Running the week of October 27th

Hey there, runners! Welcome back, Marine Corp Marathoners. Everybody did really great and everyone crossed that beautiful finish line! Congratulations and GREAT JOB to Berinice, Cathy, Chuck, Ellen, Jerry, Kirsten and Tiffany.

You guys get to take a load off for a while. The rest of us, not so much! Here's what the week looks like:

Tuesday: Speed work with Chuck (how fast will you run, Chuck?) at Leon High at 6 p.m. Emma and I plan to run 3 miles around the track, join us for "non-speedy running" if you like.

Wednesday: I'm running at home - come over if you like.

Thursday: Meet at Tom Brown at 6 p.m. for 6 miles on trails.

Saturday: Meet at 7:00 a.m. at Bradley's for a 10 - 12 mile run out old Centerville Road. If you want more or less miles, its easy to do. . . . its an out and back. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer a cooler - we need three. And yes, I know its early and it might be dark, but we'll live. At least its nice and cool!

Sunday: Meet at Winthrop Park at 4:30 p.m. for 3 easy miles.

Running the week of October 13th

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to Aubrey and Vicky for a fabulous Chicago Marathon. Aubrey's time was 5:32:35 and Vicky's was 5:07:17. Fantastic times for first marathons, ladies!!! Have you got the fever yet!?

This is what the week looks like:

Tuesday: Speed work at Leon High. The Tallahassee Democrat is doing a story on TNT and is sending a photographer out to speed work to photograph this year's Disney team. Chuck has asked that TNT Alumni please also come and wear your TNT gear - singlets, T-shirts and/or hats. You might be in pictures, baby!

Note: Last week the schedule had a middle school game at Leon and it wasn't correct. If anybody has any information about a game at Leon on Tuesday's, please let us know so we can come up with an alternate plan. Thanks!

Wednesday: Meet at 6 o'clock to run the top loop at Forest Meadows twice for 3- 4 miles. Reminder: Kim Ortloff is speaking at Premier Gym at 7:30 Wednesday night on how to reduce, recover and prevent nagging painful injuries - looks like something we can all use!

Thursday: Meet at 6 o'clock to run 5ish miles at Tom Brown Park.

Saturday (revised): Meet at 7:00 a.m. at the Community Center in Southwood to run 10 - 12 miles in the neighborhood. I'm out of town this weekend, so John Rabba is Long Run Master. Please contact him and let him know if you can do a cooler. John's e-mail is rabbadabbadoo@aol.com

Sunday: Meet at 5 p.m. at Winthrop Park to run an easy 3 miles to the end of Trescott at back. Goofy people. . .this is what its all about! Running on tired legs!

The Countdown:
Two weeks
to Marine Corp
Thirteen weeks to Disney
