Also, don't forget to count your cross-training activity as miles. Here's the conversion chart:
Cross Training Mileage Conversions-
4 miles biking = 1 mile running
2 miles rollerblading = 1 mile running
1/2 mile swimming = 1 mile running
10 minutes pool running = 1 mile running
10 minutes stair climber = 1 mile running
10 minutes on an elliptical machine = 1 mile running
20 minutes of a soccer game = 1 mile running
30 minutes of a soccer practice = 1 mile running
10 minutes of row machine = 1 mile running
20 minutes of a basketball game = 1 mile running
45 minutes of normal basketball practice = 1 mile running
If you are a Trinity CC runner, I hope to see plenty of you throughout the summer!

Summer Road Races
Hello,
There are plenty of road races to choose from throughout the summer months.
Here is a great calendar from MDRA (Minnesota Distance Running Association) that you can use to search registered races in and around Minnesota: http://www.raceberryjam.com/mdraschedule.php
I encourage everyone to get out and experience road racing! It can be a great gauge of how your training is going and they are LOTS of fun with fans, food, t-shirts, and competition at all levels and ages.
I have listed a few races that are either favorites of mine or races recommended to me over the years.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Jesse
