Be sure to arrive on time for the Wednesday run this week! At 6:15 pm at Martin’s, our own Amy O will be recording some live running footage in preparation for a video she is putting together that will ultimately be part of our website. You may even be asked a couple of interview questions including why you love NRC! Our hope is for everyone to be a part in some way. After the run this week, we will gather at Amico’s for our post run meal. Hope everyone can make it!

Good Morning NRC!! Hope to see everyone tonight for our regular weekly run together. If you have not joined us before, come on out! Meet us at 6:15 at Martin’s Barb B Que. We always have pace groups with leaders for 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 minute miles. We typically run anywhere between 3 and 6 miles for distance. Tonight we will be running for hush puppies as we are headed to Uncle Bud’s after the run!
Cya tonight!
Saturday, July 14th – Field Trip!
NRC running plans this week include miles both inside and outside of Nolensville. There is a group who will be driving out to Percy Warner to run either the 11.2 or 5.8 loops. Anyone interested in carpooling should meet at Martin’s at 6:00 am. We will be parking at Stone Gates entrance to the park, located at the corner of Belle Meade Boulevard and Page Road. Both loops have proven to be challenging but well worth it given the beautiful tree-lined paths of the park that you are able to experience.
For those of you not familiar with either of these two loops, here is a map link that you can check out! http://www.harpethhillsmarathon.com/parkmap/
If you would prefer to stay in Nolensville for your run this week, there are options that are starting to roll in!
Terry and Kathy will be running 4-5 miles at a 10:00 pace starting from Mama’s Java at 7:30 a.m.
Danielle, Mandy, Jennifer, and Nicole will be starting at 6:00 a.m from Mama’s Java. Pace will be in the 9’s.
As always NRC…Run Happy!!
Wednesday, July 11th
Welcome to Wednesday NRC!! We hope to see everyone for the run tonight and for a post-run meal at Campo Azul!! At this point, the weather is calling for some possible rain showers. If there is a little rain, we will typically still run. However, if there is severe weather in the area, we will hold off. The decision is usually done last minute at run time (6:15 pm at Martin’s). If the run is called off, we still plan to gather as a group for supper.
Just a reminder that NRC has planned for a night of bowling this Saturday at Franklin Lanes at 5:00 pm. Come on out and join in the fun!! Please call Scott Alexander for more details.
Saturday, July 7th Running Plans
Happy Friday NRC!! I am happy to announce that this week our running plans include a field trip! Although we love our little town of Nolensville, it’s nice to venture out a little. Therefore, we are going to begin our longer run this week from the Concord Road YMCA in Brentwood to run the Riverpark greenway.
Our start time will be 5:30 a.m. We will head back to our regular Saturday breakfast spot, Mama’s Java, after the run.
Several people will be running between 10 and 13 miles. There will be three general paces: high 8’s, low 9’s and 11:00 minute.
On the 4th, we had many NRCers participate in the Cadillac Firecracker 5k! It was a very fun race with many success stories in the group!! Pictures will be coming soon but for now, results can be found here: http://www.nashvillestriders.com/storage/results/results-2012/firecracker%202012%20results.txt
In addition, NRC would like to wish Erin Pryor the very best in the Muncie Half Ironman!! We know all of her hard work and training will be well rewarded!!
For Erin… Swim, Bike, and Run Happy! 🙂
