Hi Runners,
Great pasta dinner last night. I hope you all enjoyed the good food, great company and pre-race talk. Thank you to everyone who made the dinner possible. We would not be able to have a pasta dinner without all the help and willingness from all of you.
As race day gets closer your nervousness may start to increase, rest assured that a little bit of nervousness is normal. The hard work of training is behind you. Enjoy the race on Sunday for what it is.
Be sure to get enough sleep, eat properly and stay hydrated in the days leading up to the race.

Pilates for Runners– October 27th at 10am
Join Gazelle Sports and Align Fitness for a FREE Pilates Class.
Gain core strength and flexibility when you add Pilates to your fitness routine. Running is a fantastic cardiovascular workout but can lead to imbalances in your body when it’s the only exercise you do. Pilates is an excellent compliment to your existing running routine as it strengthens the muscles that support the joints like the hips, ankles and knees. When Pilates is done consistently, it provides for a stronger back, reduced risk of injury, and a more efficient running form.
Space is limited to 30 participants. To save your spot email Aeisen@gazellesports.com by October 26.
