Old School B12- Sat Nov 14th
Hello B12'ers!
On Wednesday I did a solo lunch run following the same Washington to Scottsdale route most of you did on Tuesday. It was later in the day after what I thought was a bad phone interview, it was hotter than it looked outside, I had some equipment issues (new arm band for the iPod), and I was just feeling generally frustrated and unmotivated. To top it all off I had just made it to the turnaround point and was now staring at what seemed like the biggest hill ever. Suddenly, like a message from the running gods, the low unmistakable intro beat to Eye of the Tiger starting playing on my iPod. In that moment I dug in, focused, and ran as steady as I could up the hill and for the entire 4:08 minutes that is Eye of the Tiger. When the song ended I thought to myself...I need to fill my iPod with songs that motivate me like that one does!
Do you have a song that keeps you going when you want to quit? If so share with the tribe by making a comment on this post. Let us know what song or songs drive you!
This week we are taking it back to the old school also known as meeting at B12 in Tempe. I have created some variations of one route to accommodate a few different distances depending on each individual's goals. They are very similar to each other so we will never be too far away from our fellow members. I pasted pictures and links of each route below. I will bring printed copies of the routes on Sat so that we can review them as a tribe but if you can I would also suggest looking the maps over before coming out on Sat. If you click on the map it will open up bigger to give you a better view. These routes range from 7-9 miles.
Who: B12 Tribe members and anyone else interested in a good time and a good run
What: Long Sat morning run
When: Sat Nov 14th 7:00am start running by 7:15am
Where: B12 1500 N. Priest Dr. Tempe AZ
Why?: Because we love to run!
How?: Through our collective strength and motivation...oh and our legs!

B12 Running TRIbe BEATS the Phoenix 10K!!
Congratulations to all the B12'ers who finished the Phoenix 10K this week end!! It was a beautiful day to run with 7,000 or our closest friends. There was entertainment along the way including local bands, running Elvis, a stripper advertising her pole dancing lessons out of the back of a pick up truck, and a lovely rendition of Humpty Dumpty. You can check out times at www.ceptiming.com and pictures at www.zazoosh.com (although they were not up as of this afternoon).As usual I walked away from another Saturday feeling more inspired to run faster, harder, and longer! You guys are a constant inspiration and motivation.
So who thinks we should take things back to the old school and do a Tempe B12 run this weekend? I can map out a pretty good 8-9 miler.
