Hi Runners,
Welcome to those who have just joined GetRunning and of course to those that have returned back to the group. We start our new training block this weekend and with over 40 runners joining us, in fact almost up to 50! Its sure to be a great training block. For those that are new to us, this is the weekly memo explaining whats coming up and going on in GetRunning, keeping you informed, in fact a lot of runners have said " The GetRunning Memo is by far the most most amazing running newsletter I have ever received!"
This weekend with the start of block 2, we have a lot of runners joining us that are working towards different marathons. Whether it be Hawaii, New York or Auckland Marathon, this is the start of training up to your goal. The 12 week program aims to get you up to a solid half marathon point, putting you in a position if you wish to take on the full marathon. This is the business end of the year and the main season for running.. Look forward to the exciting times ahead and make sure you stay committed to your goal. The GetRunning training block is compulsory as a way to help you along, but remember its up to you to commit 100%. In order to achieve something as great as a marathon, as anyone will tell you, they don't come easy but the reward is great! See you all this Saturday.
In other news
We are working like mad men on a gold mine to get the Hawaii Marathon brochure out to those interested, I know a lot of you are waiting patiently. We hope to have this by early next week, then you will be able to start planning an amazing trip to Hawaii in the sun, beach and sipping cocktails alongside Jay Jay and Dom (oh and a marathon thrown in there for good measure!)
See you all soon

- Rotorua Half and Full Marathon
Congratulations to all of those that took part in the Rotorua full and half Marathon in the weekend, I had live reports coming back to me. Some good times and as per usual Rotorua did not disappoint in the hard race category... Though lets be honest, who has come across a easy marathon!
There were some well deserved celebration drinks that evening at an Irish Pub and no doubt Bob's arms were rising to the ceiling by night fall!
