Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" - Lessons learned from the  Wizard of Oz • Nicola Taylor Photographer   Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” We are “Kids First,” and  we are accountable to no one! — DougCo Collective

As the Wizard of Oz saying goes, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".  Or in this case, pay no attention to our February post that says we are back.  We weren't.  But WE ARE NOW!  Collectively we have been in a running funk to say the least.  No reason to look back - only forward.   Check out the left hand column of this blog under running buddies.  You will find the group of us who are Grandma's marathon enthusiasts.  We love this race and this weekend. Check out each of our 2024 goals.   We have......

  • Jenn running the full
  • Carrie, Sara. and Libby running the half
  • Louis becoming the team cheerleader and running the 5K
  • Liz training but also focused on her high school daughter
  • Michelle - we haven't forgotten about you, heal up already!
  • And Wendy always in our hearts. 

We know this is not a well read blog - but for us, it is a thread to keep us talking each week.  It keeps us motivated.  It keeps it fun.  And more importantly, I hope it keeps us disciplined.  Training gets long.  Like everyone else in the running world, we have kids, jobs. spouses. college, and overall busy lives.   This training season - which we are officially starting today on November 1st - we are here to support each other to get to the start line and then to cross the finish line.  While the training plan won't start until 12 or 16 weeks out (depends on your plan) - we are starting now to engage with each other and to have some fun along the way.   Check us out from time to time, we are a fun bunch!
