WOW 12/4-12/11 and much more

Hey Fits!

Monday 12/5: 20-30 min of recovery cardio (especially those who just completed Tecumseh Saturday) followed by YOGA
Tuesday 12/6: 5k - 5 mi progression run, strength and YOGA, OR meet at Silver Springs @ 9 a.m. for a mountain bike and maybe a baby run
Wednesday 12/7: 2000 yd swim, YOGA
Thursday 12/8: indoor bike meet at the Wades @ 9 am
Friday 12/9: 2000 yd swim and YOGA
Saturday 12/10: 5k - 5 mi progression run, strength and YOGA
Sunday 12/11: REST DAY!!!!!

ALSO a big CONGRATULATION TO OUR NEWEST INDUCTEE INTO THE WORLD OF MARATHONING Karen "Quickie" Kalicki also know to a few as KANDAY! She completed the Tecumseh Trail marathon probably one of the TOUGHEST off road marathons around finishing in 6:30! Tecumseh boasts 7300' elevation CHANGE, 34 creek crossings right smack in the middle of muzzle loader season in south central Indie! 

Also, congrats to my husband Al who finished in 4:05, me 4:24, Ron 4:52, Stan 4:58 and a valiant effort to Amy who had to drop due to an injury but completed 18.7 miles and managed to initiate an impromptu YOGA session at the aid station! 

Also, I wanted to mention we met a 12 year old boy who ran the entire marathon (his second) and finished with an astounding time of 4:19 and another guy who ran completely barefoot and ran a 4:20 despite the rocks, roots, leaves, creek crossing, mud etc on the course!

All in all an awesome time down in Indie couldn't have asked for better weather, 60+ degrees, clear skies, long overdue! I guess if you run this race enough you'll get a good day every fifth year or so! Still the finishers shirt sucks! If you've run Tecumseh you know what I'm talking about, but I guess we don't do it for the shirts right?

Hope next year we'll see some new faces cross that finishers line as their first marathon......

Oh, if you decide to take the trail marathon plunge, do some ab work in your training regime, we laugh a lot down there...... I mean how can you not laugh at a liquor store called the BIG RED LIQUOR BOX? Or Stain running around in his running skivvies, or Ron mooning the entire bus prior to the race......that's some funny shit!

GOYA!
