November Newsletter

Welcome to November!

Can you believe the end of the year is almost here? Where has the time gone to. It seems like only a week ago it was still feeling like summer. Cooler temperatures are still ahead and so is the big holidays. Thanksgiving is about 3 weeks out and Christmas just a month after that.

As we look back on October we seen some really good races. New PRs in both time and distance, age group awards, and a lot of really good runs. We’ve enjoyed some good times at breakfast and after run get togethers, celebrated birthdays, and had our end of session party with prizes. And who can forget Halloween with all the sweets. So what’s ahead?

With November 1st bringing time change (Don’t forget to set your clocks back 1 hour) it will be darker for our Tuesday and Thursday runs. Please remember to bring whatever lighting devices you may have as it is more than likely our routes will be darker as well, even on track nights. Yes, we do have the ability to turn lights on at track, but there have been times in the past when the lights did not come on. Some just leave them in their vehicle and charge them up every Friday.

We will be switching things up just a bit from the races we usually set our training schedule for. Our spring training will target the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon (half marathon, quarter marathon, 5K) on April 23-25. This is a really good run with lots of community involvement.

For the fall session we will have a special training program for those who want to do the Pikes Peak Ascent and/or Marathon. Just wait until you see the training for that. (Go get it Coach Ashley!!!!!)

If you’re not interested in either of those, don’t worry, you won’t be left out. We will modify the training schedule to fit any particular race you want to do.

Last but not least, Team RWB was not able to host their regular Flag Run this year, TJ’s will do a special event this coming Veterans Day (November 11). It will start at sunrise and go throughout the day until sunset. The Flag Run has 1 or more people carrying the flag around Sedgwick County Park. If there are more than 1 person, they can take turns carrying the flag throughout the loop. The best thing is, you can do as many loops as you want. What’s even greater than that, you get to show off your support of all of the veterans who have made it possible for us to have the freedoms that we enjoy today (many of which we take for granted). Any interested in participating, please contact Coach Tony.

Always remember, “Runners Make The Best Friends”
