Route Change this Saturday, January 23

January Mileage

January 23 - 20 miles 

January 30 - 12 miles

Please take note of the following route change this Saturday, January 23:

* We will start the run on Main St. at the Ventura River Bridge as usual but instead of running up the coast, we will run south to the state beach.  The turnaround will be at the San Pedro St. park entrance. 

* Running back to Main St will give us five miles.

* Using caution, run across Main St at the foot of the bridge and run east (facing traffic) to Olive St., turn right on Olive St.

* Watching for cars coming off Hwy 33, cross the offramp and continue along Olive St to the Ojai Bike Trail entrance (about a half mile from the bridge).

* Continue north on the bike trail pass Foster Park and backside of Casitas Springs.  North of Casitas Springs, after the trail emerges alongside Hwy 33, there will be a trailer park on the left. 

* Turn around at the entrance to the trailer park. 

* Run back to Olive St.  The total mileage on the Ojai Bike Trail will be about 14.5 miles.

* Walk back to Inside Track to cool down.  Total running miles will be 20.

January Saturday Runs

After the 16-miler last Saturday, we get back with the posted calendar with a 12-miler for everyone, including post-SBIM participants who should be fully recovered, in preparation for the LA Marathon on March 21.

The mileage for the remainder of the month are as follows:

January 23: 20 miles

January 30: 12 miles

As always, with the longer miles come a possible compromising of your immune system. So be mindful of crowds and sick people. Also, eat adequately healthy food, hydrate and get ample rest.
