If you’re on the Ship email list you should have received an invitation to the Annual Ship Marathon Party at Chez Jerie this Friday (February 16th). Please RSVP by Tuesday at midnight so we can size the groceries accordingly.
The centerpiece of the Marathon Party, in addition to Jerie’s scratch made lasagna, is the crowning of your Shipmate of the Year (SotY)! Nominate someone who you believe has gone above and beyond for the Ship. Past winners are not eligible (Al, Sandy, Jerie, Big, Vance, Chelsea, Grau, Penny, Kate, Luke, Michelle, and Julie). SotY is typically awarded a large stack of cash. You can contribute, but certainly are not required to, in any of the following ways:
– PayPal to buysell@yahoo.com
– Venmo to @Jeff-Burrus
– Cash App to $JeffBurrus
– Hand cash to Coach Al or myself at any workout/long run between now and Thursday, February 15th.
100% of contributions are passed through to the Shipmate of the Year so, unlike your contributions to ATX Runners, these contributions are not tax deductible.
Coach Al needs pace group leaders for Saturday’s long run. Let him know if you can help!
Tuesday – meet near O. Henry at 10th/Wayside for an easy 1 mile warm up before the drills which begin at 6:00 pm…we’ll have water available. Then do (marathoners/half marathoners) 6 x 400m with a partner. Racers are done at that point but everyone not racing should add 2 x 400m w/o a partner. Cool down with an easy mile.
Thursday – meet near O. Henry at 10th/Wayside for an easy 1 mile warm up before the drills which begin at 6:00 pm…we’ll have water available. Then do (marathoners/half marathoners) a 3 mile tempo. Everyone else do this 5 mile tempo. Cool down with an easy mile.
Saturday – there will be a long run departing from the zero (676 W Riverside) at 7:00:00 am Saturday morning. On and off the trail for 10.00 miles, 7.03 miles, or 4.61 miles. Breakfast at Little Mexico (2304 S 1st) at 8:59:59 am.
Run every chance you get!
