October 22 Run

If you are still interested in receiving our weekly emails for Stewie Striders, please let me know.  I am going to switch from sending them from my school email address to my personal email address at runjimparryrun@gmail.com.  This will make it easier for me to see responses and reply more quickly to questions.  If I don't hear from you, I will assume you are not interested in running with us in the future.

Saturday, 6am at the lights by Subway.  I will not be there, as I am pacing the 4:15 marathon group for the MN PACERS at the Mankato Marathon.  www.mankatomarathon.com  Wish me luck...I hope that running once a week all year will get me there, with the exception of a longer running week the end of May.

Oct. 7 Run

6am at the lights. Let me know if anyone wants to get out earlier.


For those regulars: see the email Becky Kidd just sent. Sounds like fun!  I've been thinking that a run out at Ironwood needs to be done soon too!

Oct 1 Run

6am at the lights.  I thought about running 41 miles this day to celebrate another year, but won't have enough time for that.

September 24 Run

Mel's out of town this weekend, so I will be sleeping late with the kids Saturday morning. You will need to assemble yourselves. 6am at the lights.


Jim

September 10 Run

I will be out of town again this weekend, pacing the Get Ready to Rock 20 Mile in White Bear Lake, so you will need to assemble yourselves.  I'm assuming that means 6am at the lights.  I suppose we need to clarify that we mean the lights by Subway, with the addition of the lights by Casey's.  I will have to go to the new intersection to see how long the wait is.

August 28 Run

6am at the lights.  Turns out I will be here Saturday, as the 1/2 marathon I am pacing in Woodbury is Sunday morning.  Let me know if anyone needs to get out earlier and I can meet you.

August 20 Run

August 6

Rebecca, Becky, Russ, Kevin, and Jim all ran this morning.

August 6 Run

6am at the lights.  If anyone wants to get out earlier, let me know.  I need to be home by 6:45 either way.  Looking forward to hearing how the race out at Ironwood went.  I'm sure it was very uncomfortable out there, as running in Red Wing 1/2 was miserable.  See my post on pacing the race there.

Also, if you are interested - the story of Mr. Parry's Endurance Challenge has been included in a book recently published by Endurance Planet.  It is called the Endurance Planet's Big Book of Bravado "Tales of Extreme Endurance" and is a collection of stories about ordinary people trying to accomplish something extraordinary through their respective endurance sports.  See the above link to my blog for a link to ordering information.
