Lastly, Jeff is our slug of the week logging zero miles. He is planning on 18 miles this week. BRING IT!!

In Group B, Salvioli had another running surge with 16,5 miles which puts him in the lead in the club for his goal and gives him the gold star as well!! He is now just over 50% of his goal. Great job!!  Sherry was next logging 90 minutes last week to bring her up to 39% of her goal. Zuleyma worked out twice last week to give her 120 minutes for the week. This puts her at 40% of her goal. And last but not least our IR club member, who is slowly getting back into some strength training, is Kelly who put in 120 laps in the pool last week. She is now just under 29% of her goal. GREAT JOB GROUP B!!!

He will try to get on a treadmill this week due to his sensitivity to the cold ;-)

Kelly, our lone swimmer due to her injury, swam 160 laps last week to put her at 6.7% of her 2400 lap goal. Salvioli ran 6.5 miles of his 120 mile goal last week to bring him to 5.4% of his goal.

Hopefully everyone will stay on track this week with their goals and will get in the best shape of their lives in 2012!!!!!

Everyone should pick one race in the spring to train for

Run Tracker Week 7

7 weeks down of the group's first run tracker, and as we come into the holiday season its time to start thinking about 2012 and our New Year's resolution. Whether it's to finish a specific race or distance, or to just get into a consistent rhythm of your training/exercising, this group is here to help you to reach it!

Also, another great update: The new Nike Running store that opened up about 4 weeks ago right on Main St is beginning to have it's own run club! They have started to have group runs on Wednesdays(5:30pm) and Saturdays(7:30am). Meeting spot is the store: 69 Main St, Westport, CT, which is right over the bridge off post road. I attended their 2nd group run this past week and although it was pouring, there was still a decent showing! The Nike run club breaks the runs into 3 distances: 3mi, 5mi, & 7mi, all with pacers to follow. All the paths are pretty much well lit and they wind around the surrounding area of our office. I think its a great chance to be a part of a "sponsored" run club and Nike keeps it organized. AND ITS FREE!

As for our runners this week...

This past week, Joe led group A with 18 miles as he gets back into the swing of things after an ailing knee. This brought him to 16.5% of his goal and a total of 66 miles. Next was Josh who ran 3.1 miles last week to bring him up to 30% of his 100 miles goal. MC put in a late 35 minutes on Sunday after coming off her first slug week. Lastly, Betsy had her first slug week with zero miles. She was the last runner in group A that has avoided the dreaded slug of the week award so far. It was a good run (PUN INTENDED). The last 2 runners in group A are Jeff and Kelly. Jeff gets another bye week since due to his performance thus far but it wouldn't hurt for him to get to 100%. It would be a first in the group and there could be a special prize from the running gods waiting for him there. Kelly has gone on the injured reserve list until next spring. We wish her a fast recovery as always and she can now be our #1 FAN!!

 In group B, there were only 2 people who ran. This is sad :-(.  Backman ran 11 miles last week to bring him to 63% of his goal of 100 miles. The other runner was Pritch who logged 5 miles last week to put him at 41% of his 75mi goal. The others were all slugs: Cheeks, Huff, Salvioli.

**As of right now, a vote will be initiated to kick Cheeks the super-Slug off our running island unless he petitions the idea. Please send Joe an email with a yay or nay to keep him in the group going forward.**

Week 6 Run Tracker

Week 6 is complete and there are only 4 weeks left to reach your goals!! (hint: should be at 60% of goal)

 In group A there was some good and some bad. Leading the week was Josh who was one of our slugs last week. He ran 12 miles to bring him up to 27% of his goal. Next was Joe who picked up his mileage from the past week weeks logging 8 miles. Kelly came right after him putting in her last 6 miles for a while since she had her foot surgery last week. We all wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery!! Then there was Betsy who ran 3 miles last week to leave her at 31% of her goal. Jeff still stands the closest to his goal with the club but did not run last week as he planned. For this he gets a slug pass. However, MC is not so lucky and for the first time joins our 2 other slugs this week.

In Group B, believe it not not, Pritch had the highest mileage! He ran 5 miles to bring him to 35% of his goal. Close behind him was Huff with 4 miles last week putting him at 18% of his 120 mile goal. Backman was right behind him with 3.7 miles logged. Up until this point he was on track to finish his goal but I have a feeling he can get right back next week. Mike and Cheeks both logged zero miles to join MC as slugs.

**There will be a vote next week to kick Cheeks off our running island if he decides to continue this trend.
