Hi y’all,

We are about to get this thing kicked off! ARE YOU READY?  And by ready, I mean do you have 25 or 50 minutes carved out for a run Saturday morning?!?!  It’s a holiday weekend and realize there might be a light crowd, but if you’re in town…come out and join us.  We’ll do a little running, a little core work and a little talking about what’s to come.   Ric will be repeating this in the weeks to come and adding stuff in as we go.  I always try to recap it in my emails as well and will get any good stuff posted on the website.

And a little reminder…this group is entirely made up of runners, who happen to have families and jobs 🙂  They all volunteer their time to coach, develop the schedules, plan social events, negotiate awesome shirt prices, order/distribute awesome shirts, plan year-end parties, coordinate runs, manage the finances, create a website, lead core work, get up early to set water out,  coordinate volunteer opportunities and much more that I’m forgetting…all in their free time!  I’m only mentioning as we start off the season…because there will be things that might not be perfect, go smoothly or  timely!  Schedules might be incorrect occasionally, a route might have a wrong turn, water might run out, website might be down, and emails will have multiple typos….the list is endless.  While we don’t want any of these things to happen and it drives us nuts when it does…just pack your patience as we work through it and make changes to prevent it from happening the next time!

That being said…we are still working through some kinks on the registration/payment piece.  We just want it functioning properly before we add 100+ people to it!  But guess what? There is no lottery, you’ll all get in on this one!  So just continue to come run and when that piece is ready, you’ll be the first to know!  So when I said soft rolling start to the season, that meant every aspect….the runs AND all the details.

So here’s the scoop for Saturday – July 5th:

We’ll be meeting at Pearland Jr High South (Turner High School) track (4717 Bailey Rd, Pearland, TX 77584) :

6:30AM – Full Marathon (FM)– 50 minute run

7:00AM – Half Marathon (HM) – 25 minute run

7:30AM – CORE Workout Intro (BRING A MAT AND/OR TOWEL)

7:45AM – Intro from Ric

Route will be an out and back. You turn around at your own 12:30 and 25:00 spot.  We’ll run out the back of the track, right on MacLean, and then left on Magnolia.  (The next several weeks will be out and back routes like this, just from different starting points. This will have us all ending at the same time and help get CORE work going at the same time).

Also, if you want off of this email list…just let me know!  And if you’ve asked and you’re still getting the darn things…send me another note! I miss stuff occasionally 🙂

Let me know if you have any questions!  We all hope to see you Saturday – and if not this Saturday, the next or the next!

Happy Run y’all!
