Hey Buckeye Striders,

Attached is the March/April Newsletter. I apologize for getting it out so late. I had a severe case of writer's and editor's block. I will work hard to get the next issues out more quickly.

You'll notice that the upcoming races listing is a spreadsheet. I hope Laura doesn't mind that I added the pages that way. The information is more complete and saves time.

Also, Joyce Prohaska had asked me to include the flyer about the Dave McGovern Clinic being held in the Cleveland area this August. I had intended to include it in the January issue, and forgot.

We will be walking at a new location this Saturday -- near the Dublin Rec Center. We hope to have directions to everyone soon. In the meantime, Deb Chenault indicated that the rec center is off of Emerald Parkway.

Finally, don't forget to send your race results to Barbara Gossman. Her email address is included in the newsletter.

Have a good week! I will see you Saturday at the Dublin Rec Center!

Cindi Leeman

Hey Everyone,

Here is the updated 2012 Race Schedule. I added races that Carol Musser is entering and updated the New Year's Day list. I'm not sure it is accurate, but several people who had planned to do the First on the First are now doing the River Run instead.

Let me know if you have updates and I will make them.

If anyone is looking for a December half marathon that is close, there is one December 3 in Ashland, OH. It is called the Tour de Ashland. Race day registration is accepted. Might be interesting. (I find the fact there are no port-a-johns on the course interesting to say the least.)

Hi Everyone,

Attached is the September-October issue of the Buckeye Striders Newsletter.

This issue is a little bit different from others. Vince Walsh volunteered to write an article about his recent trip to the Grand Canyon. The article is a little bit longer than what we usually run -- I hope you take the time to read it. There were several more photos, but I was not able to include more. I'll try to get some posted on the Buckeye Strider website. A trip like this is on my list of things to do! Vince has made me even more excited about trying it.

Thanks to Vince and Pat Roam for writing articles for this issue! Thank you to Barbara Gossman for gathering the race results and Laura Modisette for gathering the information about upcoming races. Please send your race results to her at barbaraan331@yahoo.com.

If you wish to contribute to a future issue, please send an email to me at bookeditor42@yahoo.com.

Columbus Half Intermediate Training Schedule.doc Download this file

Hey Everyone,

When preparing a training schedule for the Parkersburg Half Marathon, I decided to go ahead and get one together for the Columbus Half, too. Note that this is an Intermediate training schedule. I heard a rumor that Centennial High School will keep its track open this summer, so we might be able to plan some group speed days there.

Striders,

Barb is traveling and doesn't have access to her computer. Here is a correction for tomorrow's walk.

The Group Walk for Saturday, June 4, will be at Sharon Woods Park at 8:00 am -- if you want to walk farther start at 7:30 a.m.  Meet at the starting point for the bike path.  We will be going counter clockwise around the 3.8 mile loop.  If you come late, go clockwise to meet the group coming around.

Following the Group Walk we will have breakfast at Scrambler Marie's Restaurant, 6152 Cleveland Avenue, just south of I-270, on the east side.  

Sharon Woods is at 6911 Cleveland Avenue, opposite Saint Ann's Hospital.  Go to the first parking lot on the left after entering the park.   

Cindi

Hey Buckeye Striders:

Plan now to join us on a road trip to beautiful Chillicothe for our next Business meeting on Saturday, June 18!

We will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Adena Mansions and Gardens (847 Adena Rd. Chillicothe, Ohio 45601) for our Group Walk. Pat Roam will provide water.

At 10:00 a.m. we will head to I-Hop for breakfast (brunch?) and the Business meeting.

The trip from Columbus is 1 hour and 15 minutes. Nancy Palma suggested that we arrange two meeting areas to car pool for the drive down: one on the northwest side, the other on the east side.

Please RSVP via email to me by Wednesday, June 15 if you plan to go. If you live in Columbus and are interested in car pooling, let me know. Please indicate if you are able to drive. We will arrange meeting locations and drivers when we know how many are going.

This is a great opportunity to walk in a new part of Ohio and to see Pat's new home town! It should be a lot of fun!

Cindi Leeman

Proposed Schedule:
• 7:30 a.m. Meet at car pool location (to be determined)
• 7:35 a.m. Leave for Chillicothe
• 8:50 a.m. Arrive at Adena Mansions and Gardens
• 9:00 a.m. Begin Group walk
• 10:00 a.m. End walk, go to I-Hop
• 10:15 a.m. Begin Business meeting
• 11:15 a.m. (Approximate) Leave Chillicothe, head back to Columbus
• 12:30 p.m. Arrive at car pool locations
