This Week's Runs - Week of September 17-23

Here are this week's runs. This week, we feature some runs that take advantage of the amazing summer we're having. Events listed here will also be posted as Facebook events in the Seattle Anti-Freeze Runners Facebook Group events page.

No Tuesday run this week. We're looking into ways to make this a more attractive event moving forward. Stay tuned!

Thursday, September 20, 7:00 PM:
Newbies Run - Social Thursday from St. Andrews Bar & Grill!
Newbs! Have you been thinking about coming to a run for a while, but just haven't wanted to commit? Perhaps you were worried about being too slow, or not knowing anyone? Or maybe you just have runner's performance anxiety??? Well fear not! This Thursday is devoted to YOU! All new runners are encouraged to come out and meet the group. We'll take a slow (as slow as you want!) pace around the lake, then meet back at St. Andrews after the run! Join us! Wear reflective clothing as it's getting dark! Meet at 7pm in front of St. Andrews. We'll run around the lake on the inside loop - counterclockwise! Looking forward to seeing all your new smiling faces!
Address: 7406 Aurora Ave N.

Saturday, September 22, 9:30 AM:
Saturday Morning Training Run from Gas Works Park
Hello runners! Pretty simple run this week. Meet at the east end of the Gas Works Park parking lot for a 6 mile run around Lake Union. If you don't want to do 6 miles, there are shorter routes available. This route is a favorite among many due to the great urban scenery and the fact that there aren't many hills. Brunch afterwards at Julia's in Wallingford if there is enough interest.

This Week's Runs - Week of September 10-16

Here are this week's runs. This week, we feature some runs that take advantage of the amazing summer we're having. Events listed here will also be posted as Facebook events in the Seattle Anti-Freeze Runners Facebook Group events page.

Tuesday, September 11, 7:00 PM:
Tuesday Track Workout at Roosevelt High School
Back to the track this week! For those of you who want speed work, we will do 400M repeats. For those of you who are easing back into running and don't want something quite as intense, we will have an option for just running around the track and getting some mileage in. As always, if enough people show up who want to run but don't want a speed workout, those folks will run to Ravenna Park and get the mileage in there. These will be moving back to 6:30 in the next couple of weeks, but it's still 7:00 for now.
Address: 1410 NE 66th St.

Thursday, September 13, 7:00 PM:
Thursday Social/Beer Run from Turnpike Pizza!
From Kristina, our fearless leader:
I HAVE MISSED YOU! After a ridiculous 8-week hiatus I am back and will be joining my lovelies this week, so I hope everyone comes out! The deets: Meet at TurnPike pizza at 7pm. It's getting dark, so wear those neon shoes and reflective vests! We're going to have to move back to the 6:30pm start soon too! We meet,run a lap around Greenlake (with inside and outside loop options) then back to Turnpike for some pizza and beers (and water, hydration is important!). See you Thursday! This is a fun group with fun people. Some of us run fast, some of us run slow, but everyone is super duper uper nice! Come on out to meet some new peeps and see some old faces!
Address: 6900 E. Green Lake Way N.

Saturday, September 15, 9:30 AM:
Saturday Morning Training Run from Green Lake
Greenlake is our starting point this week! If you're just easing back into running, your route is once around the lake. For those of you training for one of the half marathons (Seattle or Vegas), your route this week is the Zoo loop (~4.8 miles). Meet in front of Blu Water Bistro at . It's on the north side of the lake. It's also near the Ben & Jerry's.

This Week's Runs - Week of August 20-26

Here are this week's runs. Come take advantage of summer while it lasts! Events listed here will also be posted as Facebook events in the Seattle Anti-Freeze Runners Facebook Group.

Tuesday, August 21, 7:00 PM:
Tuesday Track Workout at Roosevelt High School
Meet at our usual spot at the Roosevelt High School running track. Our meeting spot is at the base of the green and gold "bleacher steps" on the north side of the field. Our speed workout will be 400M/600M/800M, full rest, then 800M/600M/400M. As usual, for those that just want to show up and run, you can do that as well. If enough casual runners show up, there are plenty of scenic routes in the area that you can run to as a group. Our formal training program for the Seattle Half Marathon and Vegas Rock & Roll Half Marathon begins the Saturday after labor day.
Address: 1410 NE 66th St.

Thursday, August 23, 7:00 PM:

Saturday Morning Run from Greenlake Starbucks
For this Saturday's run, meet in front of the Starbucks at Greenlake (7100 East Green Lake Drive N, at the crazy 5 way intersection). For those that just want an easy run, you can go once around the lake. For those that want more, longer routes will be available. Our "formal" training for the Seattle Marathon or the Las Vegas Rock & Roll Half Marathon starts in 2 weeks. If you can make it around Greenlake this weekend without stopping, you're on track. If you've always wanted to do a half marathon, now's your chance. We will get you across the finish line!

This Week's Runs - Week of August 6-12

Here are this week's runs. Sorry it's late this week! No Tuesday run, but Thursday and Saturday are business as usual. These will also be posted as Facebook events in the Seattle Anti-Freeze Runners Facebook Group.

Thursday, August 9, 7:00 PM:
Thursday Social Run from Murphy's Pub!
It's that time again - time for the Thursday Social Run! We've had LOTS of new people coming out lately (thanks for the assist sunshine) and all of you should join us! Meet at 7pm in front of the Murphy's Irish Pub on 45th. We'll run to the lake, around on the inside loop, and back to the pub.
Address: 1928 N. 45th St.

Saturday, August 11, 9:30 AM:
Saturday Morning Run from Discovery Park!
We haven't been here in a while, so let's run from Discovery Park. There will be plenty of different distance options, from just under 3 miles all the way to 7 miles or more. You choose! No matter which way you go, the view will be spectacular. Meet at the South Parking Lot. This is NOT the visitor's center! Point your GPS at 43rd Ave. W and W. Emerson St. The south entrance is right there, and the parking lot is about 1/4 mile up the road in the park. Give yourself a little extra time. It takes longer than you think to get there!
