Jeff's Note
Hello ,
Another new year. Another new season.
The start of MIT always leaves me eager to see new faces, familiar faces, timid runners, eager runners, and everything in between. The winter season is especially fun for me, as the New Year often incentivizes more folks to try out this crazy marathoning thing. The transformations that follow are nothing short of amazing.
As we look forward to 2017 and another season of marathon training hold on to your seat. It will be a wild ride. Be sure that there will be ups, and there will be downs. Those who keep their head up on the downs, and stay the course on the ups will be the ones who conquer their goals.
Enjoy the journey. It will be life changing. Log the miles. Meet new friends. Find out something new about yourself. It’s never too late.
"People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out."
-Warren Bennis
So the question for the New Year is, will you choose to stand out?
See you Saturday!

Educational Topic of the Week- Kicking off your goals on the right foot
I want to stay on track with my goals. Where should I start?
At the most basic level, your shoes. Having the right equipment, starting with your shoes, is key to staying on track. Learn what a shoe fit looks like, and why it's important to get FIT for the right shoe.
How do I know what an appropriate goal is for me?
We've talked about Saturday morning pace, but how do you decide what to set as your goal pace? Check out this article on the differences and how to use heart rate to help determine an appropriate race goal pace.
Got it. Start with shoes, set a pacing goal. What else do I need to have a successful start to MIT?
Jeff lays out everything that you need to get the best start to your MIT season in this article - from shoes and sock, to the right GPS gear and more.
