Good Luck RMEC!

This is the first year the RMEC did not have a "training team" just for one race. The past two years we sent a big crowd to the Richmond Marathon and all followed the same training plans. This year we were spread out over multiple races, but the most popular by far is the OBX Marathon and Half Marathon. We have 11 RMEC members (or family members) running at OBX. Here is how it breaks out:

• Marathon: Jeff Hartney, Levi Moore, Arthur Bennett, Scott Wingfield, Steve Cooper, Frank Lilley
• Half Marathon: Tracy Hicks, Travis Hartney, Eric Pate, Tampa Cooper,
• Fun Run: Sarah Hicks

There are several other Rocky Mount residents also in the race, so be sure to cheer on your fellow runners. This really should be a great weekend for everyone. The weather looks to be mild, and the wind should not be too difficult to handle either. I anticipate several PRs from people in this race, and look forward to hearing your stories when you return!

Dave Lavely is racingagain this weekend. This will be a marathon on two consecutive weekends for him as he travels to Harrisburg, PA to compete in the Select Medical Corporation Harrisburg Marathon. Good luck eveyone!
