We will meet at my house at 6am, discuss some info about the upcoming Komen Race (if you're attending!) as well as some information from the latest Get Fit Seminar. We'll hit the pavement between 6:15am & 6:30am.

Click here for directions to my neighborhood. I live right across the street from Aunt Chilada's. Please call my house at 602.441.4814 when you get close and I'll give you instructions to find my place.

Hope you can make it! Remember - We're only 18 weeks away from Rock n Roll!!!!

Training Update

Well, when I first set up the "every other Saturday" schedule, I didn't check for conflicts with holidays! As it turns out, we were set to train over all the major holiday weekends from now until the race! Because you really want to go walking at 6am the Saturday of the biggest shopping weekend of the year!

So, we will take a pass this Saturday and pick back up with regular sessions starting on Sept 12. Same time, same place.

If anyone would like to go walking this Saturday, I plan on walking the bike path on the North side of Squaw Peak Mountain. Just e-mail me and let me know if you want to tag along. It's a 6 mile loop if you start at my house. You can meet me in the park if you don't want to go the full 6 miles.

Don't forget to sign up for the Race for the Cure. Prices go from $25 to $30 on Sept 24 for adults. Check the official race site for pricing information for kids and survivors. The race is October 11 - hope to see you their!
