This week, the “Tour of Nolensville” takes NRC to what we all know as Rio Verde!  Keep in mind… they did change their name along with their location!  They have moved next to Martin’s so it will be nice and convenient for a post run meal.  Come out at 6:15 pm for the run and then stick around for some Jim’s Nachos and Margaritas.  Good Eats!!

I had previously mentioned that the next NRC race was the local Nolensville Change for a Chance 5K on June 16th.  There is another 5K before this one that I have added. The Memorial Day Dash on…well… May 28th, Memorial Day!! 🙂   It is a fun, fast 5K!  Would be great to see a number NRC faces out there!  What better way to spend a holiday but by running and spending time with great people!!

Congratulations to all those who ran in the Rutherford Relay this past Saturday!  It was a fantastic event that was absolutely dominated by NRC participants. Great representation!!

For many NRC members, this weekend means running the Rutherford Relay! This 53.4 mile race, which benefits the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, begins in Eagleville, taking runners along roads and trails through Rockvale, Murfreesboro and ending in Smyrna. NRC will be very well represented at the event!! We have 3 teams of 5 who will be participating.  They are as follows:

Team “Nolensville Running Club” is Megan Brazil, David Dye, Ray Whitford, Daryl Middleton, and Kelly Dever

Team “NRC Blistering Speeds” is Travis Blunt, Steve Kraft, Danielle Gutting, Scott Alexander, and Amy Klotz

Team “NRC Sisters with Blisters” is Tandy Blaylock, Adriane Martinez, Lisa Singer, Sareya Kidd, and Jennifer Oubre

Best of luck to all of our teams!!!

And I can’t forget to mention Rachel Eller who will also be running with a team.  Go girl!!  We wish you luck as well…

If there are other running plans that I hear of, I will post throughout the day!  Stay tuned…

Remember that our next NRC race is the local Nolensville Change for a Chance 5K on June 16^th.  Registration is currently $20 but increases to $25 two weeks before the event. We would love to see all of NRC there, so sign up soon!  Check out the Race Calendar tab for the link to the race site.

For those who attend Erin Pryor’s yoga classes on Sundays, there will not be class this week.

“The answer to the big questions in running is the same as the answer to the big questions in life: do the best with what you’ve got.”

Run Happy All!! 🙂

On Wednesday evenings, NRC gathers at Martin’s Barb-B-Que at 6:15 pm to run a few miles together.  It is always great to see new faces of those who come out to join the group!  Even if you are new to running, there are shorter distances available. We always make sure everyone has someone to run with!  

This week after the run we will be going to Bricks to eat for the next stop on our “Taste of Nolensville” tour.  Hope to see everyone out there!

Running plans for Saturday, May 5^th….  Here we go!!

There is a large group meeting at 6:30 to run between 6 and 10 miles. Paces will range between 9:00 and 10:00 minute miles.

Come on out and join us!  After the run, we will stay at Mama’s Java to grab a bite to eat.  Hope to see you there!!

It’s time for the streets of Nolensville to be filled with NRC runners once again!  Come out this Wednesday (6:15 p.m. at Martin’s Barb B Que) to join us for a few miles at whatever distance and pace works for you.  Many options are always available.  This week for our post run meal, we are headed back to Uncle Bud’s!
