Next Thursday May 13 + hosting a Kenyan in town

[Alex Varner]

hey all,

sorry if you're getting this twice and please forward to anyone who you notice didnt get it...

i'm actually planning on running a practice dipsea on thursday.  it's a very good workout (676 stairs, then a 1300ft climb over 2 miles). i dont want to break up the group, but if anyone wants to join, they are more than welcome. i can drive people over to marin. if anyone is interested, please let me know and we can plan rides, as we'll probably have to drop a car at stinson if there are more than a couple of folks, or i can work on getting us rides back... but that's all TBD.

anyways, good luck to all those racing tomorrow! kick some butt.

Hey everyone. I believe the track is going to be closed next Thursday during our workout since the Pac-10 meet will be in full swing at Cal. We were able to sneak on there yesterday although it was technically closed so the multi-event athletes could do their workout. Next week it will definitely be much more crowded and I don't think Cal would appreciate our working out there, However we can meet at the entrance of the track and plan to go up the namesake Fire Trail at a reasonable clip. That might suit Alex Varner too. I also might not be in attendance, as I may have to pick up James Kipketer at the airport. I can keep you posted on that later, but wanted to get the word out ahead of time.

Secondly, I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to host James Kipketer for any portion of his stay from May 13-June 1st. He is running the Bay to Breakers and training, then taking a run at the course record at the Marin 10K (28:45). Tamalpa Runners has already stepped up and comped him some gear as well as paid for his flight out here. They'll also help with the hosting. Of course, I realize they are from a much higher economic bracket and Mark McManus sort of spear-headed this effort which came together quite quickly and here we are. James will probably do a good number of his runs in Marin with his hosts, however if we can host him he would love to run with our fast guys and do the workouts too.

Eva and I are interested... well she is forcing me to be interested. She claims I will love it... I think she lies but we'll be there if we have rides!

[Alex Varner]

Sounds good. There isn't any bus service from Stinson, so I either need to know how many people I need to arrange rides for (which may still not happen), or we need someone else with a car that we can drop at stinson (which isnt a huge deal, we just have to leave a bit earlier). any more people interested?
