Heroes (K&K) Weekend!

Hey Gang:

I just wanted to give a shout out to K & K.  They have sacrificed a lot over the past six months to dedicate themselves to training for Sunday's LA Marathon.  Each Saturday, they drove to Griffith Park to train with me and they have been running on their own during the week.  They have overcome pain (Kirsten's ankle - yikes), emotional highs and lows, and the mental torture of having to listen to my rambling Coach's talks.   I am so proud of these two OHers who are joining the ranks of many several other OHers who have dared to do "the impossible."  In addition, they have raised thousands of dollars for people living with HIV/AIDS.  I am proud of all of my 118 runners who will be running this weekend, but these two make me really proud because of all that they have accomplished in the last couple of years.  Lets hear some kudos for K & K for taking on 26.2, an awesome distance!  Remember to think positive thoughts for them on Sunday and watch for them on KNBC in the morning! Here's a toast to you Kirsten and Kevin! Your Coach, Scott

Hi Coach..

Miss you and your rambling coach talks. I still hear them when I am doing my work outs. So its all good. You have done some much for us and APLA.

YOU is the bomb!!!

Luana

Hey Luana, I miss you too!  I love my OH runners!  I would love to see you back next fall for training again!  We are Rome bound for next year!  An Italian Marathon/vacation sounds great, doesn't it? Love you, Scott

Ok peeked interest...Rome...what's the amount that needs to be raised.  I've been dying to do a Marathon and now you mention Rome too...details Scott!! Ms Shell

Hey Ms. Shell, The fundraising amount is $4400.  Your airfare and hotel stay (as well as the marathon fee) are paid for.  Take a look at the Rome marathon website by googling Rome Marathon - the pictures look amazing!  Running by the Coliseum, Vatican City, etc... Jump in! Scott

So it's in March...Definitely look me up.  I was almost going to do a 1/2 marathon last year, but just couldn't commit!  The more I loose the more determined I am to do a marathon and in ROME...OMG I'd love it! Ms Shell

I sooooooooo want to do this!!!  Have any great ideas how we can raise that much money????  Yikes!!!  $4400????

OMG that's like Four thousand Four hundred...YIKES indeed! FYI:  I'm so proud to have gotten to meet the double K threat.  You guys are so gonna rock the marathon on Sunday!!  Congratulations! Ms Shell

Scott, I am so proud of them both.  I know how they feel.  They will have such a thrill as they cross the finish line.  I will be there on Sunday but I will be doing the bike tour.  It will be a quick 20 odd miles.  We start at the Colisuem at 0545.  WIll you be at the expo?  If so when. Liz

Hey Liz, I will be there Friday from open to close and then again on Saturday from 9-11.  I might be back on Saturday from 2-3:30.  I would love to see you!  I know that you will have a great ride! love you, Scott
