A mention about next week (October 24th) …Start your planning for the NRC Halloween Run. Come out in your favorite costume to run with the group!! You never know…there may even be prizes!!

This Wednesday after our group run, NRC will be celebrating together at Amico’s!  Celebrating what you ask? Celebrating not only the success stories of those who ran in races this past weekend, but also the training that is winding down for many NRC’ers running in the Middle Half this weekend. Let the carb loading begin!!  Before the celebrating however, our run will begin from Martin’s at 6:15 p.m.

This past weekend was filled with sweet victories for many.  Rachel Eller and Roy Tamez celebrated in conquering their first 50k trail run. Unbelievable miles on very difficult terrain! Awesome job!!

Mike and Megan Brazill ran together in Mike’s first marathon, reaching his goal for a sub 4 hour race! Well done, Team Brazill! 

Lisa Singer and Danielle Gutting ran the Chicago Marathon both setting PR’s!  All of NRC is super proud of these ladies!!

Last, but definitely not least, is our dear friend Joe Singer who now joins the ranks of several other NRC members as a Boston Qualifier!!!!  An unbelievable effort, dedication, and commitment that all came together for what is the ultimate goal for many competitive runners… running the Boston Marathon.  The hard work is done in the qualifying….now just enjoy the ride Joe!

Run Happy All!

Before getting to the training runs for this weekend, let me say Best of Luck to all of those running in races this weekend.  Lisa and Joe Singer and Danielle Gutting are running the Chicago Marathon, Mike and Megan Brazill are taking on the Steamtown Marathon, and Rachel Eller, Roy Tamez, and Jason Alexander are hitting the trails of the StumpJump 50k in Chattanooga.
