Fall Racing

It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters. ~Bear Bryant.

Some food for thought to the RMEC members who are taking on new challenges this fall. If you are running a half marathon or full marathon this fall, the time to prepare is now!

I know we seem to ask this all of the time, but what big races are you preparing for this fall? We know there are groups running Steamtown, New River 50k, Richmond, and OBX. . . just not sure who is doing what. POST A COMMENT.

    This Fall begins another Grand Prix Series. Ashley claimed 3rd place overall in the Spring and I came in 6th. That was very good, but,we are using the summer to build on those performances. I told Asheley I would be running my 5ks in the 17's this Fall so he said he would run 16's. On Father's Day the old boy ran at the Golden Gate Park in San Fransico and clocked a 17:06. I will see if my ramped up training gets me closer to 17's this weekend at the Flat Out 5k in Greeville. The Fall series consists of 1 mile, 5ks, an 8k, and a 10 miler. Come join us for your tune up races. Oh ya, we have a race in Boston to get ready for. Kind of a long post. Sorry

    Of the races listed, Jon and I are running Richmond.

    We're planning to run Medoc as well, but have not registered yet.

    Ted and I are running the New River 50k (same weekend as Steamtown), Medoc 10 miler (the following weekend), and are planning on the Dallas/White Rock Marathon 12/5/10. I'm thinking about running the 5K at the Golf Course. . .
