Thanks for a Great Season!

The marathon season is over and with that we are officialy closed for spring and summer. Training will resume in August for those wanting to run Rock N Roll Arizona. We'll work with you on a one-on-one basis if you are interested in running a fall marathon. We will do some group fun runs this spring and summer so check back from time to time and feel free to contact me anytime.

Regards,

Brian Craze

Volunteers Needed

The following message is from Torey Rodriguez, Special Events Manager for the City of Jacksonville. If you can help, please let me know as soon as possible:


Hi Brian!
I am contacting you on behalf of 26.2 with Donna, The National Marathon to Fight Breast Cancer in Jacksonville, Florida. This marathon is the only marathon in the nation solely dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. It is our inaugural and we are very excited. With the help of Jeff Galloway and Galloway Training Groups across the nation, we have been promoting our marathon at various marathon expos. We are about to make our second visit Phoenix for the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon Health & Fitness Expo and I am looking volunteers to help staff our booth and hand out information on our marathon and our cause. We counted on Galloway help last year and I am really hoping we will have Galloway support this year. If you or any of your team or team's family would be interested in helping we would be more than grateful. I have listed the hours of the expo below and we are looking for about 3 volunteers per day. I will send everything to the expo ahead of time and we will have a staff member there to set it up and work through out the expo but will still need help staffing.

Expo Hours:
Friday, January 11 - 10:00 a.m. to 7:00p.m.
Saturday, January 12 - 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m.

Congrats to all the marathoners for finishing their 26 mile training run, and to the 1/2 marthoners on there 12 miler. Less than 4 weeks to go...you're almost there!

Layer It On

Winter is finally here and only going to get colder between now and January 13th. Starting out on a morning can be quite cold, after a little while you start to warm up, then by the end of the run you're hot. Try layering your clothing so you can adjust as the air or your body temperature changes. Gloves liners are great for cold mornings as well as head bands to cover your ears. Keep a dry shirt or jacket in your bag for after the run. And remember, there's always a Starbucks within a few miles!
