notes from the 01.17.08 meeting

Thank you all for attending our first online meeting. We will continue to have them as it gets closer and closer to the relay race.

Major points from the meeting:
1. We have confirmed 12 runners and 5 guests (list on the right)
2. I have booked hotels in Flatonia at the Olle Hotel for Friday night (9 rooms, 2 per room) and Columbus at the Holiday Inn Express for Saturday night (2 rooms, 4 per room, we may need another, will talk about this below)
3. Leg discussion: we have not had a chance to assign legs to people yet, but once we do, I will have the file shared for all to view/comment/change. If you have preferences, please let me know this week.
4. Leaving Friday, the 29th: seems like all but a few will be ok with leaving at 2 pm on Friday. I know there will be a few people meeting us in Flatonia and that will be fine. The more people caravaning the better.
5. Team Name: It has been decided to have the name be Team One. I did a quick search to see how much it would cost to have custom printing on running shirts, very expensive. What about having custom printed bandannas? Much cheaper. Let me know ASAP. I will try to get a logo posted soon.

Ok, so for the hotel in Columbus, we figured that we'll be running in waves, so it would not be necessary to have rooms enough for 17 people. However, if we err on the safe side and have one more room, just in case, would that be ok for everyone? Currently, expenses for hotel rooms, for both nights, are $70 per person. If we get another room, we would tack on another $6 per person. Please let me know ASAP!

Last but not least, I still need contact info for (phone and email): Homer, Kat, Kirsten, Parker, Xiaoman

Thank you all!

Feel free to call anytime.

As far as the metting is concerned I am generally whatever about most everything.

Right now I am still on recovery from the Houston Marathon. But I think by March I should be fine. I have tried some light running this past week with no success. My Legs are still to out of it. So I am going to take the rest of this week off and hope to start some light running again next week. As I have said though I feel confident that I should be able to run in March no problem.
