Hi Folks,
Note to self...Sorry for the very short email. Things have been hectic around here. But I wanted to get something out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAVE RUN…
Send me your favorite Youtube video’s, stories, and photos of moments, experiences, places, or people that you feel we can enjoy reading about in the BG email.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard from a few late BG’ers with their New Year’s resolutions. Both of them are going to make it a point to show up for our runs. One of them already broke their resolution.
The following message/video link was sent it from a BG’er.
May Your New Year be as great as the photography and thoughts in this video:
I Promise You Will Love This.......Turn on your speakers and enjoy...

I take back all the nasty stuff I’ve said about da Mudda (Mother Nature). I visited Rock Cut this morning for a loop around the lake. Perfect.

Rockford Half-Marathon next May…
The date is May 20th, 2012.
Training starts the end of February.
And just because my notes will reflect the training for the half-marathon, not everyone who shows up for a run is running the half-marathon. So, come on down for a run at whatever your pace and/or distance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t forget, the Crazy Legs race next April is on the calendar.
The date is April 28th, 2012. Registration opens after the first of the year. I’ll keep you posted.

Remember, the BG is on Facebook. The link to the group now is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/3R-Buddy-Group/113136022536.
The dates and activities for the next month or so should be out there. So, look for some information there. And go ahead and write on the wall. Let others know about your running adventures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you need information about a run or location, feel free to give me a call at 815-222-1280.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to share any ideas for a run or recovery; if you'll be venturing to a distant race and you want to car-pool with some folks; or if you're training for a race and you want a training partner, pass the information onto me and I'll send the word out to others.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
