Many of you survived St. Pats Dash, I hope, weather wise. Well having run in that most anything else will seem really easy now. Myself, you know I'm pretty much a gamer when it comes game time and don't really mind standing in most anything to root on the troops but I woke up at 5:30 saw the pouring rain and then a little later the snow, so I went nack to bed. Figured most of you could really care if I was out there and it was certainly not a day for picture taking. Overall it appears that most had good runs considering the conditions. Good job!
This week we have the Mercer Island Half which for most is a major test for those running marathons this spring or for those who are training for this event. If you're running this as a test of fitness for your marathon, remember that you aren't completely rested up for this as you're still training for your marathon so remember to be a bit flexible with your results. I would also take it a bit easier this week. Although for the midweek workout I would keep it to business as usual unless this is the event you have your focus on.
Every year for the past few years Dan and Joy Mendes have had everyone over to their house after the Mercer Island Half and will again this year. It's a great time to get together and comapre notes after the event and also to get toegther not having to worry about a long run or a mid week workout. Every one is invited and they cater it so no need to bring anything, except maybe some dry clothes. So here is the info I hope you can make it. I won't be at the run on Saturday but will come back into town for the race.
From Dan and Joy
Please pass on to to all your chuckit members.
Hello fellow chuckit runners. Joy and I will be having our annual post Mercer Island race day party. (We cannot remember how many years it has been, so maybe someone remembers.) We think it is our 7th annual.
We love having everyone over to enjoy the afternoon after the race, but don't feel that running is a prerequisite to coming over to party.
We welcome everyone, spouses, kids, friends, or significant others. There is always lots of food as our friend Bob Cox will be catering the event again and Joy will be making her famous spicy Italian soup.
Don't be shy, come over if you know us or not, the more people the better.
Good luck in your race if you are running, and we hope to see you afterwards.
Daniel and Joy Mendes
