November 20 Run

Today's Run  

We drew a good size group today (at least 16).  My sincere thanks to Wendy for pulling me through 12 miles.  Couldn't have done it without her.  We had a nice starting temperature but it went up pretty fast.

 

Wendy's NYC Marathon Finish

Hard to believe that this picture is taken at the finish line!! Congratulations Wendy.  We're proud of you!!!!!  Next time try to make it look hard!

                                                                

Off the injured list

Welcome back to Dede, Chris and Jeff after their "excused absences".  It's great to see you back on the road.  Chris and I ran last Wednesday morning.  He is traveling so he didn't appear this morning.  Dede will be ramping up slowly (if she follows my advice). 

 

Blanket Collection

It now looks certain that we will exceed the 300 mark on our blanket collection effort.  I picked up three more this week and we still have perhaps two dozen that are sitting out there.  Blankets already at the Coalition and in my garage total 280.  When we get a count from the Dawgs, Reedy School, Tri With Sway and lululemon, we will very likely meet our goal of exceeding 300 blankets!

 

Once again, thanks to all those who made such generous contributions.  We are lucking out time-wise, since the weather has not yet turned real cold.  Here's what my garage closet looks like.  I hope to make a delivery this week:

 

By the way, Consuela Lively, the young lady who operates triathlon training programs as "Tri with Sway"  delivered more blankets to Track Shack yesterday  and is then off the compete in the 2011 Ultraman competition in Hawaii.  This is a 3-day, 320 mile individual ultra endurance event which takes place on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Entry is limited to 40 participants and is by invitation only!!  It has been in existence since 1983.  You can check it out at:  http://ultramanlive.com/  It isn't designed for mere mortals!

 

Good luck to all of you running Space Coast next weekend. Please share your experiences with the group. And Happy Thanksgiving to all!  We can do some group therapy next Sunday, OK?
