VRR - Starting July with a Bang!

Welcome Sally and Kassy! Great start to a new month!

300 miles is our goal! Of course these things are easily changed!

Remember that if you celebrate too much on the 4th, you can always enjoy a nice long run to get it all together!

Have a good run everyone!

VRR Update - June 2008

We are so close for June. With almost everyone reporting, we are less than 20 miles from our goal!

We need to think of July and what goals we should set for this month.

Let's get some ideas going for the month of July!

VRR Update!

This is the current chart as we head into this weekends round of runs.

We have a mere 99 miles to make this month's goal!

Have fun! Do your run and let the rest of us know how you did!

VRR Update...

This is the update after last week's runs!

Good Job everybody!

Thanks, Jim!

Let's Run for the Fallen

If any of you listened to Phedip 142, you will know about this run called Run for the Fallen. A team of runners are running 1 mile for every soldier lost during Operation Iraqi Freedom (I believe they may be using the count of Americans lost).

They started their run yesterday (Flag Day here in the US) and will end the run in Arlington Cemetery after running over 4000 miles. They invite everyone to run a mile on August 24th to support the effort.

Just for fun, I started a Challenge on RunnersPlus to see if we can get enough runners to virtually run the 4000+ miles between now and August 24th. If you want to participate, sign up!!! And as I recently discovered, you don't need a Nike+ system to participate. Create an account and just manually log your miles.

VRR Runs - June 13, 14 & 15

I did a graphic to assist us in following the runs this month. Please check the totals and make sure that I have recorded them correctly! Also, make sure that I haven't forgotten anyone.

Let us know your total for this weekend!

Enjoy your run!

VRR Runs Weekend 6/6 to 6/8

As a group, we did so wonderfully last week! 93 miles! What will be our totals for this weekend? Let us know!

VRR Runs Weekend 5/30-6/1

OK, here we are at the end of May already. We had 266.43 miles for the first 4 weeks and marathon training hasn't even yet begun for some of you. I'm thinking that perhaps we ought to shoot for 250 miles/month. What d'ya think?

And tell us what you ran too while you're at it!

VRR Runs Weekend of 5/23-25

Happy Memorial Day, Everyone!!!

As TinaGirl mentioned, we need to set some new goals for ourselves. We've already racked up a whopping 203.43 miles in May and there's still two weekends yet to be counted.

Let us know what you ran this last weekend and feel free to post any suggestions on what our goal should be in June. Note, however, that June will have only 4 weekends whereas May has 5.

Also, my new Endurance Sports Bar is now open. Please check it out!

VRR Runs Weekend of 5/16-18

Middle of May and, believe it or not, we have already topped 130 miles -- 131.44, to be exact!!

CewTwo ran this third half marathon this weekend, PR'd and earned his first race medal. Check out his blog for his race report coming soon.

Did anyone else run a race?

If so, let us know in the comments along with your miles run!
