Welcome to the Holiday Season at TVRC!
We start the month of November with a change to our training run times. On November 7th, the end of daylight savings time, our runs will move to a 7am start. Enjoy the chance to sleep in a bit but it will be very dark out so personal lights are very important to keep running safely at this later start time.
Please consider purchasing books & pajamas for our drive to support the children in need in our area. Steve & Carol Wolf will collect your unwrapped gifts after runs through the end of November. We hope everyone gets a chance to share holiday blessings with those less fortunate through this convenient way to give to others on our scheduled run days. Further details about the program can be found on our Facebook page.
This month will be our last meeting of 2021! The meeting will be November 11 at 4:30pm at the Colony Cottage Recreation Center and will feature Kari Walker of The Villages Health Center speaking about the importance of rest for the athlete. It is sure to be a great presentation! The group will also vote on the slate of candidates for 2022 board positions. The full meeting agenda will be coming out soon. We do not have a scheduled meeting in December but will start again in January.
On Thursday, November 25, 2021 many TVRC runners are going to converge in Groveland, FL to run the AdventHealth Groveland Turkey Trot 5K & 10K. It’s a fun and healthy way to start the holiday best known for too much food! Don’t forget to register as a member of TVRC to enjoy a discount on the race fee. The link to register for the race is on the TVRC website.
Our Home Run during the Holiday season will be December 5, 2021 at Trish Chandler & John Campbell’s house. Details on the event will be posted on Facebook, but make sure to hold the date. Trish & John know how to have fun and their Home Run is sure to be a blast!
Our TVRC Holiday Party will be December 9th from 5-8pm at Lizann’s House. The meal will be provided for your enjoyment but bring your own choice of beverage. Spouses and significant others are welcome to attend the festivities! Further details about the party will be available on FB. Please respond to the FB invite to facilitate getting a count of attendees in order to purchase the food.
If you are looking for a good December run, many TVRC members are signed up to go to Mt. Dora on December 18th & 19th. The 5K run is December 18th at 7:45am and the Half-Marathon is December 19th at 7am. The link to register for the event is on the TVRC calendar.
And just a head’s up, we usually do a group run of some kind on January 1…Details to follow on Facebook.
