Rocks & Runs & Test Block, oh my!

Howdy, all!  Man, it seems like it's been a while since I've sent one of these out!  Couple of things going on:

POTLUCK
Thurs Nov 4, @ 6:30 - ?
Aubrae Filipiak  /  2505 NW 12th, OKC  /  845.702.5480
It's test block week for all us 2nd years, and I just realized that we have nothing planned - guess I've been slacking a bit!  I'm going to host a potluck at my house this Thursday, Nov 4 beginning at 6:30.  I'll make up a big ol' pot of soup, have some bread and some drinks.  If you'd like to come, bring a small dish to share and a beverage, if you want anything specific.  Drop me a quick note/phone call/text to let me know you're coming, if you would please.  (And, PS, last time I did a potluck EVERYONE brought dessert - let's diversify a bit, please!!)

ROCKS
Some of you might remember our botched attempt to go rock climbing last year - not enough RSVPd to get us the group rate, but then after the fact a billion people told me that they would've gone.   There will be a cost associated with this course - the total cost depends on the size of our group (more ppl = less $$), but will not exceed $20/person (and, depending on interest could be much lower).  The cost covers a 60 min belay class, shoes/harness rental and access to the gym for the rest of that day.  If you have your own shoes/harness, your cost will be reduced. If at all possible I'd like to do this in the next month or so, before it starts to get too cold!  So let's try this again: if you are interested in attending a group Intro to Climbing class at Rocktown, please send an email to: oustudentalliance@gmail.com with the subject line ROCKS. 

RUNS
The OKC Marathon is Sunday, May 1, 2011 and I want to get a training group together for it.  There are options for all fitness/ambition levels: the full 26.2 miles, a half marathon (13.1), a 26.2 mi relay (btw 5 runners) and a 5K walk.  If you are interested in training for this or just having a group of people to run/walk with on a regular basis, this is for you!  Here's the site for more info, including registration deadlines.  I'll most likely be training for the half, and have a friend who's a regular marathoner, as well as a track/field coach, putting together some training plans for me that we will use as a guide. Our plan will likely include 3 group training runs each week: 1 sprint and/or hill workout, 1 short run and 1 long run. If you're interested in running with me, please send an email to oustudentalliance@gmail.com with the subject line RUNS.  In the email, please tell me the best two weeknights for you to do short runs. 

That's it for now - see ya soon!
