June 29th Run

Today's Run

Our run today completes the first half of 2014! In the coming months we will have a lot of people training for a wide variety of fall and winter long races.  In that vein, I goofed on the last schedule.  I had Seth running two races which he is not planning to do:  Steamtown and the Inlet Harbor Half.  Will the real owner please claim these races??  An updated schedule is attached.

 

Today's turnout of 14 or so runners braved a starting temperature of 79 degrees.

 

Chatter from the crew

Jeff reported a successful completion of a 150 mile bike ride in Minnesota for which he raised $1500 for MS.  He also became a grandfather with the birth of grandson Lucas Hyson on June 17th!  Congrats, Grandpa, and welcome to the club. Jeff is still fighting some nagging injuries.  Hope to see you soon, Jeff!

 

Additions to the long race schedule

At this point we have at least 10 of us planning to run 20 different races through next January. Seth accounts for a half dozen of these races!

 

Barbara reports that she is joining Rose to run the Lighthouse Loop Half Marathon at Ponce Inlet in October.

 

Abby reports that she has joined Marathonfest and plans to tackle three long races:

(Disney Wine & Dine, OUC Half and the Disney Marathon).  Please pace yourself Abby!  You are biting off a lot.

 

If I have missed anyone, please let me know!

 

Next Sunday

I will be in Jackson Hole WY running at an elevation about 7000 feet, likely with a 40 degree temperature!  .Will miss seeing the crew, but not the heat!

 

Have a great week.
