One Last TRY

This is the last official TRY night until next March. 4:30 at the normal place. (And for those who heard I may be out of town...my trip was put off until tomorrow morning, so I'll be there.)

This Sunday - Jingle Bell Run at long branch park. I've only heard a couple people doing this, so I didn't put a team together. Sign up individually and I'll see you there. Bring bells! If you cannot participate, but want to contribute, how about making a donation to this cute little Christmas elf?

Next Monday - Run under the lights on the lake. Get there whenever you can from 5-9, for a unique running opportunity, and if you want to do the group run, meet at 7:50 at the Wegman's playground end. Then we'll do a 5 mile run to go down and back through all the lights.

Next Tuesday - Any dog owners want to walk under lights on the lake on the dog night? I haven't heard back from any of you so this may not happen as a group.

And a run that comes recommended from a TRYer -- the It's a Wonderful Run 5k, in Seneca Falls on Saturday, December 11th in the late afternoon. Run under and next to Christmas lights, in scenes that inspired the famous movie - It's a Wonderful Life. (Last year was the first year they held this.)

Happy Holidays!

Running Out Of Daylight

Only Two weeks left of TRY for the year. Due to being back on Eastern Standard Time, we'll have to meet at 4:30 (start running at 4:35) for this week and next. I know most people cannot make it at that time, but its the only way to get the run in before dark.

A reminder of a couple upcoming events: (Links were provided 2 weeks ago):

The Jingle Bell Run (5k) at Long Branch Park on Sunday, November 21st. FYI - Lockheed Martin did not sponsor the team last year (for whatever reason) and therefore the previous organizer is not putting the team together. (And I agree, without the funding, why bother?) I still plan to run it though. Please let me know if there is interest and maybe I'll sign up a TRY team just for the fun of it. (If a few of you are doing it, that is.)

Some sort of walking night with dogs included at Lights on the Lake. (Tuesday night November 23rd.)

And actually, I didn't mention the "Lights on the Lake Stroll" on Monday, November 22nd. Due to a bowling league conflict I will be running that night from 8 until 9, doing the 5 mile out-and-back at a comfortable group pace. If you want to join in, please let me know and I'll coordinate with you. (It'll be as simple as meeting at the Wegman's playground end around 7:50ish.)

John put this in the comments -- for those who haven't heard there is the "Empire State Marathon and Half Marathon" being held in Syracuse next year on Sunday, October 16th. Thanks John.
