Hi, this is Debbie Boyle's coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 69,

My Broken Arm PR at the SF Marathon.

But before we get into that, I want to announce that the Mojo for Running first 5K program is now open.

I know most listeners are already well beyond that in their running career,

but maybe you have family or friends

looking for a gradual beginner program. I've got the beginner runner program for those who have not

ever run at all, who are really just starting out, and now the first 5K program for those who can

already run a half mile. You can go to the mojo for running.com website to learn more about it.

I have two more programs that are almost ready to launch.

They are the first 10K program and first half marathon program.

Both will be live sometime this month, November 2014.

I always say if you run long enough, you'll have an amazing number of stories to tell. And so this is one of those stories. My local club, run Tampa,

does at least one destination race each year. People nominate possible races and then the club

members vote. We do that about a year

or a little more than a year in advance so people can make plans. In the last several years,

we've done the Napa to Sonoma half, the Chicago Marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon, and next year

we'll do Boulder Boulder and the main marathon in half. This year in July, we did the San Francisco

marathon in half and a couple of weeks from now, we'll be doing the Space Coast Marathon in half.

If you'll be at the Space Coast race and you see some gray-haired woman in a run Tampa shirt,

there's a good chance. It'll be me. I'm doing the half and we've got

about 90 run Tampa members doing one of those races, so we'll be hard to miss. Anyway, about 40 of us

made the trip to San Francisco in July and I was especially excited to do that particular race
