Holiday Lights Run -- Runner Bill Sports -- Tuesday Night, 9 December

Anyone interested in doing the Holiday Lights Run from Runner Bill Sports (Midlothian Turnpike)? This is a 5-mile run -- not competitive -- and is a great way to see Christmas lights. Do dress so that you're visible - reflective gear, flashing lights, some have even rigged up Christmas lights to wear.

I'm running on Tuesday, 9 December, and would be very happy for folks to ride with me. I'll leave from John Rolfe Commons (our Wed/Sat meeting place) at 6:30 -- NO 5-MINUTE RULE. Leave a comment here or send me an e-mail at pobox dot com>.

Also, whether you're running Tuesday or Thursday night, send a note to Bill to let him know you'll be there. That way, you'll be entered in the drawing for free running gear -- I got a Nike bright yellow running shirt ($50 retail) last year.

3rd Annual Holiday Night-Light RUNS

Tuesday, December 9th and Thursday, December 11th at 7:00pm.

Please rsvp to Bill and let us know who will be joining us what night(s). Refreshments and random prizes will be provided both nights!

Run well, y'all,

1-Oct Run: Pump Rd 6/5 Miles

What better way to start a Wednesday morning (hump day) and a new month than a 10K run with a great group of people. Here's Todd Callis' e-mail about the Posse run on 1 October:

OK, I am going to try and ask this w/ a straight face... everyone up for another Wed run??... i say that b/c i have yet to make it to a run since we officially organized. I WILL be there this week tho, I have been freshening up on my clock math all week and my daughter will not get anything to drink after 5PM on Tuesday night!!

I know Clair is out this week, but hopefully everyone else can make it.

Tried to throw in a little bit of some new scenery, but its not too unfamiliar.. route directions are below.

I have a bid going on Wed morning, so if we want to push it a little earlier or leave right at 5:20 this week... that would be great.

Will see everyone (that includes me) on Wed!

E-mail from Todd Callis on Tuesday morning:

This is a post for the WEDNESDAY run from the John Rolfe ABC store, Kathy will be sending out the Sat info later. I am just going to do a mass email once, after this, we can get an email list going for WED so you dont have to get an additional email you dont need. We have a group that has been going for a while.. the Wed Morning Posse... most are now training for the Richmond Marathon. Right now its just me doing the less mileage but I think Lynde and Owen are going to start running as well. Lynde and I are in the 8:30 - 9:00 range and Owen is around the 10 or so range for paces. We will be running at 5:30 am sharp... when its 6 miles or more, we will run at 5:20am. Remember to bring reflective gear and/or your head lamps. Come on out, get that long mid-week run out the way early so you dont have to worry about it all day... its not as early as it seems!!
