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
