Hi Folks,
Note to self…Sometimes clams are even clams.

RAVE RUN…
This one is for Bruce the Elder. We miss you man.
BTW…This looks like people who recover too much and don’t run enough.
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone up for running intervals on Tuesday? 6:15…Midway Village. Let me know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This weekend we set the clock forward. You know…spring forward, fall backwards. Except, it’s March, spring, not fall. With this change, we’ll be able to venture to other running paths around the area. You still need to be aware of the weather conditions for the days of our runs. I’m not sure whether they plow all the paths where we’ll be running. And yes, da Mudda can still dump snow on us.

Rockford Half-Marathon next May…
The date is May 20th, 2012.
This is the second week of training.
Yes, the distances are the same as last week.
Thursday’s distance: 3 miles.
Saturday’s Distance: 4 miles.
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.

As you know, Armando, a member of the Buddy Group is in the hospital. Please say a prayer for him and his family. This Saturday, the Coyote Army will be hosting a special run for Armando. Carol has asked me to extend an invitation to the BG’ers and join them for a run. The goal is to keep up the miles for Armando. The run is scheduled for 8:00 am at Rock Cut at the Olson Beach parking lot.
Also, the Quinones family has been keeping a vigil at the hospital. They are in need of food and water while at the hospital. So, they are asking for some items ie baked items, lunch items, dinner items, and of course money to buy dinners at the Commons (SwedishAmerican Cafeteria). If you wish to donate something, please contact Sheri Nichols at cassil32@yahoo.com. All support is welcomed. Together, we’ll get Armando to Boston (2013).
I think that’s two thumbs up for a run this Saturday.
