East Nasty

Lots of fun stuff this week, please read!

Congratulations KIPP Track Team

KIPP Track 2013

Here is an update on the KIPP Track Team from their Coach William Quin:

KIPP Boys finished 6^th in the Middle School Metro League out of approximately 36 teams. We had one young man win the City Championship in the 400 meters with a time of 56.10, and we had another young man finish second in the hurdles with a time of 16.34. Finally, we had a young man finish third in the shot put in the city with a throw of 44’8.5”. Finally, our 4×400 meter relay team finished 4^th at the City Championship.

Lots of victories, lots of improvement, and lots of fun.  Thank you for all of the donations!

Volunteer

We need folks to sign up to be cup washers.  Free community organizations like East Nasty cannot rely on the same 10-20 people week in week out.  Please don’t just enjoy the fun without sharing in the work!   Details about volunteering are here, and here is the google document which has all the cup volunteers.  Fill in one of the open spots!

Potato to Tomato

Do you know someone who wants to get in shape/lose weight/adopt a healthier life style?  We can help.  Our FREE couch to 5k program starts on June 15th and ends with the Tomato Festival 5k.    I may be biased, but this is the best, most successful training program for beginners in Nashville!   Our informational meeting is on Saturday June 8th at 11 a.m. at the Margaret Maddox YMCA.  To help us plan, we need participants to sign up.  Click here for more details.

Wednesday’s Run

Run #9: LP field.

Easy stuff, we run around the Titans Stadium and come back.  Wednesday 6 p.m. at the corner of 11th and Holly in East Nashville.

Want a Free Predator’s Ticket? Beat Willy.

Tomorrow, Willy Daunic is going to be at the run to promote the Marshall Molar 5k on June 1st.  He is an East Nashvillian, and co-host of Sports Night on 102.5 the Game.  Read details below.

Marshall Molar 5K Registration

Run #8: Rick’s Market, Coldest Beer in Town

Wednesday night, 6 p.m. at the corner of 11th and Holly in East Nashville.

Potato to Tomato

Our couch to 5k program is coming in about a month.  Information, including registration, is available here.  (Note: our program is free, but you still need to sign up for the actual race.)

1) We still need a couple more coaches.  If you are interested, send Mark an email (mark@eastnastyforlife.com)

2) Any one else interested in helping in a non-coaching role?   This program is a great way to get involved in the community, and if you would like to be a part in any way let me know.

3) Sponsor.  Everything we do is free, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t costs us anything, and one thing we have wanted to do for years is give away East Nasty shirts to the participants.  (Right now we charge them $10, if they want a shirt.)   Is there someone who would like to partner with us to help offset some of those costs?  Let me know!

4) Get someone to join…  Send a friend the link with information.  Then join us at our information session at the Margaret Maddux YMCA on June 8th at 11:00 a.m.

Run #7

Little Hollywood.  Wednesday night, 6 p.m. at the corner of 11th and Holly.  The route takes us down Eastland Ave, and there is a short section where the sidewalk disappears.  Remember to run single file on this section.

Bring $3…

This is “I Dream of Weenie” week.  Read more about this business here, but what you need to know is that they are staying open late this Wednesday, and everything on the menu will be $3.   It looks like it will be a beautiful night to hang outside after the run.  Here are details:

Wednesday night Weenie Night!  I Dream of Weenie has offered to extend its hours on Wednesday nights for runners needing to carb-up prior to heading to 3 Crow Bar.  Starting next Wednesday, May 8, I Dream of Weenie is offering a special East Nasty price of $3/per menu item (or $2.50 for the basic hot dog), so stop by after your run!.  Because I Dream of Weenie is on private property, BYOB is permissible, just be conscientious of open container laws & don’t wander off the I Dream of Weenie lawn.  A cooler will be provided.  I Dream of Weenie accepts cash & credit cards.

Potato to Tomato

Every year we offer a free couch to 5k program that we call Potato to Tomato.   Details will be posted soon, but let me give you a brief preview and an opportunity to get involved.

Our training will go from Saturday, June 15 till the Tomato Fest 5k on Saturday, August 10.   We meet three times a week: Monday and Wednesday at 6 p.m and Saturday morning at 7 a.m.

(1) Would you like to coach?  Last year we had over 200 participants, that we split into about 10 groups.  We have 2 or 3 coaches per group.  We’ll need about 30 coaches to make this go smoothly.   Interested?  I can send you more details, email mark@eastnastyforlife.com.

(2) Sign up or tell a friend!  This program is doable and sustainable.  Do not think “The Biggest Loser”.  This program is designed to be gradual because the goal is for exercise to become a daily part of each participant’s life.  Registration will be available next week.
