teammac,

for the workout on sat feb 20 we will run some mt. bonnell mile repeats (3-5 x mile), haven’t done them in a while, but it should be fun.  meet at the parking lot at enfield and lake austin blvd at 7:00 a.m.

the track meet is an option if you’d rather skip the mountain and get in some flat speed.  it’s up in cedar park, and you should get there about 10:00 a.m. to warmup for the road 5k track 5000, no longer a road race;  then… take a small lunch break and come back around 2 p.m. for a short warmup and race the 1500 on the track.  this double is a very good workout.  cost is $15 for one race and $5 for the second.  price goes up after 15 feb.

Meet at corner of Enfield and Exposition at 7:45 a.m. for 10-22 mile Austin Marathon training run, remember to wear Team Mac bibs on teammac tops… Get the bibs from Coach Mac, not the expo.  You must have signed up for the training run and paid teammac dues for February OR bring a $30 donation to the teammac scholarship fund to receive your bib.  The bibs allow you to take water, PowerAde and gu’s or gels if they hand them out.

Enfield and Exposition is approximately the 10.5 mile mark of the marathon.  Cheer for the leaders as they come by, then jump in at your long run, easy pace for the entire training run.  Follow the course http://www.youraustinmarathon.com/images/stories/course/raceroute-100105.pdf to 15th and Congress (about the 26 mile mark), then turn right and head west  on 15th approximately 2.5 miles back to Enfield and Exposition (note you will be going against the grain of the half-marathoners) for 18 miles total.  Aaron and Travis will be doing 10-12 miles and Lorena 20-22 miles.  Let Coach Mac know your plans if you are doing anything other than the 18-mile run.  Remember to turn right at 15th, do not go around the capitol and finish the race.
