“We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.” – Emil Zatopek
COWABONGA!! – While it has nothing to do with running I’m dumb founded by the announcement that wrestling will be dropped from the 2020 Olympics’ is hard to believe! WOW!!! They are probably making room to add events like marbles or checkers! Sick, sick, sick!!!!
While running at 7:30 Saturday morning was difficult it was good to be lazy or late because by 11 am it wasn’t bad at all! (really big smile!)
Sunday was gorgeous out on the roads and snow covered trails!

The fear of acceptance is one of the biggest struggles for folks to get out and start running with a group of runners; many people are fearful of will I fit in? During my years of running, no matter where I’ve run I’ve found when you approach a group of runners you are never really alone; you are only a smile and a hand shake away from making new friends. Runners welcome runners no matter where, no matter what level of runner you may be. Runners are fully aware of the decision and determination for a beginner or someone with little experience required to take those first steps, and there always be a few folks around the Mill and the YMCA to encourage anyone! There are runners in these groups from their teens to their 80′s. So please consider this a sincere invitation to come out and join us whether it is at the Mill or the Y we welcome you!
