Hi Folks,
Note to self…Sorry for the delayed email. Yesterday was President’s day. Which means…an abbreviated email. Some of you can stop clapping.

RAVE RUN…
<this space left intentially blank as no one has a 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This link to an article came across my desk. Interesting stuff…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we switch the clock ahead in about 6 weeks, we’ll start venturing to new paths around the area. Ideas are always welcome.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rockford Half-Marathon next May…
The date is May 20th, 2012.
Training starts next week. We’ll be following Hal Higdon’s training program. If you want a copy, drop me a note and I’ll get it to you.
Next week’s run distances are: 3 miles on Thursday and 4 miles on Saturday.
As of now, there will be a few walkers among the group who will be venturing to the half. So, everyone should come out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crazy Legs…
Crazy Legs Classic 8K race in Madison on April 28th, 2012.
Registration is now open. When you register, select the Kohl’s Center for your packet pickup location.
Walkers are welcomed to the race and the BG will be represented by several walkers. So, there’s no excuse for not showing up.
As the day gets closer, I’ll finalize the logistics for the race. We’ll carpool to the race and enjoy recovery after the race.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speedo asked about interval training on Tuesdays. We’ll start interval training the second Tuesday in April. If you have ideas as to a location and/or types of sessions, drop me a note.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, 02.23.12, Meet at Pino’s on North Main Street. We’ll head towards the river and the bike path. Recovery is at Pino’s on North Main Street. Meeting time is 6:00 pm.
Saturday, 02.25.12, Time for some Arny training. We’re going to run at Rock Cut State Park. The park opens at 8:00am.
