Mav's Massachusetts Mentor Group/Full for the Season (Page 15)

This was a cruel week on the scale for me as well!!! Must be the moon!LOL

Hope you all are ready for race day on Sunday. Even if it snows in the early am it should be clear by 11 am. Dont get all nerved up over this race....its for fun. My goals for races are not to finish last and not to throw up...if I make one of my goals then its a good race!!!! It will be fun to meet everyone. There will be plenty of other BTers there as well!!!!

Make sure you rest a bit over the next two days. Nothing to be gained from running over the next 2 days.

I feel like the rebellious teenager of the group..

I haven't done a thing on over a week, so I decided I would run/walk today a 5k just to be sure I could do it Sunday. (oh Kim)

Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting that Tri-spiration I need!

Good Morning!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow. I plan on being there around 9:45 am.I have sent those racing a private message with my cell number ( Erica and Erin I didnt pm you because I think you have it).

I will be wearing a dark orange vest/ olive green in the back( initially I thought it was just orangeLOL) with a white New Balance shirt under it. I will be near the Tri Valley Front Runners Table ( I am pretty sure they will have one). Please call me if you cant find me by this description!!!! We will be going to Chipolte in Mansfield Crossing after the race. My understanding is that it is quite close to the race venue. Rather than post directions...I figure you can google it...  For those running the 5 K, if you dont feel like waiting for us 10 mile people feel free to eat and leave... I know it will be a while for me to finish.

A few race day reminders. Dress in layers. My understanding is that there are 3 water stops on tthe 10 mile course...if you need more than that plan accordingly. Drink today and be hydrated in the morning. Looks like the weather will  be perfect. Most of all have fun out there~

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to wish you all luck, My brother and I were "RIPPING" it up on the slopes today. 7 hours of telemark skiing should be fine for my workout today, and tomorrow we are heading up to Sunday River for some more killer snow time!!!

Anyways, have fun, "speed and take chances!"

Joel

What a fun day...Thanks to you guys for coming out and running. A special congrats to Peppah for running her first race!!!!! Kimberly, I am really glad you came out and ran too!!! It was so nice to meet you all in person

At mile 9 "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun " came on my i pod...it just really summed up the day for me. It was fun!!!! Erin, thanks for running with me and pushing me. Without you I would NEVER have run that last hill!!!!! I look forward to running the Quincy half with both you and Kristin.

Erica...always good to see your smiling face...I do see a half in your future...you know you want to!!!!!

For those of you who were not with us...I hope you were running virtually. lauren, did you run? Sorry, we missed you!!!

It was great to meet those of you running Foxboro today!

Some of you have your blogs friends only so I wasn't able to say hi via an inspire so I stopped by here.

Great job by all of you....so fun to meet BT friends new and old at races.

Forgot to mention that you should all write a race report. Its great to go back and read your own reports and know what you thought of the course, your prep, how you did overall in the race and things you would do differently. It also is a refrence for others who will do the race in the future. when you are considering doing a race its great to have a race report to refer to!!!!!

Fun event and great to meet you all!   THanks for pushing MY pace today, mav

Great Meeting everyone today

I very much enjoyed the race and conversation

Went home and signed up for the Quincy 5k, so hope to see many of you again soon.

Kathy, can we see a picture of the puppies?

Nice job Chris...you were there in spirit!!!

No bowing out!!!Life has a way of getting in the way of our training. The fact that you train (fairly regularly) is better than most who sit on the couch. Never stop trying!!!!

totally read it based on your recommendation and really loved it!  so inspirational and motivating!! 

yesterday was SO much fun!!  loved the race and it was GREAT to meet many of you in person!!  we could not have had better weather and those post-race burritos & beers were just what this girl needed!!

i'm psyched that there will be another reunion next month at the quincy 1/2 marathon and 5K.  they just added the 5K race this year, so if you're not up for the HM, you can still join us and have fun!

kathyg and redsoxchick - adding you to my friends list right now...  hope to keep in touch with you both!!
