Team StayPut - San Francisco, CA

12/7 weekly update

guest — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:54:55 GMT

Hi Team San Francisco,

Thanks to everyone for your sweet emails of support for the marathon. I had a great race at CIM. My total time was 3:16:13. It was a PR for this course and my second fastest marathon. I dedicated mile 19-20 to Goody Team StayPut. It took a lot of mental motivation at that point and you all helped me through it whether you realized it or not!

We have some Turkey Trots to report on!

Stephanie's report on the San Jose Turkey Trot:

"I did the San Jose Turkey trot. The course was long (6.24 miles by a friend's GPS), and there was one spot where everyone (including the 5K walkers with their large double strollers) had to go through a really narrow tunnel, so there was a bottleneck and some forced walking, but at least it didn't rain! Made me feel less guilty about stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie later though! And wasn't that the point?"

Melissa's report on her Turkey Trot:

" I did a Turkey Trot 2 weekends ago and actually won a Turkey for placing first in my age group! Go figure."

Anyone looking for one more race in 2008?

I am half entertaining the idea of running the Christmas Relays this coming Sunday. Slowly, of course because I don't know how much my legs and body can take after the marathon. Is anyone interested in running as a team? The relay teams consist of 4 people. The total distance each runner will cover is a 4.464 mile loop around Lake Merced in San Francisco. We can run as a Goody Team StayPut Team(s) and try to get some publicity. Or we can also bring friends out and build teams that way. Shoot me an email if you are interested.

Hi Team San Francisco,

I finished off my cross country season with a great race this morning. I had a 30 second PR on a tough course in Golden Gate Park. I hope some of you think about joining me for these races next Fall. It's really lots of fun!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! If you want to get in a workout before your Thanksgiving meals, check out one of the turkey trots in San Jose and San Francisco.

Hi Team San Francisco,

I had a great race at the Clarksburg Country Run today. All be it a bit windy on the return portion of the 30K, there was pretty scenery to distract my mind from the physical pain! This was a PR time for me on the course so I can?t complain too much about the elements!

Looks like we have a break from racing this week. Don't forget that resting is also key to a great training plan. If it is time to treat your muscles to a massage, check out Sunset Sauna http://www.sunsetsauna.com/ Although they no longer have a sauna available at the city location, their massage services are still available and a great way to recover.

I am still looking for any race reports you want to share with us. Let me know!

I am going to begin re-posting my weekly emails to the team on our blog. Here's the update for week 11/2-11/8. Happy racing!

Hi Team San Francisco,

Congratulations to Ashley Frogner for a great race at the Marin County Triathlon. Ashley was 4th in her age group with an impressive time of 2:31:30! Also, congrats go out to Norma Moreno for completing the San Jose Half Marathon in October.

We are also racing this weekend! Melissa Aycock is competing in the US half marathon in San Francisco this morning. Send her some speedy thoughts. I took part in the 12th annual John Lawson Tamalpa Cross Country Challenge yesterday on a very muddy course in the rain. Despite the weather, I still had a PR race on the course. I guess I was running for cover!

More results to report? Let me know!
