There's a lot going on both at work and on the trails this month for the Champlain Running Team.  The advisors sat down Friday evening over an awesome dinner to plan out some events and concepts we're going to instill once the new season begins.  Marketing continues to be our biggest opportunity to encourage new runners to attend events, and hopefully out efforts will pay off this Fall.

I'm not one to complain on my own running ability, but the 2009 Marathon seems to have affected my hip area, and it's making it difficult to continue training for next years race.  I'm a bit nervous of getting my time down to a 3:09 for the event, but I hope that when I look back on this blog in 2010, I'll laugh at my inability to realize that I'm going to have a very successful year of running.

Running is always an issue in the Winter up here in Vermont, and it really depends on how motivated people are, to determine how well you'll run.  Winter is not the time to run alone, and I hope we have a lot of frosty runners to keep motivation high starting in November.  Several races stand between us and the 2010 Marathon, and I'm hoping this will be a phenomenal season.
