Now it is time to get together for the first annual NRC Christmas Party. It will be held on Thursday, November 22nd at 7:00 at Southside Grill. For those who haven’t been to Southside, it is located at 6601 Sugar Valley Drive (less than 10 minutes away from Mama’s Java). Please be sure to RSVP by next Tuesday (12/13) so that we can let Southside know how many people to expect. If you have any questions, please feel free to give Scott a call at 394-0821.

Thanks and Happy Holidays from NRC!!!!

Hello All!  Remember our Saturday morning run begins at 7:30 a.m from Martin’s.  There are always several route options depending on your mileage needs for the day.  It may be a little cold but at least some sunshine is predicted!

Also, to those running the Rocket City Marthon in Huntsville tomorrow (John Pryor, Christ Beth Adams, and David Canas)… Best of luck!!

Beginning this week we will be moving the Wednesday night run to Mama’s Java.  Start time will remain at 6:15 p.m.  Meeting at Mama’s Java instead of Martin’s will allow us a place to gather during the cold, dark nights of winter while we are waiting for everyone to arrive and to make any announcements. There is plenty of parking around the back so try to use those spaces in order to keep the front ones open for patrons of the other businesses. Thanks and spread the word!  Hope to see everyone this week….

Don’t forget your reflective gear!

I have several things to post this week, so here goes …

First off, running plans for tomorrow!  We will meet at Martin’s at 7:30 a.m.  There are options for everyone depending on individual mileage and pace goals.  Afterward, head to Mama’s Java for some post run refueling!   Hope to see some of you there!

Second… we have several NRC members racing this weekend!     Best of luck to Scott Alexander, Kelli Alexander, and Shawn Berkau who will be in Vegas to run the ½ Marathon!  What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (unless it is news about a PR!)     Good luck to Darryl who is running the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis!      Also, good luck to those running in the Jingle Bell 5K (Laurie, Kelly and anyone else)!

Way to represent NRC!!

Scott asked me to mention that beginning this Wednesday (December 7) our Wednesday night runs are going to start from Mama’s Java instead of Martin’s.  We have decided to make this change so that we can stay inside during the colder months as we take the time to gather and make announcements. The time will remain at 6:15 p.m.  Saturday runs however will still start from Martin’s.

If you have not already heard… our NRC Ragnar Relay team created a video (thanks to Amy Owsley) of the experience! It has been submitted to the Ragnar video contest.  We are trying to get the most votes in order to win a free entry for next year.  You must be on Facebook in order to vote.  Visit the NRC Facebook page to get the link and vote! 

Last but not least!  Remember Sunday from 4-5 at the Nolensville United Methodist Church – FREE YOGA by our very own NRC member, Erin Pryor!

Hey everyone!!  NRC is meeting Saturday morning at 7:30 for our regular Saturday run.  Most will be running anywhere from 5-8 miles although others may decide to run a few more.  Come on out and join us for a fun run followed by breakfast at Mama’s Java!!

There aren’t many things in life that are free.  However, one of our very own NRC’ers is giving us an opportunity to do something beneficial for our bodies without spending a dime!!  Erin Pryor will be conducting a beginner’s yoga session on Sundays from 4:00 – 5:00 at Nolensville United Methodist Church.  All you will need is a mat (or towel if you don’t own a mat) and comfortable clothes.  The class will take place in the fellowship hall.  If you park at the back of the church and enter the building through the back door, the fellowship hall is the first room that you will enter.  Aren’t familiar with the location of the church?  It is on Nolensville Road less than half a mile from the old Nolensville Elementary School (heading away from Nashville).

Thanks Erin for giving us runners a free and fun (it is fun….right?) way to do something that all of us need to do!!  I will be there and I hope to see many of you there as well 🙂

Over the last month, a large number of NRC’ers have completed marathons, half-marathons, and even a 196 mile relay!!  Although we still have a few who have upcoming races that they are training for, most of us are simply hoping to get in a nice, easy Saturday morning run.  With that being said, we will meet at 7:30am at Martin’s Barbecue and everyone can run the distance of their choice.  I know of a few runners who will be running 8 miles.  Others will be running 3-4 miles.  I will be running 6 miles at a 10 minute pace and would love to have some company!!  C’mon out and join us for a fun run followed by breakfast and fellowship at Mama’s Java

Hey All!  Here are the running plans that we know of for this week. Several of us are meeting at Martin’s at 6:30 a.m. to run between 6 and 9 miles at about a 9:15 – 9:30 pace. We should be back to Martin’s mid run around 7:30 a.m. if any one wants to join in. All are welcome!

Run Happy!!
