Join us for our weekly long run 8:00 am Saturday, October 26 at Java Beach!

Join us for our weekly long run 8:00 am Saturday, October 26 at Java Beach. We meet across from Java Beach where Judah ends at the Great Highway.

We are three weeks out from the Berkeley Half Marathon/10k/5k. For those doing the half, this is our last long run before tapering down for the race, so we should have at least 13 miles in mind. For those running the 10 k, I’d suggest 8-10 miles, it will give you the confidence to finish strong.

My highly accurate weather forecaster – my phone – says Saturday will be cooler than today, but I have my doubts. I live about 3/4 of a mile above Java Beach, and it was a scorcher at the beach today, and is about 80 degrees right now.

So some of us will be starting at 7:00 am tomorrow to get in a few miles while its cool and avoid finishing later in the day. If you would like to join the early birds, meet us at 7:00, and let me know if you’re joining us so we’ll look for you. We’ll loop back around to join the group by 8:00.

We’ll have routes of 6, 8,10 and 13 (or so!), aiming to take advantage of our beautiful fall weather – we’re one of the few places in California (or the world!) where fall is better than summer.
