Tuesday Night Run

Run. Tonight. 6:00. PM. Be there.

It's a beautiful day in sunny Fort Thomas, KY. We'll be meeting in the usual spot across from Highlands High School. We'll have all sorts of joyous routes to choose from. If you're not there, I fully expect a doctor's note because there's no reason not to run on a night like tonight.

Cool Thoughts

This is not me giving inspirational or noteworthy thoughts. This is me thinking that I will somehow stay cool during tonight's run while there's supposed to be a heat index of close to 110 degrees. I don't know about you, but I sure miss the days when we had seasons other than burning ass hot summer and freezing ass cold winter. What were those other seasons called again? I know it's now technically summer and thus I shouldn't complain anymore about not having a spring. Tonight, I am running as a protest against the 97 degree heat with 110 degree heat index. If anyone should like to join in on this protest, please be in the parking lot across from Highlands High School at 6:00 pm (which Cash Cab tought me last night means "post meridiem") armed with running/walking shoes and thoughts of Antarctica and penguins.

Saturday Morning Run!

Come join us tomorrow morning at 8:30 am in the parking lot across from Highlands High School. Again, we'll have different routes planned out for all sorts of distances. Walkers, runners, fast, slow, in-shape, out-of-shape, everyone is encouraged to come. Remember, running = fun. Be there!

Race Training

The purpose of the Fort Thomas Running Club is to get people out running, whether they've been running their whole lives or just starting. There is no commitment to running certain races or doing certain things, it's just pure fun and exercise. However, as the club progresses, I am going to keep people up to date with different running opportunities that I have come across and/or am participating in or have participated in. This fall presents those sorts of opportunities. I know the thought of training for a half marathon or full marathon during the brutally hot/humid summer months in the Cincinnati area is enough to induce heat stroke. However, there are a lot of fun marathons that are within driving distance from the Cincy area. As of right now, I am planning on running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon on November 6, 2010. I will start a training program in the next week or two and would be more than willing to share my runs with anyone else interested in doing that marathon or any other marathon around the same time. Let me know if you're interested and I'll provide you with the training resources that I've found most helpful.

Tuesday Night Run

There's a run tonight at 6:00 from Highlands. We'll have distances planned out from anywhere from 1-10 miles. It's also been suggested to incorporate some runs that go through the trails at Tower Park, which sounds like a marvelous idea to me. Unfortunately, after the torrential downpour last night, I'm not sure that tonight will be the best night to be slopping around on the trails. But, that's something to keep in mind for the future. Come out tonight, bring a friend, or two or three and have some fun running with people you may or may not already know.

Running in the Rain

In case you were wondering, yes, we run in the rain. In case you haven't done it, running in the rain is actually fun, unless it's 33 degrees and raining. So come on out and join us. Barring some sort of natural disaster, I'll be running rain or shine.

Saturday Run

Hey Everyone!

Who had a stressful week at work? There is no single better release than running. Come out and start your Saturday off right with a run. Our run starts at 8:30 in the parking lot across from Highlands High School. Come out and have some fun. Again, we'll have routes planned out for anywhere from 1 to 10 miles. All paces and experiences encouraged!

Run Tonight!

Having our first group run tonight. Whether you can make it to the group run or not, go for a run tonight! It's a beautiful day today in NKY, which means an enjoyable run even for first-timers. Bring a friend. There's no commitment, no set distance or pace you need to be able to run. We just want to get the people of Fort Thomas running.

Tuesday's Run

Special thanks to Mark Collier and Darrin Murriner for posting a link to our blog on Fort Thomas Matters. Hope that will garner some attention to the running club. Best way to get people involved though is by word of mouth. Start spreading the word that on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings, the place to be is running or walking through the streets of Fort Thomas. We have trees, we have beautiful houses, we have safe (low speed limit) roads! I can't think of a better place to enjoy a run in the NKY area. The more people we have, the more fun it will be as people with similar paces and mileage can team up and enjoy their runs together.

New Run/Walk Club

Welcome! There is no better place in Northern Kentucky to get out for a run or walk than Fort Thomas! That is why we have decided to start the Fort Thomas Run and Walk Club. This is for anyone, from avid runners to beginners. All paces are encouraged! This is a great way to get out and get moving.

If you would like to get out, train, or just meet new people then come join us! We will meet Tuesday evenings at 6:00 PM and Saturday mornings at 8:30 AM in the parking lot across from Highlands High School - off Memorial Parkway. We will have routes planned out for runs/walks of 1 to 10 miles.

The first run will be Tuesday, June 8, 2010. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions/concerns email me at chris.deinlein@gmail.com

Hope for a good turn out for a good time!
