A Little City, A Little Country, and A Little Rock n' Roll (17 Miler or Pick Your Distance)

Training Plan Updates

The half marathon training plan for Akron is done.  If you'd like a copy, please email me at hopebradley26.2@gmail.com  I still need to finish the full marathon training plan (SORRY, Teresa).  I'll have those done by next Saturday.  The training won't start until June 6th.  So, nobody is behind!! 

Leadership and Volunteers

Most of you know I'm training for the Burning River 100 along with another victim, Steve Brooker.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to get the group started or run with the group for the next couple of weeks.  All my weekend training has to be done on poison ivy infested trails and I'm running with other 100 milers-in-training this month.  I will miss you all very much, but I'll try and keep the routes fun and exciting.  THANK YOU to our wonderful aid station volunteers.  I can be reached at 330-819-6846 or at the email address listed above for anything!!!  Happy training, Trotters!
