Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon 10-19-2008

CONGRATULATIONS JACK TURTLES...Bill, Jeff, Kristen, Tonja, Concetta, Eunice, Beth, Derek and ME on a great race.
A HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderful Turtle supporters on the course...Meg, Karen, Christine, Steve, Mark and Dyan.

What a GREAT weekend! It was so nice to spend some quality time with the turtles last night and to welcome home the original and always the best coach... T-bone! It was so cool to see many of us out on the course both running, walking and supporting each other. Derek and I both felt amazing and it truly inspired me to want more from my training. So, under my newly appointed leadership last night (thanks, Jeff ) as co-coach with Bill, I want us to all find some renewed energy and let's finish out the fall season with strength and consistency.

New this fall...
- Thanks to my wonderful husband and official new Jack Turtle member, Derek, I will be updating this blog weekly to keep us connected.
- Effective Sunday, October 26th, new start time @ 9am, Sharon Woods.
- Commit to running at Sharon Woods at least TWICE a month.
- First Sunday of every month, please plan to stay for breakfast. November 2nd, we will be at Scramblers @ 10:15am. Answer the survey question to the right to choose December's location.

  2. This is a great idea, very cool! Thanks again to Mona and Derek for hosting a fabulous pre-race dinner Sat night. Thanks also to all JT's that showed up in support on race day. Mona you are a born leader and I'm confident you will lead us all as co-coach down the path of success. Can't wait to get my training back on track. Special shout out also to Jeff for rocking his first 1/2 and to Tonja for shattering her PR!! Awesome job guys!
