Hi Gang!

Here are the routes for this Saturday's run. Please meet at Center Court Fitness Club at 8am up in the lobby. If you can make it a little before 8, we'll be sure not to leave you behind!

It's going to be a beautiful morning for a run. No "it's too cold" excuses allowed!

Happy Running

CONGRATS!

Kudos to Denae, Shanna, Dave, Bill, Kathleen, and the newby Chris for braving the cold this morning!

I have to admit, I had it in my mind that no one would show up ready to run outside today, but much to my surprise (and delight), I found out just how dedicated you guys are. It's very motivating. Thank you!

Next week, Center Court at 8am. Enjoy your weekend.


Happy Running!

Saturday's Run...

Runners,

Saturday is looking to be a little on the chilly side (forecast of -13 for 8am). I will let you decide for yourself if you want to run outside or in.

If you do choose to run indoors, RRR-GF is very thankful of Center Court and the YMCA for allowing us the use their facilities for days like these. Let's stay on their good side by following the rules:
If possible, try to avoid the busy time (8am to 10am, noon to 3pm) I would ask that you either run early in the morning or late afternoon so we don't upset the members of either gym.

If you need a gym pass, please call or text me...you should all have my contact information.

If you are running outdoors, here are the routes. Full marathoners, I will have you follow the same course as 1-10-09:

I will be at the YMCA tomorrow morning at 8am for those of you who want to pick up gym passes from me. I will also run outside if there is anyone wanting to go.


Happy Running!

Nutrition Presentation

Thank you to Denae Grove for her great nutrition presentation last night!

Denae gave some great information about staying hydrated and fueled during training. She talked about the best way to fuel before, during, and after a run, and gave some great information about sports drinks and energy bars/gels and how they can sometimes be overused or not used properly.

I have some extra hand-outs from the presentation in case you were not able to make it. I will bring them to Saturday's run.

Have a great week of training and I will see you at 8am on 1-24-09 at the YMCA.

Happy Running!

Proud

Runners,

I want to send out a big THANK YOU to all of you for making this running group SO MUCH FUN! We have an AMAZING increase in numbers from last year, and that makes it such a great experience for everyone.

I sat around observing after the run and was so pleased to see that friendships are forming, connections are being made, and the "bonding" is starting to happen. I hope we can continue to inspire and motivate each other to keep us going for the next 16 weeks.

Congrats to all.

Happy Running!

Routes for 1-17-09

Hi Runners!

We will be meeting at Center Court at 8am on Saturday, January 17th. Please meet up in the lobby a little before 8am so we can get organized and out the door on time.

Follow the links below for your routes. Please make sure to check them out so you know where to go on Saturday. So far, we've been able to stick pretty close together, but in case you lose the group, be sure you know where you're going.
