We are sorry for the inconvenience, this is STILL the NF Endurance Energy Blog. We updated our WordPress version and it kind of messed things up... ehh errr... It should hopefully be fixed soon!
TREAD
Stuck in a treadmill rut? Try one of Runners World’s coaching videos on YouTube and boost your marathon fitness even when staying indoors.
PLAN What are you Endurance goals for 2010? For Siobhan Clarke, it is the opportunity to run in an event for NF Endurance. Karen Trommer wants to run more and walk less at the ING Georgia Marathon in March. Jennifer Walsh would like to be able to complete the “Friends Ride for Neurofibromatosis” — 85 miles along Cape Cod, Mass. on a bicycle. Send us your Endurance goal and maybe some strategies you plan on using too.
CHEER
We have 17 runners at the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon and 1/2 this weekend. So far they have raised more than $2,400 for NF research. Check out their efforts here. Steve will also be hiking the Grand Canyon with Bill Hardy.
Check out our cyclists in Clermont, Fla. crossing the finish line. “From those who rode the 25 miler, to the 70 mile sojourners all the way to the Happy 100s – each of you did a great job conquering the hills of central Florida,” said Tracy Draper, team captain coordinator.
In San Antonio we saw runners come together from Texas to New York to raise more than $18K. Ted by Jason and Katy Wakin, Team Denver has raised almost $10,000. Read here for more of their fundraising efforts. And, speaking of Team Denver, look at what Jason and Katy have done to share their Team Hero to the world. “TEAM” and “DENVER” are on the tennis shoe tongues. NikeID allows you to customize your sneaks with a personal message. The Wakin’s, of course, chose “Team Denver.” And, with someone as cute as little Denver, why wouldn’t you want the world to know who you RUNFOR?
ROCK
We have more than 30 runners hitting the streets of San Antonio this weekend. They have raised more than $18K so far. Our pasta dinner is at the Spaghetti Warehouse @ 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14th. And, on the 14th, Texas NF will host a symposium. We have several of the Texas NF staff running with us too with Susan Johnson and Cindy Hahn lacing up and wearing neon on Sunday.
MUNCH
…on your own custom granola bar. Similar to the mix your own granola we mentioned earlier, this website, called You Bar, offers one of Kevin Leachman’s (one of our team captains in San Antonio) favorite snack indulgences — custom granola bars. Great for gifts or snacks on the fly, You Bar customizes your preferences from what type of base to the sweetener used. The best part? You choose the name! We need an Endurance mix!
RIDE
Led by Anthony Gallo, 30 runners will tackle the “mountains” of Central Florida in this weekend’s Horrible Hundred event. It’s the 30th anniversary of the event in Clermont in Florida and Tracy Draper is in town to staff this biking event.
