Week 2 - What Happened to Our Leaders..!!


No Danielle or Tim this week so just a basic post.  Danielle had a work committment, while Tim was in the thumb celebrating reaching 50.  Numerous stand-in leaders who I am sure did a great job.

Hopefully back to normality next week.

Couple of changes to the group.  Lori Hennessey and Candy Keaser have moved to 3:1's and Jackie Sovell has joined us.

Here are the instructional tips for this week:



Clothing – Dressing appropriately

  • Cotton is rotten: 
    • Need wicking shirts, shorts, undies, bras and socks 
    • Watch seams that could cause chaffing 
    • Wash clothing before wearing to reduce chaffing 
    • Good shoes – get properly fit, best place to do that is at a running/walking store 
  • 20 degree rule: 
    • Dress as if it is 20 degrees warmer than actual temp 
    • Pay attention to temperature from time of start to time of finish 
    • Layer clothing so you can remove pieces and keep running
  • Chafing: 

    • Nip guards and bras, men – avoid team "11" 
    • Glide, Asics Chafe Free, Pro Tec Liquid Nipple Protectors – use for prevention of chaffing and blisters

Last point - we need a group name!  Get your thinking hats on - something (vaguely) relating to 8.

See you next Thursday!

Tim
