Well we have you, Doc and Nikki. If everybody has their races in the database, I'll be happy to do a special Turkey Day race preview this week! Later today I'll do an update on my year so far. Not much quality but some very interesting races! Huggs Becky who is NOT going to do a thanksgiving day race this year.

I will start this topic.
I, and my daughter, plan on running a race T.G. day in Nashua, NH. A 5k through some flat trails along the canal by the old High School.
I'm looking to go about 19:30.
Who else is racing this holiday week? A R.S. blessing on you and your legs.
GRUMPY:
Cool that you found Watervliet NY and MI. A side note:
I was Superintendent of Schools in Watervliet MI from 1985-1993. It is a small
rural fruit farming community. Two versions of the townname that I heard are:
1. Watervliet means where the rivers flow.
2. Indian chief name - probably Potawatomi
GRUMPY you are the man!
Keep on running.

COACH & DAUGHTER:
Hey, good luck. If you would post your upcoming races in the Database, Future
Races, everyone (who cares) would know that you two are racing. There are only
two races listed there right now. 19:30 on trails is pretty fast.
NEVADA NIKKI is racing and I am racing the Southwestern Michigan College (where
I spend my first two years of college and my hometown in 1966-68) running trails
(which I helped cut and groom as a 19 year old sophomore). It is the annual
Turkey Trot 8K. It is fun and very challenging as 19 years olds like to cut
trails that are demanding.
My race is on Monday Nov. 23. Good luck to all ROADS SCHOLARS racers.
Praying for a wonderful and thankful Thanksgiving for all my RS friends and
family.
Keep on running.

Your diagnosis is correct, Doc. Sorry I missed you this year (and apparently
last year as well), Joyce, but just wait 'til next year. Happy belated
birthday, and by way of atonement here is a tribute to Kitchener, which looks

Thanks for the shout-out Grumpus...I would never have guessed Wildwater Kingdom

BURNIN:
Atta girl. I have use a treadmill training in bad weather when I was training
for the 25K last year. I think it helped keep injuries down. I did watch a lot
of movies, etc. to keep my mind active during the long runs.
Perhaps if I can to Maine to run with CARIBOU COACH, you could encounte with us.
More later.
Keep on running.

COACH:
That is my kind of attitude. Not sure but I might visit my MD Son in
Providence, RI this coming year. He is the one that did the USA Marathon Trials
in 2000 and Hawaii Ironman a few years ago. Probably run a race with him.
Might even swing up to Caribou from there (about 8 hours). Get in shape and
send me a list of races that you are thinking of doing. The smaller the better.
Seems like everytime ROAD SCHOLARS try an encounter at a big race, things go
badly.
I am still hurting from the sciatica but I am training (kinda) and will run the
8k Trail race back in my hometown next Monday.
More later - keep on runing.

Ha- I knew your treadmill was in the garage but I didn't know why. I actually think that is a good place for it, though! Mine is in my basement as it is the coolest spot in the house. (Didn't think about the garage! Not enough room there though, unless I permanently remove my car!) Since my house is on a hill the basement has a walk out door- the only door to the house with no steps, and it's larger than most doors- phew!
We had a tough time with the assembly. Was about to throw in the towel but the support person on the phone helped. It was finally done late Saturday so I haven't used it other than a brief walk to test that it worked! I ran outside yesterday and am taking today off...but tomorrow I will run on it. :)
Subject: [TheRoadsScholar] Re: did you guys see this?
Hi Vicki of the Burnin' Bush variety!
Yes, it was a shock that Boston closed so early. It's become a subject of speculation on the running boards everywhere. Our own small town girl, Devere Karlson, qualified again this year and I see she's made the list for 2010. At 52, she just ran the ING New York City Marathon in 3:27, finishing 17th of the 1276 in the division. Yowza!
Congratulations on the new treadmill! Having one in the garage has sure made my life easier. I've worked it out so that I can get in a good fast 5K a couple times a week and then take Hank out for an additional couple miles in our usual stop-n-go manner.
Good luck with the assembly! Mine was second hand so it was ready to go. Wouldn't fit in the door in one piece so the garage is where it stays. LOL! Nevada Nikki

did not sign up in time and are very dissapointed. Told them think about 2011!

Getting it in the house and out of the box..just that was a huge project.. Now I am waiting for John to help with the assembly. Anyway, once I get it going it will help me with winter training when the roads here in New Hampshire and covered with snow and ice and cars....(it's really the car part that is the problem!)
Subject: [TheRoadsScholar] Wow, are things slow here on the board
The last post was Nov 7. I guess the racing season is over except for T.G.
Things are starting to go better for me. The knee, shoulder, neck and heel are treating me nicely for now, so I have decided that 2010 will be a banner year for this 50+ year old. I think I can have only one or two really good years per decade now that I am so old. I am still waiting for my race with/against DOC.
I have also started a new job 2 months ago. I teach math at the Caribou Adult Ed. center. Maine is undergoing an Educational consolidation so we are actually, for the time being, called Eastern Aroostook RSU 39.
I also learned, via Face Book, that a former athlete of mine will be doing her first Ironman Triathlon in Florida this year. I love to see my former runners continue in the sport that I love.
