Sunday, December 31, 2023 - Important Updates! This is the final newsletter to be posted on this website.

Hi Runners Happy New Year! January 1 on a Monday – No better way to kick of the new year! We WILL be meeting on New Year's Day at 5:00PM at the American Legion on Miller Avenue to kick off our training week. Before I get into the recap from last week’s training, there are some changes you need to be aware of…

•Shelby Roadrunners will no longer be on the Energy2Action website. This also means we are no longer part of the cumulative attendance race. 
•I will be keeping one attendance list for our 3 weekly training runs (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) and we will award the year-end attendance awards. 
•To be eligible for top 10, you must have attended a minimum of 30 training runs. 
•We will recognize those who attend 100 or more training runs in the Century Club.
•IF you are already on the attendance list, we will count your attendance at a Saturday Energy2Action race. (You might have to tell me you did the race, though!)
•Be warned: The Nice and Naughty List will continue! 
•2024 is 20 years of Shelby Roadrunners. We will celebrate this milestone with a new shirt. Ideas are welcome. 
•You can find information about Shelby Roadrunners on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/shelbyroadrunners) and on this web page: https://marshaapsley.com/shelbyroadrunners/ If you want something posted on the website or the Facebook page, please contact me about it. 
•If you cannot make our training runs, Energy2Action has the following opportunities for you to attend: Tuesday evening in Franklin, Wednesday evening at the Shelbyville YMCA, Saturday morning in Franklin. Check the Energy2Action website for details. 
•If you wish to no longer receive these emails, please let me know. 

I think that covers it. If you have any questions, please contact me. 

Now to recap last week’s training… 

We didn’t meet on Monday due to the Christmas holiday. I hope you had a Merry Christmas! Apparently, Mike thought it was still Christmas on Wednesday because he chose a family gathering over an attendance point. That means I gave away attendance points for Christmas gifts to anyone I could think of! One went to Lisa Strange who showed up for the first time in a long time. She’s been doing the local races but was finally able to make one of our runs to work in her schedule. It was a nice evening to get out for some fresh air. It was damp and cold on Saturday morning for the six who showed up for the last training run of 2023. Mike will be wrapping up attendance awards, and we’ll be announcing the top 10 next week. 

Training: Monday (yes, we will meet on New Year’s Day!) at American Legion on Miller Avenue at 5:00PM. Wednesday at public parking lot by the trophy shop on E. Washington Street at 5:00PM. Saturday by the parking garage entrance on W. Washington Street at 7:30AM.

Happy 51st Birthday to Tammy on Wednesday! 

Happy Running and Cheers to 2024!
