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:
Thursday Social Run event is TBA, but rumor has it this week's run will be from Die Bierstube.

Saturday, August 25, 9:30 AM:
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!
Address: 7100 East Green Lake Drive N

This Week's Runs - Week of August 13-19

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.

Tuesday, August 14, 7:00 PM:
Tuesday Track Workout at Roosevelt High School
This week, the Tuesday Track workout triumphantly returns. This week's speed workout is 400M repeats. There will be workouts for those that don't want to do full speed workouts as well. If you haven't run in a while, these workouts are actually perfect for you. You can run in a contained environment where you can stop if you get too tired, but you still get the benefit of meeting new, fun people! The weather is supposed to be fantastic, so come on out!
Address: 1410 NE 66th St.

Thursday, August 16, 7:00 PM:
Thursday Newbies Run 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! Meet at 7pm in front of St. Andrews. We'll run around the lake on the inside loop - clockwise! Looking forward to seeing all your new smiling faces!
Address: 7406 Aurora Ave N.

Thursday, August 16, 6:45 PM:
Alternate Thursday Run + Outdoor Movie from Magnuson Park
For anyone who is interested in joining, I'm watching Back to the Future at Magnuson Park this Thursday and planning on leading a short 3-4 mile run (route TBD) in the area beforehand. Come out for the run and/or join for the movie afterwards! There will be food trucks for getting dinner after the run and the movie is free (starts at dusk, bring some blankets or chairs to sit on). Note the slightly earlier start time.
Address: Burke Gilman Trail and NE 65th St

Saturday, August 18, 9:30 AM:
Saturday Morning Run from Gas Works Park
Meet at the east end of the main parking lot at Gas Works Park. We'll have 2 routes: An out-and-back to UW and back (~4 miles) and the Lake Union loop (6 miles). If you want more or fewer miles, we can accommodate you.
Address: 2101 N Northlake Way

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!
