Training Run #2: Details AND Special Post-Run Treat!!!
Jessica Zall
Hello, hello all you dedicated runners and fundraisers!!! Can I just tell you HOW proud I am of each and everyone one of you for committing to the cause AND the running program! You are all true runners in my eyes and heart (and I’ve run 13 marathons already!) So, you have my full and complete admiration J J J
It’s that time now, time for, dun na na na … TRAINING RUN #2!!! You’ve successfully completed one of the first steps of the 2009 Team Asha training season JUST by showing up to the Asha Tree last Saturday! Let’s see you do it again J J J
Here are the details:
When???? Saturday, May 9th @ 8:30am
Where??? 5th Avenue & East 60th Street at the circle entrance to Central Park (where the taxis go to turn around and the horse drawn carriages use as a bathroom ;)
Why??? You want to see me (HAHAHAHAHA … you want to run with the BEST marathon training program around AND raise money for an IMPORTANT cause … and, you want to see me ;)
What to wear??? Shorts or leggings (it’s going to be nice out, not too cold, not too warm), t-shirt (short- or long-sleeve), light jacket to keep warm pre- and post-run, sports socks and proper running shoes
What to bring??? Money (cash or check for commitment and your credit card for reasons explained below…)
What, you don’t have proper running shoes? Well, guess what? We’re going SHOPPING!!! Yes, you’ve got that right!!! We have organized a special trip to Urban Athletics (one of NYC’s best running stores with experience runners and shoe experts on staff) immediately post-run. You’ll be able to get fitted for the proper shoes that work best for your walking and running gate (experts will be on hand to watch how you walk and run to ensure that you train in the shoes best fit for your gate and body type). You can even TEST DRIVE their shoes to be confident in your purchase as well!!! But, the BEST part about this special trip is that Urban Athletics will be offering a 20% discount to all Team Asha runners who come to the store with our group!!!
We will walk up to the store with the coaches, mentors, coordinators & runners as a cool-down and to get to know each other after the morning’s training run around 10:30am or so, aiming to arrive at the store by 11:00am. Urban Athletics will have post-workout refreshments for us AND raffle giveaways (yes, that means FREE running stuff!!!) So, bring your wallets as you’ll need shoes this season! If you’ve already gotten new shoes, you might want to spring for a second pair as you’ll tear through your shoes quite quickly, and with this discount, who can pass it up???
If you won’t be able to make the training run, but STILL want to reap this fabulous discount AND fun time, come meet us at 11:00am at the store located on the Upper East Side at:
Urban Athletics
1291 Madison Avenue @ 92nd Street (ONLY 160 meters from Central Park!!!)
