1:1 Group Leader Update for 1/28/2012

What a difference a week makes! My foot feels sooo much better than it was. Ice baths, aspirin and rest is working really well. I will be out Saturday for 4 miles on foot or 12-14 miles on my bike. (It will probably be on my bike as I'm really enjoying the whole no pain thing!) Anybody that is running the Rock and Roll half is in a taper mode doing 8 miles. The Princesses and Pirates (Gasparilla folks ) have 14 and 13 miles respectively. It looks like the cooler mornings are continuing this weekend, looks to be in the high 40's low 50's for our jaunts around TT. Softball tryouts were this week and there is nothing like having to cut 16 players from the ranks. Catch 22; thrilled to have 36 girls coming out for the team, stinks to have to tell 16 they didn't make it. (Especially the ones that DID play last year). I love my jobs, life, .... See ya Saturday, "hollar back"

12MM Group Leader Update for 1/28/2012

Wow almost the end of January!!!    This week in TT, we will be tapering for the  Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon.   We will be running 8 miles or so, depending on what everyone wants to do.    We could NOT run around Fowler and get a bit over 9 or just do the 8 mile loop.    I am all for 8 miles, I hurt my neck on Tuesday morning at the gym, so I may be “stiff-necked” on Saturday.  I am hoping that it goes away and with enough IBUPROFEN it seems to be getting better.

My son’s 18^th Birthday is Sunday.   It seems hard to believe that he is that old.      It seems like only yesterday I was trying to make him give up his blanket and stop sucking his finger (no thumb, index finger in mouth, with blanket hiding the whole thing)   He was 8 before he gave that up…..seems like yesterday!

See you all at 5:50am, same place!

12MM Group Leader Update for 1/21/2012

I can’t believe I forgot to write the email.   I am so sorry.   We have had issues with our Hot Water heater, so I have been taking luke warm/slightly cold showers each morning.     I put the blame there, who can think straight when you can’t get a decent shower!!!

We will meet at 5:50am and do the 10 mile loop which gets us more like 11 miles.    We did the same loop last week and it felt really good.   I believe that the people who are doing the Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon have all run a half marathon before so as long as we get 11 miles we should be fine for race day!

See you all out there on Sat.

No Name Running for 1/21/2012

We can talk about running, which we will do at 6:00AM on Saturday, but we really need to talk about breakfast.  Be ready to meet at Einstein’s at 8:00AM to celebrate all the great halves/marathons/goofiness this month and to catch up with our nearly-parental friend Amanda.  It was a little light last week with all the post marathon recovery, combat training week-ends and other stuff going on.  I hope we can all get out there.

That said – I decided to jump in to the Clearwater half marathon on Sunday.  It will be a good long run preparation for the RnR marathon.  So I believe I will join you at 6:00AM with Kuma in tow for a run to the college, take her home and return for breakfast. 

A reminder that the NY Marathon Lottery is open for next year if you want to try your luck (it will cost you $11).

Chicago Marathon registration opens on February 1^st and Marine Corps on March 7^th.  With the popularity of marathons these days, if you are considering any of those you should be prepared to register the day they open.

Now for a little inspiration – I had the pleasure of seeing “Murderball” last week- a.k.a. Wheelchair rugby.  A lot of you wanted to know what it looked like.  Here you go:

Happy remainder of the week – please respond with your plans.

12MM Group Leader Update for 1/14/2012

Hello fellow runners!!!

Since last week we did 8, let’s get 10 in this weekend, that way, the following weekend we can arrive a bit earlier and get 12 in and be ready for the Rock n’ Roll Half.

I hope all of our Disney people did well!!!    I can’t wait to hear all of the stories.    I am so glad the weather cooperated.    I can’t tell you how many times we ran Disney and the weather was SO COLD, I couldn’t feel my feet at the start.  It was like running with cement blocks on your feet.   I can remember hiding in a port o’ john just to stay out of the wind too!!!  Now that is bad.   THE WORST TIME though – Iris and I didn’t run Disney but went out to cheer, let me tell you, there is nothing worse than NOT running in the cold.   We froze our pitooties (sp) off!!

See you all Sat.   Make sure to let Beth and I know if you are going to come!!!

CONGRATS to all the Disney Marathoners and Goofites this past week-end.  I’m looking forward to hearing about the races on Saturday. 

Good luck to Naty and Linda in Houston Sunday – I know you guys are going to tear it up,  You are well prepared to take on the course.

Pencil in the 21^st for a good luck breakfast for Amanda – the 8 month mark is nearly upon us.  Time is going by fast and the baby Gilmor will still be here.

I’m assuming with all the races, we are all going an easy 10 Saturday – text me if there are any other plans.

I will be AOL Saturday – we’ll be at the airport saying goodbye to our middle child as he returns to Japan. I am hoping to make it up Sunday f anyone is interested.

With Linda and Naty tapering for the Houston run there may be sparse attendance at Temple Terrance, so RSVP if you are coming out so we can get you hooked up.
