Getting a somewhat accurate count is going to be more important for a couple reasons. First, we will all probably try and meet up somewhere before the race (stay tuned for more details in a future post) and we need to know how big of a space we need. Second, we will obviously need to celebrate the big accomplishment after the race is all over, and we need to know how many plan on being there.
So...here is what I need from you. If you could, let me or someone in the family know if you plan on being in Louisville on 11/12. It doesn't matter if you are running, walking, cheering on the runners, or crawling (side-note: Will crawls AT LEAST 13.1 miles everyday). We just need to know if you are going to be there. You can do this in several ways:
1. Simply press the comment button at the bottom of this post, and let us know if you are going to be there AND ANYBODY ELSE YOU KNOW OF THAT IS GOING TO BE THERE.
2. If commenting on blogs just isn't your thing, you can obviously call, e-mail, or text anybody in the family. Bonus points if the person you contact is the ever-elusive John. (Warning: "Bonus points" are something I just made up and won't actually get you anything. But it would be hysterical.)
That's about it. Also, today might be the first day in history where I got up early to run 5 miles while Dad slept in. This really has nothing to do with anything else in this post. I just wanted it recorded somewhere.
Much Love,
Sam
Hey Bill, Glad to hear all is going well. Still trying to run/workout each day, but a trip to the beach this past weekend has my body screaming at me. The beach, sun, beer and late nights playing Euker and Rummikube made for five days and four nights of fun. Carol and I are looking forward to see you and yours on the 12th. My daughter (aka "tigger") said "I wanna' go, I wanna' go, can I go too?" So there may be three in attendance. Staying with sister Alisa in New Albany, but will work our schedule anyway that needed. All our best, Chris
ReplyDeleteHowdy,
ReplyDeleteTo my understanding, Dad, Gretchen, Chris, Bob, Robert and I are all planning on being at the race. I am not certain about Mom, Chris B., and any of the kids. I think that Shea and Ted are unfortunately not coming.
That is it for me. Did anyone else notice that the training schedule changed?
Keep on running and breathing everyone, always remember to breathe.

The training schedule changed? That's my problem! I will be there crawling with Will.
ReplyDeleteSomeone will let you know soon about the rest of the FL family.
Bobby and I are coming. Two of my friends will also be running Shea Stephens (Louisville) and Christy Price (Austin). The girls are staying in Texas but are coming to Indiana for Thanksgiving. We have a room at the Marriott Courtyard downtown from Thursday - Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI ran 6.5 miles - almost to the hill in Cherokee Park. Of course Bobby had to run 9.5 miles with his bum knees.
I continue to breathe in and out.
Really looking forward to seeing everyone.
Chris
I am coming. Shea and the kids won't be able to make it. I will be there on Friday, Nov. 11.

Okay, I am in Sam! I am pretty sure Alan has also registered and will be there too.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how to train. I have been running where it is flat, and with the heat index making it feel like it's 110 degrees. I can run much faster and further in cooler temperatures, but not sure by how much if there are hills. :c)

I'm crawling to Louisville today and will be ready for the run/walk/crawl on Nov. 12. I arrive Nov. 11 and am staying at the Marriott Courtyard.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Gretchen
your favorite niece:-)
Hi Sam/Bill,
ReplyDeleteCount me in as a late entry. I'm arriving from SF on Fri Nov 11 and will be staying at Town Plaza (with Steve Mather).
I've started running again and plan to do some run-walk combo. Hopefully not too much crawling...
Thanks for doing this blog -- it's both inspirational and funny!
Look forward to seeing you all.
