Just wanted you all to know!! .... especially Nanou!

Dear All,

Yes, we run even if it rains “cats & dog”…

Victor Roethlin, (the Swiss marathon champion) can unfortunately not meet up with us (blame it on  me, I send the request too late) as he is off to his training camp for three months in Kenia in Jan. 2009  and he has some other commitments before that. But we are working on a suitable date towards the end of autumn 2009.

I am delighted to inform you; insider info J MOGOLIA – news:

The  online registration will be open from Nov 1, 2008 and you may register online.

 Join the 11th event July 18 to 25, 2009, for a most beautiful and breathtaking experience!

Mongolia Sunrise to Sunset in July is an annual event that allows runners to experience some of the most spectacular and pristine trail running in the world. Whether you come to challenge the Mongolian champions over the 100 km distance, or to challenge yourself on your first 42 km marathon, Mongolia Sunrise to Sunset offers you a week of discovery and exploration. www.ultramongolia.org

Friends, so will have our first “Mongolia travel meeting” in Jan. 2009

Wishing you all a super cool, happy weekend – see you for running tomorrow morning.

“the happiest girl in town”

Nice to see that someone is available for a run near Nyon. In fact, I live in Nyon and cannot join the group's training in Geneva so I would be very happy to run with you in Nyon!!

Just drop me a line if you are interested ( I am not available on Saturday mornings and on Wednesdays afternoon but could do it the rest of the working days as from 18:30 -19:00)

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

Rosa

Dear Undine,

Welcome to GVA. Would be just cool to meet to you too 

Our meeting point is for all our runs; in front of Bain des Paquis

(Quai du Mont Blanc / Quai Wilson)

Saturday’s : 10am (we tend to go for longer runs, 10 to 15km ?)

Mon & Wed : 7pm (5 to 10km ?)

After the runs we tend to go for a drink, sometimes for a fondue on Wed. eve at Bain des Paquis, this Saturday we plan to have breakfast / or just a tea or coffee again at Bain des Paquis.

…we are not only runners, we socialize too…

Looking forward to meeting YOU – any other runners are more than welcome to join us too, no need to sign up.

As to Mongolia, this will be such a great event.

“If you can dream it – you can do it!”

Dear All,

Wow, the Geneva Marathon training group is growing, which is wonderful news. More and more people are coming out, great turn out on Monday & Wednesday  evenings, even on Saturday morning. I have now almost 60 people on my e-mail list. This is just amazing, and we runners have become GREAT friends too.

Guys you rock, thanks sooo much!

By now the “non runners” know where to find us, Bain des Paquis after 8pm or even “the Grand Duke Pub”, on Saturday morning it’s Bain des Paquis for breakfast or tee/ coffee after 11h30.

Ok, I have to admit it, I sort of suffer from the “after Marathon blues”  (too much partying and so on )  – well, I’m on my way to get “my act” together again.

Some of us run the Escalade on Dec 6^th, … then our second GVA marathon is on our list (May 10^th, 2009) and soon afterwards it’s Mongolia.

Have a great day and see you Saturday morning, as usual 10am in front of Bain des Paquis.

I was supposed to be going to Thailand on Friday for work, but that's been cancelled (for the obvious reasons)

So.......I am now going to be around this weekend, and would like to get involved in the Escalade. It's too late to sign up I think, but can someone give me a quick précis of what's happening on Saturday and when? Is anyone going to watch/hang out/shout encouragement and drink vin chaud?
