LSCV 1st Group Run/Walk Gathering

From the desk of Marty Linclau-Miller …

Well… whether you’re joined the Longevity Studios Cardiovascular (LSCV) Group or not, you may be looking to do something active this Saturday (March 20, 2010). You may just want to celebrate the “no more blizzards” weather with some outdoor fun! But how on Earth could you do this?

I’ll tell you how, let’s get moving on the right “path” … or maybe trail would be a better way to say this … the Indian Head/White Plains Rail Trail!!! I would like to invite you to the first of many LSCV group run/walks. These are very informal and we look to get as much laughter out of you as sweat. The goal is to get the group together to share training tips, work together to improve our stamina, and meet others who share our goals. Any and all are welcome. Heck… you can even bring a friend or family member, if you like.

If you are looking to improve your running/walking performance, you have a task before coming. Your task before you arrive is to gather some data, so we can calculate your pace. Here is how:

• Time a run outside or on the treadmill. Remember it or write it down!
• Log your distance. The treadmill will tell you at the end of your run. If you run outdoors, go to www.mapmyrun.com and, well… map your run! Remember your distance!
• Bring both numbers with you and I will show you how to calculate your mile pace. With everyone’s pace, we will choose running groups and get rolling. We will go for 50 minutes, 25 out and 25 back.

We will meet on Saturday 3/20 at the “White Plains” end of the Indian Head/White Plains Rail Trail at 1:00 PM. Here is how to get there:

White Plains – From Rt. 301 South, make right turn onto Theodore Green Boulevard. Approximately ¼ miles, trail parking is on right side of road. Weekend (only) overflow parking is available at the Charles County Health Department’s parking lot (at intersections of Rt. 301 and Theo. Green Blvd.).

I’ll see you Saturday!
