Good Luck GA Half Marathon and Marathoners!

Hey everyone,

Publix GA Half and Full Marathon is this Sunday. We have a large group going, as usual. Beth, Ami, Roman, Joe, Wayne, Jim, Rahn, Alex, and Amanda. Anyone else? Oh yah, my 76 year old dad is running the half and will probably win the 75+ AG. I hope you all can stick around to meet him! He's a serious marathon veteran who started running before GELS, dry fit clothing, and so many varieties of running shoes. I still remember as a kid, watching dad squeeze out shoe goo on the soles of his shoes to make them last longer. I really didn't understand why in the world he wouldn't just buy some new shoes! LOL.

Speaking of veterans, please come to the expo at 4 pm on Saturday if you can to see Scott Ludwig speak. He has published 3 books and is an amazing runner and person.  He's the director/founder of the Darkside Running Club in Peachtree City.

The marathon weather looks like it's going to be on the warm side so wear next to nothing and drink plenty of fluids along the course. We aren't used to this weather so consider that.

If you aren't running the race this weekend, please comment or email me your running plans!!!

Happy Running!!

Weekend Running

Hello Everyone!

Congratulations to the Run the Reagan Half Marathon runners this past weekend! It was a lot of fun and the weather was absolutely perfect! Ashley Walsh finished in 1:36.10, 1st in the 25-29 AG and this was a HUGE PR for her! I finished in 1:38.31, 3rd AG, which was a PR for me for that course, and Rahn cut A LOT of time off of his PR and got his first sub2 half finishing in 1:59. Also, Mike Smith had a PR finishing in 1:52 and David C. was out there but forgive me, David! I never got your finish time. I saw you on the course though, and you looked like you were having a great race!

Also, Congratulations to Dena Cyr for a sub 4 finish, 3:58, on a warm day at the Myrtle Beach Marathon!

Thrill in the Hills Half and Full marathon is this weekend at Ft. Yargo. Anyone going?

Please let me know what your running plans are this weekend. Looks like the weather will be decent for running!

Happy Running!

Weekend Running

Hello everyone!

Some of us are meeting at 7 a.m. on Sunday at LMP.

Good Luck to Dena Cyr at the Myrtle Beach Marathon this weekend!

I'm running "Run the Reagan" half marathon tomorrow in Snellville. I didn't notice anywhere on the website that they had race day registration and you had to register in Snellville at Academy Sports. Well...even though Snellville is in the same county and no highway driving is required, it's still quite a drive. When I arrived, I found out that they did have race day registration for an additional $5. With gas and time take to go down there (although my son and I had fun because we hit the Panera Bread while there for a little lunch), I would have preferred paying the extra $5. Oh well, will just have to remember that next time. I really wish that websites would "spell it out" that you can register the day of the race.


Congrats to Ami Roach for yet another PR this past weekend at the Mercedes Marathon and 2nd AG with a 3:26 finish! I had a great time, as usual, pacing the 4 hour group arriving to the finish at 3:59.15 (clock time).  Fun weekend!


Have a great weekend!

Happy Running!

Hello Everyone!

Ami and I are headed to Birmingham tomorrow for the Mercedes Marathon on Sunday. I'm a 4 hour pace leader (3rd year!) which is always a blast and provides me with a good training run.

For those of you who know Lisa Martin, this is a message from her:

I wanted to see if anyone in the group would be interested in sharing a place in June for the Chattanooga Mtn stage race (June 15-17th). Sounds like it would be a lot of fun with 3 days of trail racing! Email me at sherakrun@aol.com or find me on FB (Lisa Brown Sherak Martin). Thanks!


We are meeting at 7 a.m. on Sunday for a longish run. Please join us if you can! We are meeting at LMP


Happy Running!
