This Week's Running and Funning Opportunities 4-13-15 to 4-18-15

It's Trail Mix this coming Saturday so some folks may (or may not) be on taper. Although taper doesn't mean doing nothing it does mean taking it easy and not pushing hard during running workouts. So if you happen to be tapering, consider joining the group events and taking it easy. 

Tuesday Running/Hiking/Walking
4-14-15 6:15 at Carbone's in Mound 
We will head west on the Dakota Trail for a bunch of super flat speedy miles. The weather is shaping up to be just about perfect so don't miss out on this spring time early evening run. After the run plan on enjoying some food and pre-planning the weekend racing and running. 

Wednesday Core and Cardio Night
4-15-15 Maple Plain Snap Fitness 6:00pm and 6:30pm
Join us at Maple Plain Snap Fitness for Core/Abs class of a half hour followed by some fun times on machines to get a low/no impact cardio workout. (You don't have to be a Snap Fitness Member to join in on the fun!) There may be a small group that goes for a 40 minute run at the same time as the cardio class (maybe, hehe). After the fitness don't miss the fun and free popcorn and $1 tacos across the street.

Thursday Trail Run Training
4-16-15 noon Maple Plain Snap Fitness and Baker Park 
The plan is to do a loop (or part of it) on the horse trail that circles Baker Park. The total loop is right at 7 miles and is in great shape. We want to get on this trail before the horses rip it up in a few weeks. 

Friday Shake-out run
7:30am 110 Parking Lot for the Luce Line (ask if you need directions)
Nice easy 4-5 miles on the Luce Line for anyone who wants to join in. We will do a little walking and running and talking about the awesome time some will be having at the Trail Mix race Saturday.
