Run Scheduled - Saturday, December 19th @ 7 a.m.

Hard to believe, but we'll have our last scheduled run of the year, this Saturday, December 19th at 7 a.m.  I was going to call it a Jingle Bell Run, but then I got concerned that someone may show up with jingle bells on their shoes, and wouldn't that be fun to listen to for 5 miles?  :)

Anyways, we'd love to have you join us.  We'll meet at the Horizons Church parking lot and run for about 5 miles.  If you have any questions, you can email me at karenegyud@gmail.com.

Run Scheduled - Saturday, December 5th at 7:00 a.m.

We'll meet up this Saturday, December 5th at 7 a.m. in the Horizons Church parking lot for a run - should be around 5 miles.  If you're new to the group or have questions about pace, ability, etc., please email me at karenegyud@gmail.com. 

By the way, blogger seems to have gotten rid of spellcheck, or I just can't find it, so please forgive any spelling errors I may make.  I'm so used to the security of spellcheck, I'm not used to paying attention :)  If you're familiar with blogger and know where this feature has disappeared to, please let me know!

Turkey Trot - Nov. 26th

We had a great run last Thursday for our 2nd Annual Turkey Trot.  Thanks to everyone who came out.  As you can see, it was a little foggy!  And thanks to Dave & Patty for the pictures.

2nd Annual Turkey Trot - 11/26 @ 7 a.m.

2nd Annual Turkey Trot

Thursday, November 26th @ 7 a.m.

Come meet us at the Horizons Church parking lot for a 5 mile run on Thanksgiving morning.  There are no prizes, mile markers, water stops, t-shirts or registration fees.  This is just a fun run to start the festivities of Thanksgiving Day.  Bring your friends and family and burn some calories to prepare for the feasts laster in the day.  Email karenegyud@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Run Scheduled, Saturday, Nov. 14th at 7 a.m.

We're finally scheduled to run again! We'll plan on meeting this Saturday, Nov. 14 at 7 a.m. in the Horizons Church parking lot. Depending on who all comes out, we may once again split to do a 3 mile group and a 5 mile group.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for Thanksgiving morning for our 2nd annual Turkey Trot. By my calculations, the run will cancel out the calories of two pieces of pumpkin pie. Now isn't that worth it? We'll meet at 7 a.m. so you'll have plenty of time to get home to watch the parade, cook, eat, nap, etc.

Huge kudos to Dave Robertson and Bob Hagan on their finishes at last Saturday's Mountain Masochist 50 mile Trail Run. You guys amaze me.

Here's praying that the weather is better by Saturday morning (supposed to be)! Look forward to running with y'all again!

No Run Scheduled for 10/31

I originally planned on having a run scheduled for this Saturday (10/31), but I'll be out of town at the end of the week and won't be back into Stafford until the wee hours of Saturday morning.  So, I'll let y'all know if the next run will be 11/7 or 11/14.  Don't forget that there will be a run on Thanksgiving morning again this year.

Congrats to all of the finishers of the Marine Corps Marathon.  I am so impressed by the job that MCM does in putting together a fantastic event.  You have to be okay with crowds to love this event, but there's nothing like running through large, cheering crowds and having our men in uniform stationed along the entire course.  I could go on and on about the flyover at the beginning, well managed water and food stations, very friendly participants, etc., etc.  The weather was fantastic too!

As I continue to relearn how to walk down steps, I look forward to getting back out there and planning the next event.

Happy Running!

Blessings,
Karen
