Group Run Updates

**Update #1** NO GROUP RUN this Thursday. I slightly 'tweaked' a knee on my Sunday long run, and it would be stupid to run on it, so I am not going to coach a run this week.

**Update #2** Group runs will resume for the last 3 weeks (March 15, 22, 29) at 6:00 pm at a NEW location - Gordon Head Rec Centre.

From there we will warm-up jog over to Mt. Doug park and do some longer, steeper hills on trails. We'll stick to the wider, smoother trails with less roots/rocks, so if you are not a trail running fan, don't despair! (although it would be good to embrace the trails, cause they really help your running). With the earlier change to daylight savings we can take advantage of the light and get in a good hour-ish workout, at a location even better than the Uplands hills.

Gordon Head Rec Centre is located at
4100 Lambrick Way, off Feltham Road. If you know where Lambrick Park is in Saanich (a big park with soccer/baseball fields, lacrosse box and tennis courts) the rec centre is right there. We'll meet at the front doors to the centre and be on our way at 6:00 pm sharp!

Sorry to hear you tweaked yourself Duncan..take care of it and get it better soon. I'm excited to hear that we're running Mt. Doug trails. That will be great!!! Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Sorry, to hear about your leg coach #2. Hope all heals well. Still a bit nervous about running trails but you never know I may join you on the 15th.

Anyone, riding on the weekend? I missed last weeks but hopefully, will join up this one.
