And the winner is...Blackhawk Boys. I have mixed feelings about the name, but I'm happy they chose it, and they seem to like it. Well, about half of them like it.
If you recall, I made reference to a cool T-Shirt give away if you came up with the winning name. So, without further ado, the winner of the Boys Running Club Name Contest is....
NONE OF YOU.
AND ALL OF YOU.....
Yep, even though the name was thought up by the boys, if you took the time to comment on this blog I would like to give you a small gift. It's my way of saying thank you for your support and encouragement. Just email me at pwimberly@drsmgmt.com with your mailing address and I will send you several packets of each of these:
Simple.
Since I am going camping this weekend, I'm doing my 20 Mile Progression Run this afternoon. I tend to have difficulty building slowly and gradually to a faster pace throughout a long run, which is unfortunate because this is exactly the type of race plan I'm hoping to execute next month.
So, today's run is important practice.
Wish me luck!
I figured mine wouldn't make it...you know, since it's too long and all ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that run today! I should try something like that sometime. I'm always the opposite on long runs.
Awe, I became so distracted with life that I forgot to give you my name. But it sounds like the boys chose one of their own, which is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the run today. 20 miles is not small task, even without trying to do the progression stuff.
Lets hear it for the Blackhawk Boys!!! Woo hoo:) It is so cool that they picked it themselves!! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am glad they found a name for themselves. Good luck with the 20 miler!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the 20 miler and Yay! we get a gift too :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that they found a name themselves.
The postmaster sends me back my email immediately...the address you give is not working. Just so you know :)
