A New Batch of Campers

10.09.09 The gang ran hard last night and Saturday, I expect some good times in the BTC Fun Run 5 mile. Then if you are looking for some more miles, I will be leaving Yokuts at 6am on Sunday for a three hour hike with my B.M.W. (Bakersfield Marathon Walkers) friends.

10.08.09 Today we will be doing the Yo 2, Big Yo and then Lil Yo with short break in between each. Please remember to bring a stopwatch to practice. Also Saturday, we will be meeting at Yokuts Park at 7am for the BTC Fun Run, where I want you to run the 5 mile course (Click HERE for previous BRC 5 mile results). Sunday, I will be doing a long hike and will post details asap.

Also a big hand to Lisa Sorensen for completing the Lake Tahoe half marathon in 2:57 despite the altitude and the hills. She said she ran two minutes and walked a minute on her way to a 13:33 average pace run.

10.06.09 Tuesday evening we had a hard workout. After our usual warm up, we did three 6 minute runs with a 4 minute walk in between. Then we did three 4 minute runs with 2 minute walk in between. Since we had daylight, we did half the workout on the other side of the river by the RV park. sorry about the sand but I wanted to take advantage of a different course because soon we will be limited to running at Yokuts under the lights or maybe venture to Beach park and run there.

10.04.09 Running Camp Meet & Greet This Saturday from 6:30 am till the start of the BTC Fun Run (7am), meet our running coaches, running campers and get more information about our running program. Then run/walk the BTC Fun Run. There are three distances to choose from (2,3 or 5 mile) and it is FREE!

10.03.09 Today we did ten times 4 minutes with a 2 minute walk in between at the bluffs. Some got in almost 9 miles by the time we were done. On Sunday at 7am sharp, come join me on my "Yokuts & Bagels" hike. I will be leaving Yokuts and hiking to Bagels & Blenders. Grab a bagel or two and head back. Bring water & cash (for bagels).

10.02.09 Had a great start to the Mr. Toad's Running Camp. After introductions and some paperwork we started the evening with our usual warm up. We do the warm up to get ready for the evenings workout but also it gives the late arrivals a chance to catch up with us. Tonight we did a time trial. Some did 2 miles while other did the 5k. Results HERE.

10.01.09 Today is day one of the Mr. Toad's Running Camp. We meet at Yokuts Park at 6pm.
