I hope everyone is having a good 2009 so far. I just got the weekly Running Fit email and the Head Goat claims that this is one of the top ten coldest winters on record. Make sure you are dressed properly and be careful out there.
Don't forget the night run this Saturday January 31. I hope to see some of you out there. Make sure to wear headlamps and/or a handheld light. These night runs are meant to be fun - make sure you pair up with another runner especially if you haven't run the course before or haven't run it at night. Bird Hills looks a bit different after dark.

Phil Stapert, a fellow list member is planning a 70 mile run on the Waterloo-Pinckney trail over Memorial Day weekend in preparation for the Burning River 100. Details are still being worked out so if you are interested send him an email and you can plan the run together.
Please let me know of any events I may have missed. Also let me know if you have suggestions/complaints, comments.

If you are like me the only thing you stretch is the truth every now and then. For those of you thinking about adding more stretching into your routine Earl Wenk from Arbor Wellness has posted a rather comprehensive outline of stretching for runners. The stretches he demonstrates are what is known as Active Isolated Stretching or AIS. If you are interested you can download the brochure here: http://www.arborwellness.com/Stretching_for_Runners.pdf This will open up a 17 page pdf file which you can print and begin to incorporate into your workouts. If people are interested Earl is planning on putting together a class/demonstration of the technique. I will let you know when he sets the time/place/date.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Into The Nigth Run thru Bird Hills. It was a lot of fun.
I am thinking about doing another one in March at Island Lake. Any interest in a Friday the 13th March Madness Run? 6 or 9 miles. Gather at EG Nicks on Grand River after the run for food/drink. I am told they have a non-smoking section.
If you are interested let me know and I'll set it up.
