Me again
First of all, I need to congratulate our girls Cathie B and Nancy D-I on successfully completing the Richmond marathon in less than ideal conditions. And Kate A from Richmond too! She was one of my first running partners...now that she's done a marathon, does that mean I have to?
Also congrats to Pam and Kate S for successfully completing the Richmond Half-marathon...It really did bring a tear to my eye to see you both finish. I'm so proud.
As for the hearty 8k folks....Ellen (Cheetah,) Eileen (6.2), Trish (Cheeze )and MA (Whiz)?? all placed in the top 15 in their age groups. Amber took massive time off her previous runs and set a PR, Audrey, Andrea and Mimi also set pretty high standards for themselves, Amy and Jim had a great brother-sister bonding time, and I did ok too.
Apparently, One More Mile had the shirt I want at the expo and I never saw it. It says, "My sport is your sport's punishment". I have to get one.
We're back to 10-miler training this week and I plan on an 'easy' seven miles with Group 4. I just hope the route isn't a killer.
Next week is Thanksgiving and we're planning on meeting for a run if you're not doing the Turkey Trot. Time, location, and distance to come later. I'll try and post info next week.
Happy running.

One more week before Richmond
The Shelter run was festive...especially since it was the morning after Halloween. I learned that candy is not the best pre-race training meal.
Our pal Dena tells us there is a 5k in Greene this Saturday (11/8) to benefit the school programs. Here's a link:

Next weekend (11/15), many of us will be in Richmond for the 8k, half-marathon, and marathon. I'm doing the 8k and then sticking around to cheer on Pam, Kate and Patty in the half and Cathie in the marathon. Plus, whoever else I know that's running.
But this week is 10-miler training. I hope the rain isn't as bad as the first week, but we won't know until we get there. Looking forward to 6 miles with Eileen...an by 'with' I mean many, many minutes behind Eileen.
See you Saturday
