This Sunday, the RMEC will be well represented at the Shamrock Marathon and Half Marathon. Right not it looks like a perfect race forecast. The Saturday night low is 34F and the Sunday high is 55 with a full day of sun. If the wind stays under control, that sounds like PR weather!Kelly Allen and Robin Johnson will be completing their second half marathon at the event. Jeff Hartney will also be racing the half as he prepares for Boston. Eric Pate will be running his first marathon, and looks poised for a great debut. Joining Eric will be Levi Moore, John Batchelor, Cliff Amos, and Derek Hurdle. There has been some serious hard core training going on this winter, and I have high hopes for some great performances. I can't wait to hear the results, and hope one or all of you will write a race recap when you get back for me to post on the blog.
Good luck!
Don't forget Kelly's side kick-Robin. Though Kelly is much more prepared for this one than I am but I can't think of anything better to do on my b-day!
ReplyDeleteHave a good run everyone.
ReplyDeleteHate I'm going to miss it.
Sorry Robin! I have added you as well. I am sure you will have a great race on your birthday!
ReplyDeleteGood luck guys--I have run Shamrock before and it is a great race. Stay warm and find a nice big pace group to block your wind until mile 19-20 when the wind is at your back and bust it home. It will save some greatly needed energy!!! Have fun!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, all!
ReplyDeletegood luck! Patti already stole my advice, so run hard and enjoy the post race soup / stew.
ReplyDeleteJeff

ReplyDeleteBest of luck to all!
