Mid-Week
Runs/Walks: Currently, our Beaches TEAM
in Training group meets either Wednesday or Thursday. We also schedule
weekend workouts as we near our target events. When you are enrolled in
the Team in Training program, you will receive training tips and workout
notices about the Team get-togethers. Contact Coach Jakson or phone 285-1552 for
details of the day and location.
 | Some Wednesdays, we meet at 6:20PM
at the east end of the parking lot in Sawgrass Village Shopping
Village, just off Highway A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach. If you are coming
from town or the Jax Beaches area, this is along Hwy A1A and about
3.5 miles south of Butler Boulevard. This is also the parking lot for Publix Supermarket.
We start the run/walk at 6:30 and run in the neighborhoods of Ponte Vedra or to the beach.
Following the TNT workouts, plan to stay for refreshments or dinner at a
local restaurant to
discuss your training and upcoming activities. Be sure to confirm when
you receive a reminder of the week's plan. |
| Some Thursdays, we meet at 6:20PM at
the new City Hall park in Jacksonville Beach, between First Street and
Second Street on
Second Avenue, across from Campeche Bay Restaurant. We will start the run at 6:30 and can
run on the Beach (when it is low tide) or along First Street toward Atlantic Beach.
Following this run, plan to stay for refreshments or dinner at Campeche Bay to discuss
your training and upcoming activities. Be sure to call for last-minute
changes or details. |
Weekend Long Runs:
Our Beaches TEAM's long run is generally scheduled for Sundays.
If we do not confirm other plans for the Team, I
recommend the weekly group run on Sunday mornings at the intersection of Atlantic
Boulevard and First Street, Neptune Beach (next to Ragtime and the Sea Turtle
Hotel). This
paved course has water stops along the way and can be used to run 5, 6, 7, 10, or more
miles. When the tide is right, we can also run any distance on the firm, flat sand of the
beach. Be sure to show up a bit early to stretch and warm up. The group run leaves at 6:30
sharp. This is the run I enjoy each Sunday when I am in town -- and not
running in an event away from Jacksonville.
