On a nasty day I am feeling surprisingly good.....I feel refreshed today and really looking forward to getting out on the roads over the next couple of days....WHY DO I FEEL SO REFRESHED? Because of you.....last night Coach Melissa, Carrie Ginetto and I were joined at Montclair State for an evening run by a new runner.....we did 4 miles together and although this runner was apologizing to us for running so slow ....it was a great run and made me remember why I love running and especially running with newer runners so much. If you are feeling the way this newer runner was last night..."I don't want to go to the group runs, because 1) I am too slow 2) I will hold everyone including the coaches back 3) I am not running far enough yet....what ever the excuse.....DON'T !!!! Like I said I had a great run and it was because I saw a newer runner achieving a new plateau of 4 miles over a hilly route in the dark on a cold night...this newer runner was very happy with the run and will be attending their first group training this weekend.....
AND we have a group of new teammates on the RNR SD Team....a group of Lehman Brothers employees and as of 4 pm today 5 of them had already RSVP'd to me for Saturdays Mahwah Run...not sure if Glenn has received any RSVP's for Sunday at High Bridge and this is from a group who signed up Wednesday afternoon and from a group of 18 people...over 25% of the group attending a run 2 days after sign-up.....that is great!!!!
Stay safe if you are driving today and I will see you on the roads

Bill,
I just want to say that I am very proud to be associated with such a great group of people fighting for a cause that is so near and dear to my heart!
The coaches of TNT are some of the most dedicated and caring people you will meet anywhere period. I will see you out there on a run sometime soon!
Best Regards, Gary (ILM of my son, best friend, and hero Matthew Kawka)
