Hi Folks,
For those who've been reading my emails for a while, I've always suggested that you run at your own risk. If da Mudda doesn't want to cooperate with your running, then take the day off.
Well, at tonight's recovery, we came to the conclusion that, because of the temperatures and wind chill factors for this Saturday morning (01/19/08), we decided to cancel the organized run. This is somewhat of a disappointment, because it's the first week of marathon training.
Second, as I mentioned in previous emails, next Thursday is movie night. The movie "Spirit of the Marathon" will be playing at Showplace 16 on East State Street. We will be meeting at Gerry's Pizza (on East State Street, next to Atlanta Bread Company) for recovery (dinner) at 6:00 pm. I'm planning to call with our pizza order early so that dinner will be ready at 6:00 upon our arrival. So, if you want to join us for pizza before the movie, please let me know so that I can order adequate pizza. I'm not sure about the cost. We usually split the check among the folks that are there.
Questions?
"Around mile 24, I ran into one of the girls again. She seemed to be struggling. I think we were all struggling a little by that time, but without words, she just grabbed my hand...for just a moment. I told her that she was almost there and that she was going to make it. So
many times I wanted to quit, or at least let my group run ahead but they would not let that happen."
