We're back on track!!

This group started in the high heat of Summer 2008 with 20 members training hard to run their first ever 5K. Over the course of three months, these dedicated souls gave up a few nights a week to train....and they trained hard. On November 15, 2008, every member of the first-time 5k group met their goal by finishing their first sanctioned race at the Fantasy of Lights 5K!

And so we get to the next chapter....10Ks are very hard to find and I believe that if you are going to train for six miles, you can train for 13. So, ladies and gents, welcome to your next great challenge, your first half marathon!

There are three target dates for half marathons in the area. The first one is November 15, 2009; The Ft. Lauderdale 13.1 is your target race. Go here and get signed up:

The second 13.1 race is on December 6th; Palm Beaches Marathon Festival. Kathy and Ernie will be running this race. Sign up and run it with them at:

The third 13.1 race is next year is the A1A 13.1 marathon in Ft. Lauderdale. Veronica, one of our original 5K runners completed this race this year and she did such a great job that she inspired me to commit to it next year. Everyone gets to drink BEER at the finish line!

So get out there and join us for some fun, fun, fun training!

***PLEASE NOTE OUR TRAINING VENUES: Although we would like to be at all places at all times, that simply isn't possible. We are up for suggestions and I encourage people to use this site to set up their own venues, find great people to run with and train for one of these upcoming races. We like to race 5K's and 10k's in the meantime so if you have a charity race that you would like to let us know about, just post it on our message board or contact me and I will gladly post the event for you.
