December 22nd Email

Good morning all,
This is my last day of work this week, so I thought I would send out our weekly email a little early! Several reminders:
*There is a training run this evening at 5:30 p.m. starting at Runners' World Tulsa
*The Thursday evening training has been moved up to 4:00 p.m. (Christmas Eve)
*Saturday morning we will be meeting at Veterans' Park at 7:45 a.m.(Please note that this Saturday December 26th Kelly will be out of town, so Ashley will be leading the group, and then the following Saturday, January 2nd, Ashley will be out of town so Kelly will be leading the group)
*Be sure to check out the Runners' World Tulsa website for information about several fun New Years' Races

Larry suggested that we all try to go out to breakfast on Saturday morning after our run together. So if you are interested the meeting spot will be Cafe Ole, 3509 South Peoria Avenue, Tulsa. I think this will be a great opportunity for us all to get to know each other a little bit better! So if you don't have any plans after the run, come on out!
We are going to start some new things with our blog. We will be featuring different members of our group each week, right now our featured runner is Larry Gullette, so be sure to take a look, and learn a little bit more about Larry. And, don't be surprised to get an email from us asking for a little information and a picture of yourself...you may be next!
Also, don't forget to be emailing us with any milestone moments (if you completed your longest training run, set a PR (personal record), met a training goal, etc), or if you just have something you want to share with the group!
And, I wanted to thank everyone for being such a wonderful group! Kelly and I (of course we aren't biased or anything) believe we have the best group of runners this session. So we have really enjoyed getting to know each of you. And, we want to welcome several new members that have recently joined our group! Don't forget if you haven't been able to make it to a training run, we would love to meet you all. So we really hope to continue to have such a dedicated group. You all deserve a big pat on the back for signing up, coming out, and starting a training session.
Happy Running,
Ashley & Kelly
