Nov 2th- Nov 14th
Here we go guys! As you know, the CORE is central to staying in shape and being able to keep your running form for long distances. A strong core is essential to staying uninjured!
Here's the Mini-Challenge - Two Weeks - You can do it!
To borrow an expression from Nike "Every Damn Day-Just Do It!"
1st Week - 50 Sit Ups every day. Don't forget your obliques!
2nd Week - 50 Sit Ups every day and 10 push ups every day.
At the Party on Nov. 14th - We'll decide whether to have the Winter Season Core Challenge. I call this the "Stripper's Challenge" because the Las Vegas Dancers are fanatical about their sit ups. We can do it girls!

Inspiration Quote for Awesome Marathoners....
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Fall Running Tips
(As provided by the Salt Lake Running Co.)
Fall is a great time to run - crisp mornings and the beautiful colors that surround us - it's one of our favorite times of year. We offer these tips and products to make the most of your runs this Fall.
Tip#1: Is it time for a new pair of shoes? Keep track of your mileage on your shoes and replace them accordingly. Most sources recommend new shoes every 300-350 miles.
Tip #2: Be Smart in the Dark
With shorter days and longer nights - be smart in the dark and don't get caught without appropriate reflective gear or lights. Head Lamps, Reflective Vest, Flashing "Tail"Light, Runner ID or a phone number written in Sharpie on your shoe!
Tip #3: Take a break, you deserve it
Your last race is weeks away or you just finished your season - - congrats...you have worked hard and you deserve a break!
Tip #4: Run 'The Human Race'
Okay - this last one is not quite a tip -but it's a really fun way to keep running.
The Human Race is designed for runners all over the world. On 10.24.09, runners will unite to run a 10k together. Salt Lake Running has joined forces with Nike to host the Human Race in Salt Lake City.
Running the Human Race is free to all participants. Anyone can join us the morning of the event. However, in order for you to receive an official time and be a part of the Human Race, you must register with Nike+ and log the miles with the Nike+ system.
More details, will be coming your way soon but we wanted to give you a few key dates to put on your calendar.
Training Run #1: Oct 3, 8:00 am- 2-4 miles
Training Run #2: Oct 10, 8:00 am- 3-5 miles
Training Run #3: Oct 17, 8:00 am- 4-6 miles
The Human Race: Oct 24, 9:00 am- 10k
**All runs will start and finish at Salt Lake Running Co.- 3142 S Highland Dr.
**** Thank you Salt Lake Running Company for providing the support for the Teaser Runs!!! It is much appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions about fall or winter running. If you have the right gear, winter may actually become your favorite time of the year to run. If you need a winter sunshine break - plan a race getaway. The Rock N Roll Phoenix in January is a nice break in a warm place!
Run long! Run happy!
