First and foremost, congrats to Stephanie and Mark for completing the Indianapolis Marathon last weekend.  It looks like they had a great time.   It seems like every weekend this fall we have someone running a race somewhere.  Best of luck this weekend to those participating in the Urban Bourbon Half Marathon.  I would love to take a group picture if anyone is interested before the race.  Try to meet us at the corner of 3rd and Main around 8am.  I will be racing and Stacey will be holding down the fort in St. Matthews for those not racing.

Congrats to everyone that competed in the Chicago Marathon last weekend.  Click HERE to see some photos from our FACEBOOK page.    Once again the Windy City did not disappoint.  This is easily one of the most festive marathons out there.  Everything from the expo, the volunteers, spectators, the course and even the weather was completely perfect.  If you haven’t done this marathon before, I would highly recommend it.

Don’t forget that we are not meeting as a group this weekend.  Several of our peeps will be in Chicago for the marathon and others are competing in local events.  Enjoy the week off and maybe even sleep in.

We will resume our regular training schedule 10/18.

Those of you traveling to Chicago, don’t forget to let us know if you plan to join us to celebrate after the race.  Here are the specifics of the celebration:  Meeting time should be the 2-3pm range at John Barley Corn.  Official Reservation is at 2pm for 16 people.   I know that this reservation is pretty early but because this is a football Sunday, this is the best we could do.  Please let us know if you plan to join us.  We need to get a close headcount.  Spouses and significant others are also invited. John Barley Corn,  149 West Kinzie St 60654

I am also willing to meet Saturday afternoon for a little pre-race pow-wow if anyone is interested.  I was thinking maybe at the expo.  Feel free to contact me directly with any last minute questions or concerns.  My mobile number is (502) 718-9734.

One last thing, don’t forget to check out the Online Running Manual for any last minute tips and tricks for race day. (page 65)
