Going in Circles.........Again

After doing a morning spinning class and then my favorite EXTREME class on Wednesday, I was beat up. But we still ran and it was ugly!

Can someone tell me again why I'm doing this?

We had out 2009 Summer Kick-off last night and it's always great to get a brand new batch of participants to train. I bet I could have got some of them to run last night, the energy and enthusiasm was so high.

We got more snow in our area but it's a good thing. The ski resorts should be doing a booming business and the Great Lakes will be at a higher level because of it. See, I can accentuate the positives...

I went in search of dry pavement at lunchtime and ended up running laps around Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. I'm not sure why they plow around the ballpark but I didn't complain.

Now I have to convince a group of newbies that running outside is a glorious experience...

Our first group training run is this Saturday, with a low of 10 degrees.....

love the Tiger's stadium. Saw them play the A's a few years back.

Hope the temps go up a little for you guys.

Hey Ken,

Is your recruitment for the Summer season down? It is for us BIG TIME. Our kick-off is next week and we are off 100 people from last year. That is huge. I usually have a group of 50 tri people and right now I think that I am 29.

I am making a lot of phone calls and e-mails to alumni this week.
