II. New Year, New You

It is the end of January and the snow and cold has prevented a lot of us from getting outside and running like we had hoped. We have been forced to adapt and maybe make some compromises. I don’t know about you but there is only some much you can do on the treadmill or inside on the small gym track. I like to get out and be in the fresh air. It has been hard to keep to our fitness goals and accomplish what we had hoped. It might be time to rethink or rededicate ourselves to those goals.

Runners World has a series of links about setting goals and making changes to our work outs. So if you have some time look at New Year, New You …

III. Running for Ry
I have attached info about a run and an auction to benefit the Rylan Newman Benefit Fund.


IV. Food For Thought

A man … had a small bull-terrier that could whip all the dogs of the neighborhood. The owner of a large dog which the terrier had whipped asked the owner of the terrier how it happened that the terrier whipped every dog he encountered. “That,’ said the owner of the terrier, “is no mystery to me; your dog and other dogs get half through a fight before they are ready; now, my dog is always mad!”

- A favorite anecdote showing his followers how they should have a sense of urgency and enthusiasm toward attainment of their goals.
- Take from Lincoln on Leadership: Executive Strategies for Tough Times by Donald T. Phillips.

Go after those goal!!!

Eagle Running Club -- PTA Challenge

I have been working with Kim Ponder and the PTA to create something we are calling The Eagle Running Club -- PTA Challenge.

Basically individuals will pay $10 to join in the Challenge. They will track their mileage from Mid-October to Mid-April. It would be mileage from running, walking, biking or swimming. Each Sunday they will email me their mileage from the week and I will keep track of it. When they sign up for the Challenge they will link to a school, primary, elementary, middle school or high school. At the end of the Challenge whichever school has the most mileage will receive all of the money raised. We will present that school's principal with a check that they can spend on their school in a way that helps encourage physical fitness in their school.

Over the next couple of days you will receive copies of the sign up form to send home to students. If you need more or have questions please let me know.

I invite all of you to join the Challenge. I feel it is a great way for us to model positive behavior and to help Southern Boone County schools. I am attaching a registration form to this email that you can fill out and return to me in order to join the Challenge.

By joining this Challenge not only will you be able to help yourself but also the Southern Boone schools. When you join the Challenge you will receive bi-weekly Eagle Running Club Newsletters that only Challenge members will have access to. The newsletters will include fitness tips and mileage updates. Members of the Challenge will be qualified for special giveaways and possible discounts on local runs.

Thank you for your support!

- I am going to try to keep sending out workouts. They will be based on what we will be doing at XC practice. If you have any questions or need any help please let me know.
