RUN RSVP: Saturday 07/09 at Teeter

If you have not noticed, Summer is in full effect right now.  The heat and humidity are making it challenging to run.  Starting early and staying hydrated (before, during, and after) are key to a successful summer time run.

RACE OPTION: I know several from the RMEC are heading to Greenville to race in the Flat Out 5k.  With an 8:00 am race start, it is easy to drive up the morning of the race.  So if you want to test out your 5k speed, this is a great opportunity to do it with friends.

FLUIDS: I can not put out fluids this weekend.  If anyone would like to help, please post a comment.  With the summer heat, hydration is very important, so PLEASE post if you are running.  It is costly to bring too many fluids, and dangerous to bring not enough. 

RSVPing:  Also, if you are thinking about running, but waiting to see who signs up, please post a comment.  Too often I hear that people don't run because no one was running their pace.  The problem is I hear that comment from two people who run the same pace.  If you are looking for a partner, it is okay to say, "I can run if anyone else plans to run a 9:45-10:15 pace."  This way you might encourage someone else to come out too.  Thanks!

    I plan on being there. Just had a steroid shot into my left Achilles tendon, so won't be trying to set any land speed records. Probably running somewhere between 9:00 - 10:00 minute pace--hopefully 9 or 10 miles (maybe more if it's all feeling good).

    I plan to be there for 13 miles or so at 9:30-10:00 pace...hopefully it will be less humid than today. Ugh!

    My friend Liz will probably come again as well. She loved the RMEC group run last week and decided to sign up for the OBX Half!!
