At the risk of being extremely repetitive, I want to start this post by thanking you all for your overwhelming support. Lindsay and I are both extremely happy and amazed at the feedback this group has received. This just stands as a testament for a truth we all know, RUNNING IS COOL! (mainly because you runners are cool)
Welp, here we are again. I was told that last weeks run was a great one! Everyone went ahead and ran 20k together, you guys are nuts... but yeah! This was great to hear while I was over in Ireland NOT running on Sunday. being told that everyone ran 20k on Sunday, while I was in a pub being lazy provided me with instant shame. I will have to make amends this weekend...
Before I get to the routes I wanna mention a few things:
First, Thanks to all that have entered a photo into the "Snow way i'm running in that!" contest. It has been extended until December 2nd at midnight, so get your entries in! This is literally the easiest way to win some free shoes of your choice. Saucony has been kind enough to give us a free pair of shoes to whomever wins the contest. so enter enter enter!
Second, This Wednesday December 5th Is the Tech Shops first "Chilli Run"!! This is bound to be a fun night, go for a run and eat some chilli... and then big discounts on merchandise in the store! rsvp to [email protected]
Third, Tomorrow (December 1st) kicks of Strides running stores "Streak". This is a challenge to runners to run 1 mile a day, every day in decemeber. great fun, great people, great prizes! check out the fb page: http://www.facebook.com/events/547597228589204/ . Tomorrow will be a run and then free coffee... I do not see the downside! 9am.
Last, if anybody has recently bought a new pair of shoes or has been running the last few months in a new pair OR just love their shoes. Talk to Ryan before/after/during the run. A new idea......
FINALLY! ROUTES! BELOW AND IN "ROUTES" TAB!
I'll keep this one short. We will be starting at Canmore Park in the NW (some know this as north capitol hill), in the parking lot beside the tennis courts. We will then set out on our usual distances (robots going a bit farther). Bandits, the end of campus and back! Monstars, The baseball diamond at the start of blood and guts! Robots, the bridge and back! This weeks runs will be very cool and the elevation differences on the robots run is going to be nuts! So come out and enjoy.
