Now that we're pretty much done for the year Marathon and half wise (except for those running in Cal and TX this weekend) it's time to start planning for next year. So heading into Chuckit's 10th year so far a bunch are training for events at Disney and it looks like Napa will be a popular venue along with Eugene and of course Boston.

Those of you training for these events it's time to get on the ball. With the holidays coming it's sometimes hard to find motivation but often it's the work you do now that will determine how you'll fare come race time. You're building a base that will allow you to do more with the training that's coming down the line and those are the workots that make you faster. So even though it's dark and raining and cold so as they say "you gotta git er done"

For my part, I went through the roster and did some major damage, clearing out all those with out future races / goals posted including all of the those ran Seattle. So if you go to look for a workout and nothing is there that would be a big hint that you need to update the roster or I screwed up and you became a casualty in my deleting frenzy for which I most humbly apologize. Please add your race / goal again.

Also with this being the end of a big training / racing period many of you are up for membership renewal. If you could take care of this sooner rather then later I would appreciate it as you can imagine with many people coming and going it get's a bit confusing. Also I must admit that I'm in a bit of bind as I was using a nice little data base that I made (probably a bad idea) the last few years to keep track of everyone and last month it became corrupt and I can't use it so... I don't have your membership info, I do have your applications and I can go through those but if you could help me out that would be great since over 10 years I have quite a few of them. Those who paid on-line I can also get.

For those that need t-shirts I still have plenty so let me know if you didn't get one and I'll set you up with one.

At the expo over the weekend I spoke to the race director for Rock n Roll and was given the green light for Chuckit to provide the pacing at the June race. I'll send more info out on that as I get it.
