We learned from registered dietician Acacia Wright how important proper nutrition is to endurance sports. She graciously donated her time and shared with us how to create the correct balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat while training. She left us a handout, for those of you that couldn't make it or live far away, let me know if you'd like a copy and I will get it sent to you! Thanks again Acacia for sharing your knowledge and spirit!
We had an awesome group that rocked hill training last night! We even had a small smattering of snowflakes for a few minutes. Yet once again our luck was in our favor and "no" rain. We've been such a lucky group!
A BIG hoorah goes to our brave hill climbers:
Jeannie McLam, Robie McLam, Lorraine Cunningham, Erica Wolf,
Hope Soley, Pat Hamburg, Donna Vande Kieft, and Rod MacLean.
It was a challenging practice and you all did FABULOUS!!!
This Saturday our practice will be at beautiful Langus park in Everett. It's a three-mile paved trail, which is perfect for our training. It has a great vantage points to see waterfowl, raptors and shorebirds. Saturday we will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the covered picnic shelter. If you have a watch or phone you can set, please bring it as we will be starting and learning about "tempo" training. Please let me know if you'll be at Langus park so we can watch for you!From the south: Take exit 195, Turn left onto
