I was going too but I failed to sign up early enough. How did everyone do?

Good morning, y'all. I hope everyone's dreams came true at AFC last week. If not, recover and live to race another day.   I won't be at Wednesday's run. Shelby will be there to host it. To prove to you guys how much I trust her, I'm letting her raffle off a few things AND sign your Frequent Runner Cards. Veterans, please take care of her.   It's the last training run for the Nike Human Race on Wednesday, so we're raffling off two more Sportbands and a pair of Nike shoes. Every raffle entry from this month will be thrown into the pot for the shoes. Everyone who hasn't won shoes from us previously is eligible, including Sportband winners.   The Human Race itself will be taking place on Sunday and we have the details finalized. We will be doing a few loops around the neighborhood near Road Runner Sports. It's a 10k and it starts at 8 a.m. We'll have a water station, finish line refreshments, music and lots of giveaways. We'll also be giving a store discount for participants who want to shop that day and we'll open the store an hour early that day for participants (9 a.m.).   Two things . . . Make sure to register here:  https://www.signmeup.com/site/reg/register.aspx?fid=G62V9K7/   An RSVP on the Meetup site will not suffice.   Like I said before, if you're going to run you should have Nike+ technology. That being said, I highly recommend you calibrate it. If you're not sure how to do this, log on to nikeplus.com. Also, because of the inaccuracy of the Nike+ technology, we will make a course but your finish might vary depending on what your Sportband or iPod says. Be prepared to run until it says 6.2 miles.   Think of this as more of a fun run than a race! It's an important day for the global running community and it would be pretty cool to say you were a part of it.   See you on Sunday.   -Garrett

What's up, friends? Welcome to those of you new to my email list. Make sure to check running.meetup.com/134 for more details on the Road Runner Sports Wednesday Group Run and other unaffiliated free group runs.   This month we've been using the Wednesday run as a training run for the Nike Human Race, a 10k on Sunday, Aug. 31. The details have been a bit fuzzy about that run, but they're finally becoming clearer. It will be the biggest sporting event ever with more than 1 million people participating around the world. There will be 25 main host cities, the closest being LA, where Nike will hold a big event.   Here's what you need to know:   We're giving away Nike Sportbands, which use the Nike+ technology to track your pace and distance, at the Wednesday run this month. Also, I'm holding all of the raffle entries for the month and using them to raffle off a pair of Nike shoes at the end of the month.   For the race itself, you can go up to LA, you can just run on your own with your Nike+ technology (Sportband or iPod) and then upload your info to nikeplus.com or you can find a local host site. Road Runner Sports will be a local host site. If you're going to run with us, you might register here: https://www.signmeup.com/site/reg/register.aspx?fid=G62V9K7   Two important things to note about running with us:   1. You must run with Nike+ technology. The whole point of the run is for everyone to upload their info to nikeplus.com to have proof of the number of participants across the world.   2. We will not have police support for the course that morning, so, depending on the number of entrants, we might run 12+ loops around the RRS facilities. Otherwise, we will run a couple of loops in the neighborhood, trying to avoid traffic as much as possible. We will have a water station or two and volunteers out on the course. If you're going to run with us, look at the event as an opportunity to participate in something massive and groundbreaking for the global running community instead of a chance at PR. Chances are our course will not be conducive to the event being a race as much as a fun run.   Feel free to email me with any questions.   -Garrett

 6/30/08 Hello, good friends! Just wanted to update you on this week's run. We're doing another predictor run, meaning you run without a watch or iPod, predict your 5 mile time before the run and run at your normal conversational pace like every week. The top male and female closest to their prediction will win Saucony shoes. You can run on Wednesday with your iPod, but you won't be eligible for the shoes.   If you don't have a Frequent Runner Card, see me at the next run and I'll give you one. After 10 runs, you can stop by the store to pick up some free schwag or get a discount. I'm still finalizing the details, so if your card is full, hold onto it. It'll be worth the wait.   If you're new to my email list, check out the website http://running.meetup.com/134 to find out more info about the Road Runner Sports runs on Wednesdays and other free group runs during the week.   See you Wednesday,   Garrett

What's up guys? Just wanted to send a reminder on the nutrition clinics we're having the next two nights (7 p.m. both Wednesday and Thursday night in the back of the main Road Runner Sports store) and give you some more info. The clinics are focused on products (gels, sports drink mixes, bars, etc.) to be used before, during and after running. If you're running Rock N Roll, it would be a great time to make sure you have your nutrition plan squared away before the race. Even if you're not running the marathon, it's a great opportunity to get acquainted with the different products. We'll have a variety of nutrition and gear available for you to try and we'll also be offering a clinic night only discount (VIP members will also get their normal 10% off). If you have any questions, feel free to email me back. gsheehan@roadrunnersports.com  -Garrett
