illness, T-shirts,Special Sale, Results, Training, Back at SJJ
Well I'm on the mend after having the strangest illness I've ever had. Some sort of stomach flu bug that just is plain holding on. I'm fairly sure that I have it licked but after basically sitting on my butt for a week I'm really looking forward to getting out and about. I'm pretty sure that it will mostly be gone by tomorrow. Those of you who have been around the group know that I don't get sick very often so I don't have a lot of patients for that keep me down especially for a week.
I picked up the new long sleeve t-shirts this morning and will bring them with me tomorrow morning. The look very nice. A $5 donation would be appreciated to help pay for he silk screening. If you would like you can do that here or just bring it with you.
On November 11 Super Jock n Jill will be opening the store from 5-6 pm for Chuckit members for a special discount on all items. The discount will be 15% off. So if you're looking for some new shoes or gear hold on till then. They will be providing pizza and drinks as well.
We had several members in WA D.C last weekend for the Marine Corps Marathon all of who had great runs. From what I've heard it was a very nice day with a lot of crowd support and the course is marathon friendly. Great Job All!! (I know I need to post the times) This weekend there are a few venturing to NY City for that marathon so good luck to you and have a great race.
A lot of you are planning for marathons next spring. I want to mention that Chuckit members get a discount on entry for the Eugene Marathon in may. We had several people go down there last spring for the marathon and half many coming away with great things to say about it. This being the second year I would imagine it will be better with a year behind it.
At any rate schedules for that and many more races are posted on the training schedule page on the web site. If there is one not posted let me know and I can add it. Thanks to Patrick for helping me simplify the entry of these. If you have just run a marathon I think you can hold off a little bit as far as training for your next one. Having just done one gives you the background that you may not have had when you started training for the one you just finished. Allow time to recover mentally and physically. Now I'm not saying to just sit around and eat bon bons but you can keep it on the lighter side for a few weeks and like I've been saying work on your speed for awhile so that when you transition back into marathon training you've gained from the last time you started.
Next up is the Seattle Marathon and with it will be time to pull the plug on our Madison Park adventures. So our last run there this year will be on November 10th. So if you haven't ventured out on the bridge or run the last few miles of the course through the arboretum (especially those of you running the half) the next couple of weeks would be great times as your runs get shorter in preparation of the event. So on Saturday November 17 we will be meeting at Super Jock n Jill for our weekly long run.
