Last Week
Wound up taking last week off from the newsletter as I was visiting customers in beautiful northeast Ohio (aka Akron & Cleveland).
New Member
Welcome to Kerrie Sheehe. Kerrie lets is know, "Hi. I'm in Quakertown and I've lived here for about a year. I've been looking for a running club to join. I've run a few races around here, but I would like to find a group that meets often, so I can work on my speed and develop a few friendships so when I do run local races, the faces are familiar. I've run the Rotary 10 miler last March (planning to again this year), I've run the Philly half in Sept, I'm running the Lehigh half and the Bucks County half, both in April." Kerrie and her husband moved to the area from Ohio (see above) about a year ago and she is looking for running buddies in the Quakertown area.
Group Run
Let's go for our next group event at Lake Galena on Feb 18. We'll meet at Sailor's Point at 10:00 for a 6 mile loop around the lake. Then we'll head off for a meal, the real reason for doing this. Feel free to show up early if you want to run more of loll around and run less if you want. RSVP to me if you're coming so we have an idea of the headcount. I'm confident that Punxatawny Phil is wrong.
ODDyssey Offer
Here's an offer from Carl Ewald, director of Philly's May 26 ODDyssey Half Marathon. Scroll down the calendar to the race website for details. Band up with our homies to get treated like elite athletes!
Things are going really well with the ODDyssey Half Marathon. We are excited to introduce our new Ambassador program for the 2012 ODDyssey Half Marathon. We are looking for people like you who are leaders in the running community. All you have to do is tell your friends and running team members about the race and you can earn all sorts of cool perks. Benefits of Ambassadorship are:
- Recruit 5 Runners and your entry is free
- Recruit 10 Runners and you will also get VIP front of line access to the beer line and massage zone.
- Recruit 20 Runners and we will erect a tent for you and your friends to celebrate.
- Recruit 30 Runners and we will rent a private port-a-pottie for you and your friends!
I have attached our flyer for the program. All you have to do is tell me that you want to sign up and we will get you started. We will add your name to our list of ambassadors on the registration form and when one of your contacts registers they can list you as the person who introduced them to the ODDyssey. You will receive credit for each person who chooses your name.
Last year was great and this year will be even better. I am hoping that we will be able to announce our new beer sponsor by the end of this week. Megabus will be back again this year with the shuttle from Center City. Phila Massage will be hosting the massage zone again this year and the beer garden will be more than doubling in size. I hope that you will run with us this year and I hope that you will join our ambassador program as well.
