Hey
Hard to believe we are getting ready to start the summer session already!! This is a great time of year because we will get to reconnect with many returning veterans and get re motivated with new goals for fall races. All of this on top of being injected with a lot of enthusiasm that only new runners can bring.
Along with all the excitement that comes from reconnecting friends making new ones comes the responsibility of breaking in these new runners in. So please as you are taking time to introduce yourselves around, welcoming back old friends and making the newbies feel welcome, please be sure you are doing so safely. Also please help the group leaders to keep the group running single file against traffic and moving smoothly through the water stops.
Most of you will remember that this time of year the mileage is all over the place, especially for the first few months, some of it will be very short for most of you, so bear with us as the routes will reflect this. One last housekeeping item, please be keep an eye open for any runner you see that may be struggling and let one of the group leaders know so we can check them out.
ODDS N ENDS:
Please be sure you have signed up for this coming session of MarathonFest, we can only keep you on the Group Mail list for so long before we will have drop you from the mailings.
As you know what race you are running this fall let me know so I can put you on one of the Marathon Counters. We have two marathons a lot of people in the group are targeting this session. The first is The Houston Marathon January 15, which is where the Olympic trials will be held, it should be a fun time with a number of our group eying this as their early Winter Goal Race. Talk to Ruthie, this her backyard she has all the info! The other race that we already have a good number of our runners signed up for is the Savannah Rock N Roll Half and Full Marathon Nov. 5.
Ray and I will be out this weekend so Ruthie and Krystal will be helping Jeri out, we are looking forward to great Summer/Fall session.
