Good afternoon/evening/morning, everyone! I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know I’ll be taking a brief break from the newsletter, this week and next week. For a little while I’ve been feeling the need for a brief hiatus, to give me a little time to refill my creative well and come back full of energy and ideas. I have a few ideas cooking in the back burner of my mind, but they need a little time to simmer, a little time to come to fruition, so I hope you’ll understand.
I forgot to add, our May running challenge won't be going anywhere! We'll keep going in the Chat area of our app -- I love meeting you there every day!
Terrell, I've been a bad participant, been too busy to tally up my miles for May until today! I ran 94 miles - so not the 100 I promised BUT I did ref [my 2nd "job"] 20 games [each lasting usually 1 hour] so I feel like I ran that extra 4+ there!
Traveling to NYC in July to do a half. Don't usually run races in the summer [too hot in SW Florida] but your monthly challenges, along with going "home" motivated me so THANK YOU! These monthly #'s, even though I've [thankfully] been too busy to get on here as much as I'd like, I like the challenge it provides, makes me want to continue to run for it.
Also, I was thinking about one of our last conversations. What about a "half-marathoner" run in the ATL area - to be fair, the majority of us would be traveling no matter what so why not do it near you, as you're the head of this crazy menagerie - it'll also allow us to then frequent establishments that you can make sure can handle the traffic. Just a thought...
And, I think the idea of a 'Half Marathoner' run here in Atlanta is a great one -- the Silver Comet Half is a great race, (though it's a smaller one); it's run on the Silver Comet Trail in Mableton, just outside in Atlanta, near the end of October. That might be an option!
Oh, that race in Atlanta sounds perfect. I’d say, for you as the “leader”, send out a blast to see if people want it. I’m in. No matter what, people will be traveling, so why not Atlanta!
I am doing the fire cracker half marathon in Rockaway in Queens. It’s on July 8. I grew up near there so it was a way to do a race with my niece who lives in NYC and also get to see some friends from home.
Take all the time you need, and be sure to enjoy your downtime with family. And congrats on the 8-year anniversary...probably feels like the blink of an eye. Take care.
Enjoy the Graduation........wonderful time of celebration and then there are all those family and friends..........kick off Summer with fun and not stress.............Enjoy!!! LOL........always nice to know that we all can get a little overwhelmed by life and it is OK to step back...........my goals have been small these past few months........going to finish off May with a "Murph" on Memorial Day..........and then hopefully get back into a less relaxed routine!!!! Enjoy!!!
So enjoy your time with your family and friends!!! Graduation is such a special time and deserves your full attention! We’ll all look forward to hearing from you when you’re ready to get back at it! In the meantime, just know how much you are appreciated!!!
Terrell - thanks for all you do! I plan to upgrade when I can! I did power-walk a 5K this weekend. I'm still not 100% from heart surgery, but my goal is to do several 5K's, then graduate to 10Ks'. I've read your newsletter, and actually bought some of the books you recommend. I don't comment a lot, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your efforts!
