The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Sunday, February 10th, 2008
Posted by Craig Hill @ 08:32:57 am

Hope you read today's story about Bobby Goddard and his family. Goddard is battling tongue cancer and his family is putting on the Live Love Run! in his honor Saturday at Point Defiance Park.

If you are fit enough to run the 10K you're probably fit enough to train for the May 10 Tacoma City Marathon.

Here is a 16-week training guide provided by race organizer Paul Morrison. Jump in at week 3 and get running.
