Greetings Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10 Registrants (aka awesome people who know to sign up early for the best race ever so they won’t have to call the race director at the last minute begging to get into a sold out race)
For those of you signed up THANK YOU!, and get ready for the best Xtreme 10 Race yet….there is a new Co-Race Director in town, Meghan Kennihan and she is ready to make this race as esteemed as the Boston Marathon! Well, maybe not the Boston Marathon but we are trying our best to be the best we can be!
Anyway…let me help the procrastinators along and get rid of all the excuses you have for not signing up…
TOP 10 UNACCEPTABLE EXCUSES
- You are too SLOW for an XTREME race: You’re not slow. You just want to enjoy the incredible beauty of the course.
- You have scheduled your liposuction appointment for that weekend: Running is the poor person’s plastic surgery, time to start training. YOU BIG FAT SLOB
- My legs are going to hurt!: If they don’t hurt, your not trying hard enough. And your legs will forgive you….eventually….maybe.
- All that Cardio Makes it Hard to Breathe: So does the extra 20lbs you’re likely to put on this summer if you don’t start training NOW for the Xtreme 10.
- The race is on a Saturday…I’m volunteering in my community: PERFECT! All proceeds go to Community Nurse so you get to run an amazing race and help your community
- I’ll be hungover on Sunday: A Bottle of Wine at dinner (400 calories) + the 5 Beers at the club (600 calories) and the shots at 2am (200calories) = 1600 calories…..that Xtreme 10 is looking like a necessity now….
- My sister is getting married that weekend: Are they handing out amazing tech t-shirts, having awesome Sam’s Club vendors suppling the food and passing out awards at the reception? That’s what I thought.
- I HATE RUNNING: A) how did you get on this email list? B) This isn’t running it’s RACING!
- Who’s going to take care of my kids: Hopefully you thought of that before you had them but we thought of everything…a playground, a free mile and quarter mile race for the kids!
- July? It’s going to be too hot: HA! Little did you know the true power of your amazing Race Directors Johnny & Meghan… we control the weather… get ready for blue skies, 60 degrees, and a gentle tail wind (all the way around the course) on race day.
ANYMORE EXCUSES? We did not think so! Hope to see you all on race day in good shape and good cheer. Train Hard, Train Smart!
