We'll close out the month of February with a run this Saturday at 7:30 a.m. Can you believe it's the last week of February???? I know we all want spring, but I will try to focus on the fact that it's still FEBRUARY and it's supposed to be cold. :)
We currently meet up at Rodney Thompson Middle School. We'll plan on doing a 4 mile group run, and if anyone wants to go a little further, or needs to do a little less, we can work that out as well. If you have any questions about the group, like where Rodney Thompson is or how challenging the run is, etc., please don't hesitate to email me (karenegyud@gmail.com) or call (703.403.3388).
I was going to move the runs in March to 7:00 a.m. until I realized daylight savings time takes effect on March 8th - meaning that it will still be "darkish". I'll wait until April to move the time back.
Also, it's time to sign up for some races. Don't forget to check out the Charlottesville Half/Full Marathon and the Park Ridge 5K, coming up soon.
See you Saturday!
Blessings,
Karen

Great Run
We had a great run this morning. It wasn't windy - even though it was still a little cold out. We had a couple new people - way to go Christian!
I decided to take Dave up on the challenge of an extra 4 miles - which was more like an extra 5 miles. My legs are feeling it and I could really use a nap now, but it's great to be up to that mileage so early in the year. Of course, the first humid day will knock me back down!
Dave will be getting us some info on a volunteer opportunity at a race coming up in May.
Thought for the day...when you run, what is your mind focused upon? For me, running is usually a great time to clear my head, but sometimes, I can obsess on problems or negative thoughts - as simple as, "I can't do this, I can't run any further." A better way to use the time: Psalm 77:12 "I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds."
Blessings,
Karen
