Hi Everyone on team 4!

Craig is my name, and I run Down Under, so my posting times may be a little out of sync with the rest of the teams, but being in a GMT+10hrs timezone means I'll be posting my miles fairly early after the Post-Em thread is started each week.

I'm looking forward to running with you and getting to know you all as the year goes by. This will be my 4th year in this competition, and I've 'met' some really great people because of it.

Run well Team 4!

I messaged camille2, maybe she will see it tomorrow.

Thanks, Mitch!

 

Oh boy....referring back to your RW post, when you BQ, you will have a ways to travel for that race!  Not that you are the only one, but that is a hike! 

A trip to the USA has always been on the cards for us. My DW watches a number of American families on you tube  videos and fell in love with the scenery etc there. I've come to know so many runners in the States that I'd love to have a FE with some of them (Particularly the members of one of my former teams Tramps Like Us who took out the competition a few years back and regularly meet up for the NC 24 hour race in Cleveland.)

Similarly, a lot of former team mates have said they'd love to visit here, and we're in a prime tourist location. I'd love to take some of them for a run on my local routes.

One day......

Craig where in Australia do you live? And even though I don't "know" you yet, if you find yourself in NYC I would be more than happy to A) take you for a run on some awesome routes even though you'd have to slow down for me, and/or B) show you around not running

If I were to have "met" you back in '06, I would have taken this offer. I drove up to Boston and Hartford from NC, directions had me going straight through NYC on I-95. This ole redneck country boy made a big detour and went around your great city. Now I feel like a wuss for not going through there.

Team 4 is still on the hunt for our last teammate: lewjeffrey!!

Come out, come out wherever you are, lewjeffrey! 

Sorry for the delay with checking in.  My name is Jeff, but I go by Lew.  I am on vacation this week and not online a ton.  I am hoping to join the facebook group soon and looking forward to the motivation that this group will provide for me to finally get a solid 12 months of running in.  This is my first time in the competition and I'll do my hardest to meet my goals.  I typically fizzle out after the fall marathon I do every two years (this year Marine Corp Marathon is on tap for me).  January and February are typically slower running months for me as I don't like cold weather and usually start to find motivation in the new year once it gets warmer and my spring half marathon gets closer.

Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season!

Team 4:  Be sure to visit our Facebook group page and vote on a team name!  I would like to get that submitted to the officials ASAP!

Yay 4titude!
