Scouting for Interest

Alright folks, so obviously its the summer and my blog is not as popular as it was in May and certainly the fact that I have failed to update the blog at all during this last few stretch is not helping, but I figured I'd post this up anyway and see what we find.

Now I live in Upper Dublin, more specifically Willow Grove, and am currently training for what will be my Junior Cross Country Season at Muhlenberg College, located in Allentown PA. As part of our summer training, I'm running a 3k time trial on July 28th at 8 P.M. at the Upper Dublin High School track. It is a cool, fun way for me to check up on what kind of shape I am in and compare it to previous years. Last year I had the help of one of my friends Michael Fuery from CHA who raced with me and helped push me to a dramatic improvement from my Freshman summer.

So why I am telling you all this? Well I was thinking that I like running this 3k time trial and I like having other people racing with me so I decided to try and enlist some guys I know of similar ability to come run with me. Then I decided the more the merrier so I invited all my friends, regardless of ability, to train and come out and run with me.

Logically, my train of thought then led me to etrain. Pun intended. I decided I post up on here and see if there is anyone who wanted to come out to the Upper Dublin track on that night to race the 3k and see where their mid summer training is at.

It doesn't matter your ability at all, I don't care if you are 100m ahead of me, behind me, whatever, I just like running with people. The distance I'm sure is too far from some people and I'm sure most people don't really want to go race with somebody who they only know through the internet but if anyone is interested please talk to me. Any age is welcome: post college, in college, pre college, doesn't matter.

I encourage you to talk with your other running friends in the community and plan to meet up, if not for this then for something else, to catch up and run together and gain some confidence or learn other training tactics or just have fun.

If there somehow is a sizeable contigent of people interested I will make sure I reserve the track, but if it is just going to be me and my buddies from school I'm not going to do anything like that. I'll just hop the fence and get somebody to time me and save the trouble.

So in conclusion, if you have any interest or questions in this run, either leave a comment here, email me at jf245031@muhlenberg.edu, or text or call me at 215-450-1099, also you can facebook me, I'm Jarrett Felix.
