RANDY ACCETTA WANTS YOU TO JOIN HIM FOR A TRAINING
RUN UP “A” MOUNTAIN. BUT THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE!
RANDY

Want to get ready for the “TMC Get Moving Tucson” Half-Marathon, featuring “A” Mountain?  Then join Randy and the Southern Arizona Roadrunners any Monday night.  Groups will leave from Meet Me at Maynard’s at 5:45 and 6:00 pm…look for the “A” Mountain folks. The route from Maynard’s is almost exactly 6 miles-you can view it here. We’ll start at Maynard’s and go straight west on Congress about 1.5 miles to the road up “A” Mountain.  We’ll go up and down, then back along Congress and finish at Maynard’s.
You can go farther or shorter as you wish.

RULES OF THE ROAD
* Bring water, wear bright colored shirt, bring a flashlight
if you will be out past 7:00 pm
* Watch for traffic on “A” Mountain – stay outside the white lines,
run facing traffic when possible.
* The route is counter-clockwise, so for the final
360-degree loop you will be running with traffic.
Watch for cars…run defensively!

Training Tips:
If you’re worried about being able to do the whole thing,
give yourself three weeks to complete the whole route.
1. In Week One, turn back at Cuesta and Belle Vista Street,
part way up the hill (about 4.0 miles total).
2. In Week Two, turn back at the split in the road (about 5 miles total).
3. In Week Three, complete the whole top-of-the-mountain loop.

ARE YOU 50 OR OLDER?

RTA

READY FOR A NEW JOB? This might be for you.

READY TO SIT ON THE COUCH AND GET OLD? Not for you.

Are you age 50 or over? Would you like to live younger longer?

Are you ready to commit to a lifetime of exercise, responsible eating (no diets allowed) and community. That last part means you can’t do it alone. You just gotta share your goals with someone, and support others.

Are you willing to be accountable for your commitment to being stronger longer?  Want to keep an online journal and share your success?

Yes?…Then we want you to join our over-50 fitness movement!!

“Rock the Ages” is free and coming to in October, brought to you

by the creators of MMM and sponsored by

Blue Cross Blue Shield and TMC Healthcare.
