an aide station by the trash can on Virgil Way. Let me know if you are able to do this. Ltkrapes@msn.com

Sunday March 30^th, 2014 – Lookout Mountain – Meet at Starbucks at 64^th and Ward at 7:30 am and we will carpool to Angela Horvat’s house to run the beautiful rolling hills in the foothills.

February Schedule

Hello Ladies,

Our meeting was a little inconclusive as far as races go. We just have so many people going so many directions… So my plan is to make a long run schedule based on an October Marathon, The Bear Chase ½ marathon, The Fueled by Fine Wine ½ marathon and Slacker Relay and ½ marathon. I will post some of the other shorter races that people plan to do as well. I hope that works for everyone.  I will have the schedules posted on the website as soon as I can.

We also discussed at the meeting resuming the track sessions at the track on Tuesday’s in the spring and we will add a hill repeat workout every other Thursday, maybe starting a little later, weather pending.

We will continue to mix our run up, so if you have suggestions of places we should go, please let me know. I always like to try out new places.  I will continue to need help on some Sundays to lead the runs because of dance. I always appreciate the help!

The February Schedule

Sunday February 2^nd, 2014 – 8:00 am we will meet at the Coalton Trail parking lot on McCaslin North of Highway 128. We will run the Coalton trail. You can choose your distance; it would be great if someone could do the aide station by the fence we usually put it at. Please email me if you can do it. ltkrapes@msn.com

 

Sunday February 9^th, 2014 – 8:00 am we will meet at the Dog Park on 64^th and west of Virgil … We will run the Fairmont Trail. I will need someone to volunteer for the aide station by the Fire Station and some to volunteer to lead the run. Please let me know if you can help out either way… ltkrapes@msn.com. This day is also the Ralston Creek ½ marathon and the 5k. I know we have a few runners doing the 5K. There are still openings if someone would like to jump in the race with them.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped me out with aide stations, leading runs etc. I know my schedule is crazy and I appreciate everyone understanding that.
