Hi Folks,

Couple of nice days to start the week; then the rain returns: Wednesday 12 pm on, so our Wed am workout will not have rain; Thursday rain all day, but 9-12 is light which could work for those who are running or cycling Mt. Tam RRGrade at that time; Friday has rain all day, but is light 9 am – 12 pm; Saturday workout will have not rain after very early am; Sunday looks good also.

12/30/25. TUESDAY. TEMPO run at 10K – 10M race pace effort, i.e., high aerobic but controlled effort to simulate steady non-stop running as in a race. After mile warm-up: pick it up for 22 minutes without break to take advantage of the good weather.
