February 19

Sunday, February 19 Run:

We had a good turnout of some 18 runners today with the temperature hovering around 70.  It was great to have Mark back for the first time in a while.  Also Luis' son joined us from Jacksonville.

 

Run Around the Pines 5K

Looks like at least seven of the group did the Pines 5K yesterday.  Cheryl turned in a respectable 22:30 chip time, and Bob placed third in the 75 age group with a sub-30 pace!  Also saw Barbara, Sarah, Debbie and Liz 2 out there.  Liz showed up on her bike to take roll call!

 

A British Invasion

We are expecting Marina Odey on March 25. She plans to run an April Marathon in the U.K.  She will be coming all the way from Davenport, so I surmise that this one is dicey.

 

From Robbie Sargent:  "I am a 39 year old Brit, from Milton Keynes (just north of London) and am training to run the inaugural Milton Keynes marathon on 29 April 2012. This will be my first marathon.

I am on holiday in Orlando with my wife and kids from 31 March to 14 April, and wondered if I could join you on Sunday 8 April for a run? Just to give you an idea of pace, I ran the Bedford Half Marathon in December 2011 in 1 hour, 55 minutes."

Seth:

Good luck to Seth who is competing today and next weekend:
