Last Run of November

Last Run of November

Eleven months down, one to go to complete 2014.  We had a dozen or more runners show up this morning.  As promised, Lytle and Brian joined us from Chicago and it is always great to see them.  They are a delightful married couple who moved to Chicago a few years back.  We continue to hope that they may return in the future.

 

Next Sunday

December 7 is our annual blanket collection day for the homeless.  We invite all of you to join us and, if possible, bring a blanket for our less fortunate families and individuals.  I already have 10 blankets delivered to me through today.  Some are from our group who can't be with us next Sunday and some are from two other participating running groups.

 

Dave Berry confirmed yesterday that he will again be joining us next Sunday, when we will load the donated blankets onto his truck for delivery to the Coalition for the Homeless in downtown Orlando. Thanks, Dave, for your continuing involvement!

 

We urge you to please join us on December 7!

 

Bob's Back Yard in VT

Bob kindly sent me this picture of the first snowfall at his home in Woodstock.  This should serve as a refresher course for those of us who may forget what snow looks like.  Thanks, Bob!  It is a really pristine scene above.

 

Space Coast Full & Half Marathons

As reported last week, we have a healthy contingent of the group competing this morning on a picture perfect race day.  I was a bit of a space cadet on this one.  Yesterday afternoon I polled everyone whom I knew was running Space Coast.  Of course, I had the wrong day.  Everyone who responded was kind about my faux pas. Hopefully they will report in their results in due course.

 

Breaking news:  Dylan just reported in that he completed the Half with a very respectable time of 2:08.  Congratulations, Dylan!!  He also reported sighting David & Seth at the halfway point of their marathon efforts.

 

OUC Half Marathon

OUC runs next Saturday. Christine, (who pulled me through five miles this morning) will be working the OUC water stop at mile 2.  Those of us running the half include myself and the following:

 

Abby, Helene, Debbie, Mark, Sarah, Cheryl, Geralynn & daughter Jacklynn, Atif and John.  Have I missed anyone?

 

See you next Sunday!  Have a great week.

 

Jack
