TUESDAY SPEED
Join us every week for speed work on trails. Look for a separate
e-mail, with the location, Mon evening, or Tue during the day.

This is for runners of all abilities. (The only exception is for
beginning runners or those coming back after a long lay-off. You
should build a good base, with lower effort, and gradually longer
runs, before you start doing speed work.)

The workouts are designed typically with the hard efforts on up hills
or non-technical terrain. The group stays in a compact area (e.g.,
short loop), so no one will get left behind. We run for time, starting
and finishing together.

++++++++++
THURSDAY RUN
Run Location: South Table Mtn. Meet at the NREL lot. The main group
will start at 6:15pm; the early group at 5:30pm.

Run notes: There should be a new map and route description up on the
web site by Wed. This is a fairly easy run physically, but the route
finding can be difficult. There are numerous social trails, no trail
signs, and few landmarks. If you haven't run here before, please bring
the map and notes with you. We will try to make sure that everyone has
a veteran to run with. There are not bathrooms or changing facilities
at the trail. The closest bathrooms are at the Denver West shopping
area (just the other side of I70), or the Marriott.

Reminder: Everyone is invited to join us for dinner after the run.

Thursday is May 3. Does anyone want to host a Tres de Mayo potluck party?

If you are new to DTR and unfamiliar with the trails, and for more

SUNDAY GOLDEN
Golden weekend runs are Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Meet outside Brooks
Field, CSM Stadium, on 12th Street in Golden, and run on one of six or
more different routes in the Golden area. All of the courses allow for
varying lengths (e.g. 6-14+ miles) and paces, depending on the
interests of the runners on that day. For further information contact
