Brillant sunshine and good friends...

What more can one ask for on a cool November day? Bill, Jeff, Concetta, Kristen, Steve, Mona and Derek all braved the chilly morning air. Some of us were a bit more rested than others. I wonder if the "big game" had anything to do with that? Mona, Concetta and Kristen opted for the "Robek" inspired counter clockwise direction of the trail while "the boys" kicked in as usual conquering those monster hills. So, who wants to challenge me for the "most improved" turtle for 2009? Come on, I love a good competition! Just to be clear... my starting point was running less than a mile 2 months ago and now I am running (without stopping) 2 miles. Over the next several months, my goal is to run a 5K in UNDER 30 minutes. What's yours?

Hope everyone has a relaxed and wonderful Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. If you are traveling, please be safe on the roads. Bill, Concetta, Derek and I will all be at the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 5 miler in our quest for pie. As stupid as it sounds, there is something incredibly motivating about coming home with a pumpkin pie for the holiday feast. Keep your fingers crossed everyone! Remember, as long as you finish strong, you are all winners with or without pie!

Regular JT run at Sharon Woods this Sunday, November 30th @ 9am. Come on out and work off some of that turkey or should I say the mounds of mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and dessert. We have two great races ahead of us... Jingle Bell on Saturday, Dec. 6th and the Holiday Run on Sunday, Dec. 14th. Sign up now before the registration increases.

Don't forget to let the Robek's know if you can attend the JT holiday party on Saturday, December 6th @ 7pm. Thank you again Jeff and Christine for hosting. Shhh...rumor has it that Bill will host a JT breakfast this winter.

Have a GREAT holiday week and see you all on the trail!
