Running The 10K at NCM
The National Capital marathon weekend is being held downtown May 29/30 2011.
Please consider registering at their site. The is a fabulous event and it always sells out. Register now if you wish to join us. We will be running the 10K this year. So far Jacob, Gustavo and the coach are running. You may also do the 5K if you wish.
10k requires preparation, you cannot just show up and run. Also, please note that long distance running can be detrimental to soccer unless it is done in interval training mode, so that is what we will do. Soccer on a big field requires great fitness, so thus will event is great spring preparation.
