We told the new Biggest Winner CHKMarathon team that the weekend of Thanksgiving there was not going to be a Health Shoppe KTC training event. But.... these guys wouldn't take no for an answer! Lee Ann Bowman (live at five at four producer) piped up after the first training run and said "who wants to meet back here Thanksgiving weekend on SAturday ?" And all who were in town showed up! Even family showed up with Darla Dunn bringing her pretty big pooch Zombie, I brought my sis Tina along and Jackson Carr came with his dad Randy. Our manager Tonya Stoutt Brown also met us for our 3.5 mile walk/jog. Sharon Spezia (member of 2009 team) also came out and hung back with us for a mile or so before taking off for her run. As their coach I'm trying to hold my gang back and not let many jog too much too soon. Walking is just fine and dandy for the majority of us who either A. have bad joints, or B. are overweight and prone to injury.
After our workout we chatted up at Barnes and Noble and a few went next door to get their fitting done for New Balance shoes. Next week we'll be back with the KTC Gang and this week it is at the Runners Market west @ new location in farragut on Kingston Pike next to Blue Ridge Mountain Sports or go to www.knoxvillemarathon.com to see training run schedule
