If you receive the Mountain Goat newsletter, than you should have read this already, but big changes have taken place in the training program. I have updated the TRY google calendar accordingly. (There are only 4 weeks, the start time has changed, and you have to pay $15 to participate.) These changes make me sad as the training run program was the best thing about the Moutain Goat. But, the update has been a long time coming, and quite honestly, we, as runners brought this upon ourselves. The running etiquette displayed on a weekly basis was terrible. I spoke up a few times and attempted to model good behavior, but I could have done more. And if everyone who knew better had spoken up more, there is a very good chance that we could have kept a good thing going. So, remember that the next time you see fellow runners running on the wrong side of the street or making poor choices when crossing streets. Speak up! You will be doing the running community a favor.
A place this directly applies to TRY - lets make a point to be extra diligent when running our "Faith Hill's" this year. Up on the left. Straight across at the top. Then down on the left. Thank you.
Another date change his year is the Liverpool Relay For Life. After being on Fathers Day weekend for all the years I've paid attention, they have shifted it to the 30th of May this year. Supposedly they wanted to change things up and I believe they also wanted to spread out the local events so not as many happen on the same night as other local ones. (There was also a chance of a location change to a school track, but from what I can tell, that did not happen as everything I see has it at Longbranch Park again.) From the LM team page, you can already see that Ron is off to a great start to his fundraising again. That's just one of the reasons, we call him "Ron-again"
Lastly - a chance for some spring cleaning for the ladies of TRY: Jill is helping out "40 Below" with a clothing drive for used women's professional clothing. Have anything to donate? Let Jill (or me) know and we can help to make sure it gets collected from you. I'll end with Jill's email on the topic:
"Hi All,
40 below is co-sponsoring a professional women's clothing drive in April. In addition to donating clothes, they also need people to volunteer at the WISE Symposium on April 8th between the hours of 8 and 5pm to organize the clothes. It looks like a pretty awesome event, so if you have never been, this might be a good opportunity.
Let me know if you are interested in volunteering (see details below)!
If I will see you before this time I am also willing to take some of your donations, but I probably won't be able to come around get them from everyone.
Thanks! Jill
