Hey Fits!

It was a long battle just to get to the starting line, but Shain (12 y/o) and Clem completed their first 13.1 mile run Sunday at the Chicagoland Spring half marathon, while Cliff pounded the pavement for an additional 13.1 to finish his first marathon with a time of 4:25!

The wind was howling, the record temps we enjoyed last week were mere memories and the rain needled at our faces as we watch our newest "Offical Misfits" run and run and run! MiniZen posted an impressive 2:08 finishing time and was awarded a third place in the under 18 AG just 45 seconds behind his nearest competitor who was 17 y/o. Clem crossed the finish line one minute befor Shain. We aslo cheered on Dave and his girlfriend Karen who paced the four hour marathon group looking strong throughout!

What's next for our new inductees? Clem told me during the two miles that I ran with him and MiniZen that he plans on running the Fox Valley marathon in September along with Karen and a handful of other Misfiters!

Good job Fits! Couldn't be prouder of you all!!!!!

Fartlek anyone?

Hey Fits!


Sorry for the last minute, a few of us are getting together tomorrow at 9 a.m. for a 40 minute run (Fartlek style) and bike to follow (possibly outside).

Also, Tuesday at 11:30 a few of us plan on getting together for an outdoor bike (plan on 1.5 hours or so)
Both days meet at 515 E. Lee St., Plano

Run Happy!
