mid season notes

Throwing my coach's hat on, I am proud of everyone progressing and I will throw out a special nod out to Jess for putting up 40 in a week and jumping in to the sub 2 hour half club for the first half of the year.

In an effort to promote safety by me messing up to prove a point, do NOT run down College Hill Road when it's raining.

Due to this, I took a week off and now understand what a taper kind of feels like; antsy to run again, and having fresh legs for the first run back.

Looking forward to my first trot around Boston with the albino Kenyan himself, Pat Henderson this weekend.

The Decision

Providence

Trophy Case

It appears that some of us will be taking our talents to South Beach as the Miami Marathon (http://www.ingmiamimarathon.com/ for Pat) will be hit with our diversified team as I believe the 5k, half, and full will be represented by the team. Less than 7 months away...

It's been ages since I've written here but in that time, I have been logging easy miles on the treadmill at the gym to save my knees from Providence's "paved" "sidewalks". I have saved some long runs for Providence: one with our ringer, Pat, and one for the heck of it as it rained today. If it wasn't for my knees, I would love to keep taking people over to the view of Providence or traverse the Blackstone park.

Balancing the books for the first half of the year, it's clear to see that this team prides itself on one thing only: awards per race.

Firefly 5k awards with Poland Spring's southern cousin, Ozarka:

Firefly Run 6/4/11

Texas heat + Night time 5k + glow sticks = "fun" non-PR run.

TRC T's

The new screen printed T's are in and I gave them to Knapp and Tang to dispurse amongst everyone.
