For those of you still brave enough to run outside in this frigid cold, you are more than welcome to come on out and run with the other crazy people this Saturday. Unfortunately, my wife is leaving town for the weekend and I will be stuck home watching the little one. (really, I’m not trying to bail out!) It will probably be a treadmill day for me :(
Please, by all means, still come out to run with some other folks. Last week we met in the Longview Rec Center parking lot and that seemed to work out pretty well. The gym is closed at that time, so it is pretty clear who will be there to run with you.
Have a great, and safe, time out there. And don’t forget to invite more runners to join us!
Thanks to all of those who came out and braved the rain for the very first RunSpringHill group run! Aside from the rain, the 56deg temperature made it a much more bearable run. Nothing a lightweight rain jacket can’t solve.
Moving forward, have you made a commitment with yourself to run the Country Music Marathon (or half-marathon)? Currently there are only 14 more Saturdays until the April 25th race. That’s just the right amount of time to allow for a proper training program (14-16 weeks), but you should be starting now.
For myself, I am looking to run the full marathon, but I’ve been WAY out of training for such a long time now. So for January I have just committed myself to creating a solid base in which to build on, starting my full training February 1. My goal is just to get 16 runs under my belt this month of roughly 2-4mi each.
Remember, more people that come out, the more different pace groups we’ll have as well. So invite as many runners as you know to our Saturday group runs. In an effort to provide a resource for more conversations within our community in addition to this blog, I’ve created a Facebook group for us. Come join us:
See you on the roads!
To kick things off, would anyone be open for a run this Saturday morning at 7am, departing from Longview Rec Center? Please reply in the comment section of this post if interested.
Hello everyone! I’d like to present a simple online gathering place for local runners living in and around Spring Hill, Tennessee. This site will be used as a method for organizing group runs and socializing within our own running community.
Running can be just as much as social event as a physical one. Especially when training distances get longer and longer, having community support and water/aid support on the course can be extremely beneficial towards reaching your goals.
This community is for runners of ALL skill levels. This is not a formal club with membership dues, but rather an informal gathering of runners (or wannabe runners) just like yourself. I know you’re out there, I have seen our fair city listed on local race results and I’ve seen you out their on the roads.
Beginning in January 2009, we’ll start gathering on Saturdays or Sundays for some social runs. This is a community, so we need you! Signup on the website today to receive updates via the email newsletter, a RSS feed or Twitter.
Whether you are trying to run your first complete mile, or are training for the Franklin Classic, Country Music Marathon, or the next Nashville Ultramarathon, there is a place for you here in your own home town at RunSpringHill.com. Welcome!
By subscribing to the RunSpringHill.com Email Newsletter, you will receive regular email updates about our local group runs, training information and other running related activities going on in Spring Hill.
Hope to see you out on the roads very soon!
