Good evening Galloway runners, walkers, and all of us RACING to end breast cancer,

On Saturday, August 18, we will be meeting at the Sea Turtle Inn in Atlantic Beach at 6:00 a.m. for a five mile run/walk.  PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER TIME!  Until our weather cools down, we will be meeting an hour earlier to try and beat the heat.  The Sea Turtle Inn is located at the end of Atlantic Blvd, where the street hits the beach!

Parking is a challenge, so please give yourself time to find parking.  Street parking is available along Atlantic Blvd and side streets.  There is also a fairly large lot just before Sun Dog on the right as you head East.  Parking in the hotel lots is not available.

Schedule subject to change:  Due to the growing size of our group, locations currently listed on our schedule are subject to change.  Please check your e-mail weekly for updates, and visit www.breastcancermarathon.com for updated information.  Our latest schedule is available for download on our web site and is attached.

Group Assignments:  Last week you were assigned to your pace group.  For the next several weeks, these groups will begin to ‘settle’, and you will find yourself ‘magic mileing’ in and out of groups until you find your perfect fit.  Please be sure to stay with your Group Leader at all times, and feel free to speak up if your group leader is taking you too fast or too slow based on your target training pace.

Goodie Bags:  If you did not receive your book, training journal, or training singlet at the kick-off, I will have some materials available on Saturday.  We have placed another large order, so if we run out this weekend we’ll get more in shortly.

Have a wonderful week, and we’ll see you all on Saturday.
