Yoga Session with Patrick Anderson

Runners -

Please join us for a special Yoga Session for Red River Runners on Wednesday, April 29th at 6pm with instructor Patrick Anderson!

This session will take place at the Lotus Meditation Center on the UND Campus (2908 University Avenue). Cost is $5 per person. If you have your own yoga mat, please bring it along. Otherwise, the center has a few extras.

I hope you can join us! We were lucky enough to do this last year and it was AMAZING! He is going to be showing us stretches specifically for runners, so it will be very beneficial to attend.

We will NOT have our regular 800 workout on the 29th because of this.

Happy Running!

Running Routes for 4-4-09

Runners,


Below are the routes for this Saturday. Marathoners, please meet at the YMCA at 7am to get going on the run. Half marathoners, if you would like to show up at 7am and get a head start, there have been others who expressed interest for the early start. AND, if you're a sleepy head like me, you can certainly show up at the regular time (8am) and get going then!


Amy and Amanda will begin their run at 6am from the YMCA, so for those of you who are REALLY early risers, that option is out there, too.


Water stations for the Full -

Miles 4, 8, 12, 16, and possibly 18


Water station for the Half -

Mile 4*

(*there will not be a water station if you're running at 6am- please use the Loaf n Jug gas station at the corner of 42nd and University as a water stop)


As always, we will provide the water and we ask that you provide your own sports drink.


In the Phase 3 plan, there are 2 programs for each race; the beginner and the intermediate. I have mapped out the intermediate course. Here are the alterations if you wish to follow the beginner plan:


Full - When you reach the intersection of Cherry Street and 47th Ave (at about mile 13.5), turn left onto 47th instead of going straight to do the loop. THEN, after mile 18, instead of going all the way down 3rd to 10th, cut back to the YMCA when you hit University Ave.


Half- After going over the Columbia bridge overpass, turn right onto University Ave instead of running up to 10th. Head straight back to the YMCA.


Routes:

See you on Saturday!
