Good Morning guys- Our Peters Canyon group really stepped it up last week on doing some hill work. Hope everyone is feeling loose and ready to take charge on our timed run this Thursday @6pm.

So if u are a former or future peep come on out we would like catch up and if thought about checking us out here is your chance. Feel free to bring the family there will be plenty to go around. PLEASE RSVP on this Blog Comments Section and write what you plan to bring.  We will have Turkey Burgers, MAC n Cheese, and Drinks.


O ya please arrive early parking has been a pain. We will get started with the timed run asap and grill while you guys are running... please bring something warm to wear for after the run.

Impressive Results!


Where do we start? Everyone from our Peter's Canyon Group rocked! The weather was perfect and everyone turned in a remarkable results.






A few of us left home with some extra goodies :) This week come prepared to run a few hills the schedule has us down for 30 but lets do 45min... next week we have another time trial run. So this week workout will get you ready.  Yes the honeymoon is over. xoxo see everyone at 6pm.

This past weekend we had quite the adventure in Big Bear. This is a must do event for everyone next year. Every year it sells out. Our Very own Sue celebrated her birthday with us. Happy Birthday!
For Sue's Birthday we were able to go on a zipline tour. This was an amazing experience!


Btw not only it was Sue's Birthday but it was also National Get Outdoors Day :) so we played.
After our group dinner we still had a race to run. We all meet at 6:45am to head to the start. The weather was perfect!
Karen had been sick for a few weeks but decided to make the best of it. Ann is just on Fire! After a her first half marathon at Laguna Hills, and Peters Canyon, she pulled off her first long distance trail race. Awesome Job...
Our own Elizabeth was fresh from here Mud bath last week in Camp Pendleton- she ran a great race that was mostly uphill :) great job chica. Both Sue and I were playing cat and mouse along the trail up until the second aid station. I think she earned a new nickname Sue-minator- I tried to shake her on the uphill but she was always there within 1min... okay I had half of a beer at aid station 2 :)
Everyone had a positive experience at Holcomb Valley Trail run. I hope more of you can join us next year. This weekend is Fathers Day so enjoy the time with family. We will be starting our longer trail runs in a few weeks for Mt. Disapointment, Nobel Canyon etc... if you are interested please respond to this email.

Race Week!

We had an exciting week last week, and an exciting week ahead!

Last Thursday for Peters Canyon Group, everyone did fantastic! We even went yet again another new way! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. This week is your very first race, and for some of you, your very first trail race!! WHOA! You will all do Awesome! Please try to carpool if you can, and arrive early. Parking will be unbelievably horrible, and the school that they are using to have us park at is having graduation that same day, so please plan accordingly! :) We will have a booth, and you are more than welcome to leave your stuff with us while you race. If you have any questions before, please let us know so we can address them now.

Sunday was fun! It has been about a year since my last Baldy trip, and I am so glad we got to go Sunday. You guys did awesome! I am sorry you did not get to experience going across Devils Backbone, but we still got altitude training, so all is good.

Holcomb is this weekend, and I hope you guys are stoked! Everyone will do Awesome, and we can't wait for you guys to experience this fantastic race.

Everyone from both groups should be resting this week. We know from experience there are some colds going around, and you should all just be taking it easy before your race's. No Wednesday night track, no speed work this week. Save it for your race!

Happy Running!
