Peak for a big winter race
Recover from a big fall marathon
Prepare for a better 2006 season
* How to take time off from serious training without losing fitness
* How to adapt your training schedule to difficult and varying weather
conditions
* Fun and effective treadmill workouts.
* Yoga, Pilates, Weights, Spinning, and other indoor cross-training
* Snowshoeing, X-C Skiing, and other outdoor cross-training

dark and ice
And anything else that comes up.

Input Requested to Expand Participation in Golden Running Club There
has been very low turnout for the Saturday at 6:30 a.m. runs in Golden
and the organizer would like to solicit your feedback on how
participation could be increased for these runs. Options include:
- Moving the runs to Sunday morning
- Starting the runs at 7:00 a.m. instead of 6:30
- Announcing routes in advance and possibly varying the starting location

Please contact Ron Benioff at rnbenioff@... if any of these
changes would induce you to participate or if you have other
suggestions. Please note that the runs are suspended for now until an
approach is
found to increase participation.

From Derek Griffiths:
"We are looking for volunteers for our Winter Distance Series races
(www.winterdistanceseries.com) on 12/10/2005, 1/14/2006, and
2/25/2006. Please email Jessica at Jessica@... if
you are interested. All volunteers will receive a comp entry to
another event that we put on
(www.coloradorunnermag.com/other/JDEvents.html) and will also receive
all goodies that the runners receive. Thanks a lot!"

On Jan 21-22, there's a 5-race, 2-day, trail event, near Bloomington,
IN. Indiana in January? Not my first thought either. However, this
looks really interesting.

The ChillyHilly is 5 trail races, of various distances, over 20 hours.
It starts with a 10k run on Sat afternoon, then a 4mi run that night.
On Sunday, there's a 5km, 10mi, and 1mi run, all before noon. Housing
(Sat night) and meals are included in the entry. You can do it as an
individual, or relay.

It would be fun to go with a group. Several people have expressed
interest. We would probably fly out Friday afternoon or evening, and
return Sunday night. Contact me if interested, adam@runuphillracing
