I would like to begin the post with congratulating everyone on a VERY impressive run last night. You guys and gals did a fantastic job in the practice 5K! Everyone either finished under or around the 30 minute mark, which means you were running between 9 to 10 minute miles! I hope you all went home last night feeling very accomplished. Great job!

Make sure to take a look at the great runners from last night.

What’s in a name?

It’s time for a group name. If any of you master minds can come up with a creative name for our group, please post your ideas. We have recently been referred to as group 6, 4, and orange. Although these names are quite nice, they surely do not support any jazzy sounds. So think, think, think!

WOW! We’re hot like FIRE!!!

What a great run last night ladies and gents! As your group leaders, we were very impressed with your continuous efforts last night during the extended run. Although we scheduled to run 3 miles, you were all able to push yourselves to the next level and stayed together as a group, even if you didn’t have your normal energy ( hope the birthday girl is feeling better with her bronchitis ). We were very proud of your push at the end of the route, especially with the HILL!!!! Please let us know if we need to make any changes to our runs. It is you who needs to benefit from the training, not us. We are welcome to suggestions.

Please refer to the training log below for the rest of your running schedule for this week.

Running Route for June, 15th (week 3)

lzimmers — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:03:26 +0000

Sorry it’s been a while for a post ladies and gents, time has gotten away from me last week. We will be running a three mile route this evening that will take us out of the fairgrounds and into the park. We will be taking a drink break a little over the mile and a half mark inside the park. Then the run will continue out of the park’s entrance and will take us back to our starting point by using a path on 8th Street. Please let one of the group leaders know if you need any help. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU !
