Run Scheduled - Saturday, September 17 at 0630
From whymarathon.com...The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running. ~Author unknown, in reference to Ecclesiastics 9:11
The weather for Saturday is predicted to be stellar - a great morning for a run! The plan for Saturday is to meet at TBS to run the 8.25 loop, with an add on of additional mileage for anyone interested. We'll meet at 0630 at the Charlie Company parking lot. If you don't know where this is, let me know and I'll email you the details. Anyone can get on base as long as you have a photo id.
If you have any questions about this run, or any group runs, I'd love to answer those questions as well - email me at karenegyud@gmail.com.
Blessings,
Karen

Run Scheduled this Saturday - July 9 at 7:00 a.m.
After too long of a break, we will have a run this Saturday, July 9th. We'll meet at the church parking lot at 7:00 a.m. for a 5ish mile run. Hope you can join us!
Couple other notes...
- If you no longer want to received these emails, please let me know. I know we've lost a lot of families recently to other parts of the country, so I understand if you like to keep your email box cleared out. Also, if you know of someone else who would like to receive this info, feel free to forward it on to them.
- Bob H. is spearheading getting shirts made that have a message of grace and thankfulness for the gift of running. We'll get you more on pricing very soon - it will be very reasonable though. We are trying to get an idea of what sizes to preorder. If you are interested in a shirt, please shoot me an email with your size. It's not a commitment to order - just helps us plan a little better. I'm excited to already know what I'll be wearing at this year's MCM :)
Blessings,
Karen

Run Scheduled - June 4 @ 7:00 a.m.
Hope your running is going well - hard to believe that we welcome summer tomorrow.
Dave R. has agreed to head up the run for this Saturday so the meetup time will be at 7 a.m. in the church parking lot for a 5ish mile run.
Congrats to everyone who completed races during May - I know there were a bunch of them. But, I have to give a special shout out to Dave R. for his finish of the Cateran Trail 55 Mile in Scotland on May 21. Of course, 55 wasn't enough for Dave and he ran a special extra 3 to complete a 58 Miler...love your nav skills Dave!
Finally, my brother sent me this and I thought some of you would find the humor too. In the category of "A sentence that only a non-running marketing person would write..."
"The Orlando office participated in the 17th Annual Corporate 5k run on Thursday, April 14. The 87-degree weather was perfect for a 5k through downtown Orlando, with record participation from local companies and organizations."
Maybe 87 degrees feels better in Orlando than here?
Have a great rest of the week!
Blessings,
Karen

Run Scheduled - Saturday, May 7 at 7:00 a.m.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
We will do a run this Saturday, May 7th - we'll meet at Horizons at 7:00 a.m. for a 5ish mile run. Please email me if you have any questions about the run.
Congrats to Ed Atkinson on a PR at the Oklahoma City Half Marathon last weekend - in the cold and rain! There are a bunch of people doing 1/2 marathons (Marine Corps Half in less than 2 weeks), marathons and ultramarathons (Dave R. in Scotland!) in the next few weeks. I pray that God protects us all from injury and that we are mindful that He is the giver of our strengths and abilities and that we honor Him in all that we do. I'm thankful that I can run - may I never take that for granted.
This has nothing to do with running - but if you have young kids, there will be a concert at Horizons on Saturday night at 6 p.m. with Silly Norm and the Fun Bunch. It's just $3/person and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Check out www.sillynorm.com for more info.
Have a great rest of the week!
Blessings,
Karen

Run Scheduled - Saturday, April 16th at 7:00 a.m.
After what seems like forever, we will do a run this Saturday, April 16 @ 7 a.m. We'll meet in the church parking lot and set off for our 5ish mile run. Please let me know if you have any questions about the run.
I'm one long training run away from the Pittsburgh Marathon next month. This is my first time training for a marathon in the spring. Even though it was hard to get the miles in early in the training program due to weather, I have to say that it is much nicer doing the long runs in the 40-50 degree temps compared to what we get around here is August & September.
Hope you're enjoying your runs...I'll leave you with a couple quotes about running that I came across today:
"Finland has produced so many brilliant distance runners because back home it costs $2.50 a gallon for gas." ~Esa Tikkannen, 1979
"To a runner, a side stitch is like a car alarm. It signifies something is wrong, but you ignore it until it goes away." ~Author Unknown
"If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise." ~P.Z. Pearce
