We are blessed

What a lovely run was had this past Saturday :)
We had runners run distances from 5-10 miles and it was perfect weather. 


So next week is our longest run before we head to Mercedes. Be good to yourself this week - hydrate, rest, eat, get excited because it's going to be fun. I may even have to do a celebration dance at the end :) We'll start out from Felcia's house at 215 Clermont Dr, 35209. Very close to AllSaints and even closer to Trinity Presbyterian. 

While you're snowed in... take a minute to find a few non-perishable goods you can bring to donate on the 15th - there are lots of people in our community who could use a blessing or two right now and blessings come in all shapes and sizes, including cans of food. Now, go put them in your car before Saturday morning - go ahead. I'll wait. Go do it.

You, yes, I'm talking to YOU, are always welcome to run with us. Regardless of how far you'd like to run or how fast/slow you'd like to go. Just show up and we'll figure it out :)


Remember to order your shirts this week - bring your money this weekend or you can mail a check to Hilary Moreno, 1836 Old Creek Trail, Birmingham, AL 35216. I'll order the shirts on January 18th or 19th.


Some thoughts to make you think:

Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed.  ~Charles Schulz, Peanuts

I run because I can. When I get tired, I remember those who can't run, what they'd give to have this simple gift I take for granted, and I run harder for them. I know they would do the same for me. 
We are all so blessed -
peace be with you -
Hilary

together with options

Running is not, as it so often seems, only about what you did in your last race or about how many miles you ran last week. It is, in a much more important way, about community, about appreciating all the miles run by other runners, too.

Richard O'Brien, runner


Hey runners!
Happy Happy Wednesday :) So this weekend is chock-full of options for running so here there are:

OPTION 1: The Red Nose Run - 10 miles on Saturday. Raises money for the Ronald MacDonald House and I think the registration is something like $40.

OPTION 2: An easy 9 miles from Brownell at 6:30 on Saturday

OPTION 3: If you'd like to run part of the Mercedes route there will be a large group heading out for 7 miles (or 13 for the full marathoners) from Boutwell Auditorium at 6:30am on Sunday.
