Quick Coffee and Chat Friday

Friday, May 29, 2015 · Mike Davis

Good morning! FRIDAY!! Short week but am sure happy that the weekend is nearly here. Today the temps take a dive into the mid-70s and tomorrow looks to be a perfect day in the 80s. So there your forecast! Last night about 15 minutes before our group run time at Runners Alley I got a weather warning for severe thunder storms in Portsmouth. So I did what any responsible running coach would do and canceled the run. Of course it turned out to be a perfect night to run! There are times when I would like to go contrary to the protocol but as I mature in the profession error on the side of logic. Safety is not something I will sacrifice ever. Everyone can run another day. Speaking of the Runner’s Alley training groups, barring any change of mind on my part this 10K beginner group will be my last Runner’s Alley training group as a coach. My time working with Runner’s Alley has been wonderful and has propelled me into the coaching world but the time is right for me to focus on No Finish Line Running. My intentions were to coach the Runner’s Alley advance 10K, however because they have a couple of great people to lead the group I felt the timing was right to step aside. I will most definitely assist as needed and continue to partner with Runner’s Alley but no longer will I be coaching there regularly. Sad for me most definitely as I have enjoyed so many great groups and made many great friends as well. Beginning next week we are taking Wednesday morning Pilates off the schedule. I absolutely love having a morning Pilates class for my own selfish reasons but the numbers haven’t been there overall so it only makes sense. We may very well bring it back in the fall but not sure at this point. We are moving the Thursday night Pilates from the NFLR Center to Henry Law Park in downtown Dover. That is really exciting and hopefully will attract those that don’t want to be inside during this time of the year. So come on down to Henry Law Park next Thursday night at 5:30 and join us something that has far reaching benefits. Contact me if you have any questions. Time to get off to work. Hope you have a great Friday and an even better weekend! God Bless! Mike
