My Blog

Hope everyone had a good holiday so far.

Thought I'd plug my blog real quick: www.rundure.blogspot.com
2009 will bring more dedicated posts by me...I'll try to be creative...

I'll have information about the race I'm directing at this site.
Targeting November 7, 2009 for the date of the 8 Hour Event....

Happy New Year!

Congrats to DRR


I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their success at Tecumseh. It wasn't easy out there. I think we all came home with a few bruises, but no broken bones. Lets all remember to keep Patrice in our thoughts and prayers. I hope everyone decides to come back next year. Especially Darci if she ever forgives Misty. It really was a great weekend with a lot of laughs. Looking forward to more good times with you all. Go DIRTY RED!!!
Fast Jen
P.S. If anyone is interested I am going to wheeler Tues night between 630 and 645 to run a slow 5 mile run. I might even consider it a jog. (I am really sore).

Dirty Red Runs Tecumseh



Congratulations to the DiRTY ReD racing team! We had a blast down at Tecumseh. The weather was brutal! With temps in the 20's and a wind chill of 10 degrees, it was not the easiest to deal with. The trails were snow covered and icy, with switchbacks and plenty of downhills to slip on, but Team DiRTY ReD managed to finish strong. Chris Beyers was the the top female runner for Dirty Red and Darci acquired herself a new nickname. I believe it was " Slip". I think she loved Tecumseh and is looking forward to next years race! Great job Darci! Maybe someday you will forgive me? lol.

Along the trail ( at mile 5) , we met Brett Hess, a freelance writer for Marathon & Beyond and also a writer for RunIndiana.com. He wrote a story about us on his website. Check it out! Thanks Brett for your company on the trails! It was a pleasure talking to you and we look forward to seeing you at the Huff Ultra Marathon!

Misty, Betty and Jen finished side by side just like always! The DiRTY ReD trio was the name we were given. Frank ran a great race out there with a 4:15. Jill, Darci and Cass came in together as well. Way to stick together out there! Brian and Jim you two rock as usual! A huge thank you goes out to Mark and Katie for giving us a ride back to the hotel. Can you believe that we fit 12 adults in a Jeep Cherokee? Desperation is an amazing thing!

I'm looking forward to many more miles together. I am proud to be a part of Team DiRTY ReD.

A DiRTY ReD Weekend


Just a reminder, we are leaving Friday at 1:00pm for Bloomington. Jill, Cass and Frank are all driving, so we should have plenty of room for everyone. Looks like the weather is highs in the upper 30's and lows in the lower 20's.

The shirts are in and Jill is working hard on getting them screen printed today. We are not promising that they will be ready, but we are going to give it our best effort! Knowing Jill, she will get it done! All she has to say is, " Don't you know who we are????????" and I am sure that it will get taken care of! Go Jill!
The hats didn't all come in so please bring something else.

I wish everyone the best of luck out there! Go out there and race it DiRTY ReD style!
