June 24 HPT Tempo Run

First things first, congrats to Kate Magee for getting engaged! She is still on this email list even though she hates us, but maybe one day she will come to say hi.
 
For those of you who are going to show up this evening, the plan calls for 15 minutes worth of tempo, which means that we now begin going all the way down to the Buckeye Drive cutoff on Hains Point. 
 
See you all later.

June 10 HPT Tempo Run

Written by Brian Danza

Hey everyone, we are 20 weeks out of Marine Corps Marathon, which means that we officially start bringing a little structure to this thing. I posted the calendar for the summer/fall last week on the HPT page of the site, and we will be following that into autumn.

Tonight and next week are still the same as the last couple of weeks, aka two miles back from the Jefferson Memorial, but soon we will be extending it to the Buckeye cutoff on Hains Point.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening.

June 3 HPT Tempo Run

Written by Brian Danza

Monday, 03 June 2019 08:36

Hey everyone, welcome to June!  I don't think we could possibly have a better day to start the month off. With temperatures in the low 70s and dewpoints down in the 30's we will have an ideal evening for summertime tempo. 
 
Since it is this nice we might as well take advantage of it and run tempo instead of hills. 
 
Additionally, the schedule for the summer/fall season has been posted on the HPT page and can be found below. 
 
See ya tonight.
