Training

This week starts your 16 week training program for the Indy Mini, if you're running. Some go with a 12-14 week program too, but why prolong the inevitable? The weather is making it a little tricky to get your running time outdoors so thank goodness for treadmills, I think. I happen to have a TV in front of mine, well, only until the digital switch. I haven't purchased a converter box yet. Anyway, if anybody has any great tips for indoor training or surviving the outdoors, please share.

Saturday Runs

Hope you all enjoyed a very blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Leave a comment and let everybody know what your race agenda is for 2009. (i.e. I hope to run the April 18th 10 mile goal run unless I'm helping Mac, the Indy Mini, the B2B relay, Parlor City Trot, Fort 4 Fitness, and the WOOF, that's a huge agenda for me) What are your plans?

Also, if you read the comment in the last post, Joe from Fort Wayne I assume, wants to know if anyone is running Saturday mornings, 8-9 min pace, on the trails. He is wanting to run with some from the area. Leave a comment on that post in case he comes back to check so we know who would be interested. Thanks.

I assume many of you are getting ready for the Indy mini and ready to start training soon. Best of luck and hopefully the Club can get some more group runs planned. See you at the next meeting.

Meeting

Just a reminder that there is another running club meeting on Monday night at FPC at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you all there.

There has also been a group of us meeting to run on Sunday afternoons at Kunkle Lake at 2:45 p.m. There have been between 3-8 of us show up. It's been great and we welcome anyone else. It doesn't matter your speed or distance, it just makes it nice to show up and see somebody else out doing the same thing you are. Tomorrow might be a little chilly, but fun none the less. Bundle up and try it.

Black Friday deal

Hey all runners, in case you are interested I just saw that amazon.com is having a sale on Black Friday for the Garmin 305. I think the 405 is the newest and latest, but the 305 is still a great watch, so I'm told. The retail is around $250 and they are selling it for $150 on Friday. Just thought I would pass the deal on if anyone would be interested. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Update

I found out that the deer hunt in the park was on Monday and Tuesday and will be happening again on December 1st and 2nd so it looks like the weekends are safe. Hopefully some will be able to meet at the white bridge in the morning at 8:00 am, there are also a few meeting at Kunkle Lake at 9:00 am if that works better. There is a group meeting at Kunkle Lake on Sunday at 2:45 pm. All are welcome.

State Park deer hunt

I heard that the State Park is having their deer hunt this weekend. Just a little notice so you don't try to run in there. I assume they have signs up. Let me know if this is not correct. Remember, the group meets at the White Bridge Saturday mornings at 8:00am. I know of a few people that are probably showing up so the more the better.

W.O.O.F. Pictures

Make a Smilebox photobook

I put together a short scrapbook from the race today. When it first starts playing click pause right under the book so all of the pictures have a chance to load. You can also click pause on every page so you have time to look at the pictures. Enjoy!
