  • I'll be out of town this weekend so ran a portion of the Raider Classic last night. It was just as bad as I remembered. May only sign up for the 5K. Will have to try it one more time before deciding. I'll be doing a fun run 5K down in Farmersville on Sat.

  • Cindy-want to meet at the school or hy-vee in the morning? I am willing to start at whatever time you think. I know it is supposed to be hot.

  • I won't be able to join you tomorrow. We have the boys overnight so I am going to run from here really early. Have a good one and don't go too late with this heat.

  • Karen-so sorry that I bailed on you Saturday-Tyler was having a crises. Who is planning on doing Raider Classic. I signed up a couple of weeks ago for the 10k but I am having problems with plantar facitis so not sure what I am going to do. Will see how running goes this week -may have to back off to 5k. I ran this morning and by 4 miles was having trouble. And it was HOT!!!

  • No problem Cindy, I understand. I plan on doing 10k n Angie has signed up for 10k. I am having lots of aches and pains also and haven't ran as much as I would like. I think I will stick with 10k and take it easy. It has been so hot, it makes it hard to run. I am getting concerned about running St Jude with the heat. Hope to see everyone Saturday.

  • I've decided not to do the Raider Classic. I'm thinking of doing a fall marathon and have been trying to up my miles to see how I do with these temps (see if I'm really committed to the training). It would be great if you all decide to do a full with me. I'm thinking ST. Louis or Indianapolis or Memphis, though you have to raise $550 to do Memphis because it's for St. Judes.
    Anyway, I could meet you all after if you're going somewhere. You'll probably be done with the run and awards by 9:30? Let me know.

  • Wow, Jean! Here you are ramping up and I'm wondering if I can just run a 5K. Not planning to try the 10K. So how far are you going in the morning??? Looks like Paul made it fine from your FB shots. Cindy - hope your plantar facitis issues are clearing up. Angie & Karen - planning to bring some money in the morning for you for St. Judes.

  • I was thinking about walking through the Arts faire in the park after we were done if there was anyone interested. We could do Thymes Square or Park Bench? When are the marathons Jean? I would really like to do another one, I'm just not sure I can commit to it right now and I don't think I can fake that training plan haha! See you guys in the am, wondering why I ever signed up for this 10k, Angie

  • That a girl Jean. I knew you had the itch! I am signed up for the half at the Quad Cities and could be talked into the full without too much effort if you have an interest in that. Check it out and see what you think. I'll warn you, the STL full is TOUGH. I am still on the fence for tomorrow and will decide when I get up in the morning so will go with the flow re: b'fast if I show up! Jeri

  • Foot and hip are flaring up but I have decided to go for the 10k and if gets to hurting too much will just hitch a ride back and have my first DNF. My running has been sporadic at best this summer. I think I am using Angie's program. Not sure if I can join you for breakfast-sounds like fun and I love the Arts Faire but Tyler is in town for weekend.

  • Did I understand that some people are planning to run the Cannibal route on Sunday? If so, I'm in. Jeri

    By Blogger Jeri, At June 27, 2012 at 10:01 PM  

  • Yes. Karen and I plan on running for sure early Sunday, not sure if there will be any other takers. I'm thinking early with the heat, 7 at the latest. Will c how early Karen wants to get up. You will be faster than us, I haven't ran at all this week. Angie

  • I say we meet at the statue at 7am! Anyone else want to join us Sunday?? I am crazy and just registered for a marathon!

    By Anonymous Karen, At June 28, 2012 at 5:57 PM  

  • Any takers on starting sooner than 7 am. It going to be a hot one!!!!

    By Anonymous cindy lou who, At June 29, 2012 at 5:49 PM  

  • I can't run on Sunday, so I guess I'll go it alone tomorrow. I don't know when we're ever going to all get together again! Hope it's cooler for you.

  • I'm with Cindy. I'd sure like to start before 7 on Sunday if anyone is willing. I bet it will be almost 90 by the time we hit the flat along the river. I'll watch the post to see. Good luck with your garage sale Angie. YOu can tell us all the funny stories Sunday. Jeri

  • I would be willing to do 6:30, I don't know if I can do any earlier than that.....Angie

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At June 30, 2012 at 2:28 PM  

  • I would do 6:30 as well. Just post a time for sure!

    By Anonymous Karen, At June 30, 2012 at 4:46 PM  

  • Ok 630 it is at the statute. It is going to be a hot one. How far are you ladies running. I will probably run less so I am done when you are. Between my foot and the heat my running has suffered terribly. Actually the heat is probably the biggest problem. Hydrate well. Angie how did the yard sale go?

    By Anonymous cindy lou who, At June 30, 2012 at 6:00 PM  

  • We ended up just short of $400! I have reached my required amount needed, so I let the other 3 girls split the money, they are still quite a ways from their $750. It was nice to get rid of all the junk in my basement, now I could actually pull my car in this winter if I need to. Ah....winter....snow....see you in the am! Angie

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At June 30, 2012 at 7:13 PM  

  • Sounds like you had a great sale Angie. Yea for getting rid of junk and meeting your goal. I will see everyone at 6:30 am at the statue. Jeri
