9.29.09 - The final day of Building Better bodies first running camp came to a close today. Want to thank
everyone for being such a great group. I think almost everyone got faster and plans on running a half marathon
in the near future. With the shorter days, the mornings are going to be too dark and cold to run.

So I will only be having the 6pm workouts on Tuesday & Thursday at Yokuts. Saturdays we will meet at the
bluffs at 7am unless there is a local race. More running Camp Info HERE.

9.26.09 - This weekend was a crazy one with me working the Wolf Pack Invite and the weather being awful.
Many of you did make it out to River Walk for our long run and most got in 90 minutes. Gabriel ran a 5k
instead and Lisa did the half marathon at Lake Tahoe in a time of 2:57. Then on Sunday, Diana and I did a 5
mile hike previewing Mr. Toads.

Mr. Toad's Wild Run 20k Running Camp - This 9 week program is very similar to our first running camp. We
will meet three days a week and the focus is the Mr. Toad's 20k on the first Saturday in December. Now you
can join us and not have to run the 12.4 mile race in the hills outside Hart Park but we will get you in shape to
do it. Along the way, we will be running many local events like the BPD 10k and the BTC half marathon.
Running camp meets on Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm at Yokuts Park. We also meet on Saturdays at 7am
at the Panorama Bluffs or a local running race. The fee for this 9 week program is $100.

9.25.09 - Tonight's Building Better Bodies Boot Camp is bring a friend for free night. So drop by at 6pm at
Yokuts Park. On Saturday, my running camp is meeting at the River Walk park at 7am for our weekly long run.
Then on Sunday, I am meeting some of you to hike part of the Mr. Toad's 20k course. We will be meeting by
the Sheriff's Pistol range out at Hart Park at 6:30am if you would like to join us.

9.24.09 - A month ago we ran the Yokuts 2 mile and today we ran it again and had quite a few PRs. First off
newcomer Judy J ran her first 2 mile for time and cruised a 25:09 with Kelli K (I think we held her back).

Then in the evening Diana D ran 19:05 which beat her old time (22:39) by 2:24! Her 9:32 pace is only a few
seconds slower then her Building Better Bodies Boot Camp mile.

Lastly Kim N. ran 19:15 which was almost a minute faster then a month ago when it was cooler and she did
not have a day at the fair in her legs. My running campers results can be found HERE.

9.23.09 - Posted new running camp info on Building Better Bodies site HERE. In the coming months,we
are offering a one day a week or three day a week running camp:

Mr. Toad's Wild Run 20k Running Camp - This 9 week program is very similar to our first running camp.
We will meet three days a week and the focus is the Mr. Toad's 20k on the first Saturday in December. Now
you can join us and not have to run the 12.4 mile race in the hills outside Hart Park but we will get you in shape
to do it. Along the way, we will be running many local events like the BPD 10k and the BTC half marathon.
Running camp meets on Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm at Yokuts Park. We also meet on Saturdays at 7am
at the Panorama Bluffs or a local running race. The fee for this 9 week program is $100.

From the Stadium to Sea Running Camp - This 20 week program meets once a week instead of three
like the Mr. Toad's camp. The focus of this camp is the Los Angeles Marathon but one can use this program
to achieve other less difficult goals. The marathon is on Sunday March 21st 2010 and has a great new
course. The start is at Dodger stadium, runs through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Westwood and finishes at
Santa Monica. We will meet on Saturdays at the Panorama Bluffs at 7am or at local running races. I will also
have informal Sunday runs as well for those who can not make Saturdays. The fee for this 20 week program
is $125.

9.22.09 - Tuesday, we did our shortest and fastest intervals to date (4 x 2 minute followed by 4 x 1 minute)
which got the heart racing and the legs moving. Hopefully my senior Sherpa (Steve) recovers from his self-
inflicted hamstring injury quickly and is out back with us soon.

This evening, my junior Sherpa (my son Nick) returning to action and ran with the faster ladies. A veteran of
high school cross country, he marvelled at how hard all of you work compared to his former team mates. Do
not forget that this Saturday, we will be meeting at River Walk at 7am. See you Thursday.
