Hey gang,

Well, once again I apologize for the confusion tonight as we had to move our workout from Lake Highland to Howard Middle School. I appreciate your patience as I attempt to work out the kinks in the communication channel with Lake Highland Prep.

With that being said, great job by everyone who made it to the workout at Howard Middle School! Everyone looks to be running strong as the weather has cooled down. I wish I could be out there running with you!

Tonight the 5k/10k'ers did 6 sets of 2 x 400 and the marathoners did 3 sets of Mile/800.

Don't forget to mark down a couple of dates:

Saturday, November 22nd: We will be hosting a group club run out at the Clermont dirt road. We used to hail this as the "Flirt in the Dirt" race. It isn't so much a race as it is a good fun workout at somewhere other than the streets of Orlando. Please visit the website: www.flirtinthedirt.com for information. Thanks to Adam Gifford for putting up the website for us!

Saturday, December 13th: The Standing Broad Jump Invitational and YMCA Runners Club Christmas party! We will hold various events at our "winter" meet which will then culminate into evening festivities at a place to be determined. Feel free to bring me Christmas gifts! j/k More information in the Invitational will be forthcoming as soon as Pat reminds me of the events! lol

Best of luck to everyone competing in the Celebration 10k this weekend, or as they call it the Founders Day 10k. I expect to see some awesome results from the group based on the work I have seen at the track!

A few reminders as we have entered Daylight Savings Time: It is DARK out there, so we need to be extra careful. Mark Russell at the YMCA has been graceous enough to purchase blinking lights for our safety. These will be passed out and returned for each Monday run. Please remember to return them or at the very least bring them back the next time you run. Also, please try to wear white tops or reflectors to help you be visible to drivers out there!

Remember that we also have the Friday run at 6:00 pm. This is a great way to wind down the week!

Have a great week and be safe!

Paul
