When I sit down to create the Breakfast Club route each week from Fleet Feet, I am faced with what seems to been infinite possibilities of five-mile routes. Even with all the possibilities I still gravitate back to some of our, or maybe I should say 'my' favorites.
As a member of the Fleet Feet Marathon training group, our plan details the Thursday run as a Tempo Run. This run is a way to practice a 'race pace' for a shorter distance
You can avoid hills when running five miles from Fleet Feet, however, but not tomorrow.
The race (half-marathon) was about to start and the discomfort was there. "It will go away when I get warmed up.” NOT.
TRUTH...some mornings it would be easy to just roll over and go back to sleep.
BUT...a commitment to a training plan and friends make me...
The Breakfast Club Run route is new tomorrow. We will circle the Jones Family Park pond and then venture into the new development beside the park.
Gone are the days of the sun rising at 5:30 am. Tomorrow's official sun rise time for Huntsville is 6:24 am. As the number of daylight hours fades into darkness, it is time to pull out the reflective gear.
Trace tomorrow's breakfast club route on a map and you might say it resembles the Big Dipper.
For the sake of friendship, we are keeping it flat this week.
