New Year’s Eve Running Plans!

NRC runners will be out in full force tomorrow morning!  Several will be starting at 7:00 a.m. from Mama’s Java to tackle 10-12 miles anywhere from an 8:50 to 9:30 pace.  There will also be another group (also starting at 7:00 a.m.) running 6 miles at a 10:00 pace.

We would love to see more faces out there whether you run your first mile with us or more.

Happy New Year to all!!

Run Happy!

Wednesday 12/28/2011

Finally after a rainy Tuesday this week, the sun decided to show itself!  Despite being a little chilly, this evening promises good weather for an NRC group run.  Why wait for January 1st to roll around for a New Year’s resolution?  Start tonight! 

Whether you are new to the sport or not, we welcome anyone with an interest in running.  Remember, we start from Mama’s Java at 6:15 p.m.

As always, make sure you run safely…wear your headlamps and reflective gear!

Saturday December 24th – Christmas Eve Run

We had a fantastic time at the first annual NRC Christmas party last night. It was a great way to celebrate all of the new friendships that have been made throughout the year!

To continue celebrating the season, join us for a Christmas Eve run tomorrow morning!   Several are planning on running between 8 and 10 miles at about a 9:15 pace starting from Mama’s Java at 7:30 a.m.

Whether you join for a few miles or all, we would love to see you!

Merry Christmas from NRC!!

Wednesday December 21st – Leave the treadmill behind!

It’s Wednesday and that means a group run with NRC!  Weather appears to be a bit on the rainy side during the morning hours but hopefully should clear this evening, leaving behind just a few puddles for splashing. I’m looking forward to seeing the many Christmas light displays again that we enjoyed last week.

So… leave that treadmill behind and join us!  Remember, we will meet at Mama’s Java at 6:15 and return after the run to grab a bite to eat.

 

Running Plans for Saturday 12/17 AND Location Change Announcement to the NRC Christmas Party!

Hello All!  I wanted to first make sure everyone is aware that we have changed the location of the NRC Christmas party scheduled for this coming Thurday (Dec 22).  Due to such a large response of people attending, we decided that we will need more room!  This is a GREAT problem to have since so many of our running friends will be there. We will be meeting at the new Nolensville Town Hall at 7:00 p.m.  I big thanks to Scott for getting this worked out! (I know he had to pull a lot of strings with the Mayor 🙂 )  One item to mention is that alcohol is not allowed in the building.  Just a heads up if anyone had thought about bringing a bottle of wine or something to share.  In addition we will be having it catered by Uncle Bud’s thanks to our own Kelly Dever. The cost will be $10 per adult and $5 for children.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!

For running plans tomorrow…  Like Wednesday, we are going to meet at Mama’s Java instead of Martin’s.  A couple of us will meet at 6:30 a.m. to get an earlier start on 8-10 miles at about a 9 minute pace.  Also, there are a few meeting at 7:30 a.m. to run 5-6 miles at a 9:30 pace.  Whatever your running plans, have fun, good luck, and be safe!

Happy Friday!

Runner’s World quote of the day…. “Remember, running is life, the rest is just details. Now go!”

NRC Christmas Party!

In 2011, many great friendships have been formed as a result of the Nolensville Running Club!! We have met each Wednesday night and Saturday morning and endured runs that were brutally hot and brutally cold. We ran in the pouring rain as well as in the snow. We have celebrated numerous successes, including runners who completed their first marathon while others qualified for the Boston Marathon!!

Now it is time to get together for the first annual NRC Christmas Party. It will be held on Thursday, November 22nd at 7:00 at Southside Grill. For those who haven’t been to Southside, it is located at 6601 Sugar Valley Drive (less than 10 minutes away from Mama’s Java). Please be sure to RSVP by next Tuesday (12/13) so that we can let Southside know how many people to expect. If you have any questions, please feel free to give Scott a call at 394-0821.

Thanks and Happy Holidays from NRC!!!!

Saturday December 10

Hello All!  Remember our Saturday morning run begins at 7:30 a.m from Martin’s.  There are always several route options depending on your mileage needs for the day.  It may be a little cold but at least some sunshine is predicted!

Also, to those running the Rocket City Marthon in Huntsville tomorrow (John Pryor, Christ Beth Adams, and David Canas)… Best of luck!!
