The Zone Runs Thread - 2013

Everyone was off the next day.

Some people still have to work on the Fourth...

Some people still have to work on the Fourth...

Not near as many people who have to work on Labor Day. Fourth of July is a much bigger deal.

 

[Thrasher865]

Do you get drunk on holidays?

I don't understand this question... Is it a trick question?

Of course I get drunk on holidays.

 

[Aavoxx]

My family never did that. It's a new thing for me that I was introduced to in the past few years.

I dunno. They are both federal holidays. I feel like most people in danger of having to work Labor Day are also in danger of having to work Independence Day.

 

[Aavoxx]

Gonzo, do you have to work Labor Day?

 

[VolFan32]

I love Federal Holidays.

 

[Aavoxx]

I did in the past.

 

[Thrasher865]

Every day is a holiday for Voxx.

 

[Aavoxx]

Every day is a holiday for Voxx.

Par-tay.

 

[Aavoxx]

If we do the one miler, we need to do it as a team.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

****. I work for a half an hour and this thread has taken off.

No, I normally don't work on Labor Day.

However, $20 to run a mile. Meh.

 

[Aavoxx]

I was thinking the same. I say we do that race as a team. Cheaper.

I'd like to bust myself for a mile and have it chipped timed.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

8:30 in the morning to run a mile seems a little wasteful. I say we just have the first annual Zone 5k around 10ish.

Your financial logic made more sense.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Your financial logic made more sense.

10:00 5k where we charge people $10 to run the greenway. BOOM!

 

[Aavoxx]

Hahaha. That would be great.

To kick off football season!

Freak! We need sponsorship!

 

[Unknown Muppet]

How much can it be to get the city to let us use one of the greenways?

 

[UTGnome]

$25 if they want a t-shirt!

$5 shirts. Spray paint something on them.

$10 and we'll pay a graffiti artist to pain them for us.

Unfortunately, Hal passed away in 2009. Upon his death, the KTC Board of Directors created the Harold W. Canfield Memorial Scholarship Fund with the help and generosity of his daughters, Barbara Karpay and June Fillingim. The fund now qualifies as an endowment, thanks to the efforts of the East Tennessee Foundation. Earnings from this endowment will be used to fund and support an academic scholarship annually, starting this fall. With Hal’s Mile now on the event calendar, all proceeds of the event will be contributed to this endowment to help pay for future scholarships.

We chose Cherokee Boulevard to stage this race primarily because of the history that Hal had with the area. In the early days, many of the KTC’s long distance running races were run on a five mile loop course on Cherokee Boulevard. This year-round program of road races was the only one of its kind between Washington, D.C and New Orleans and preceded other road race activities in the southeastern United States. Founders and organizers of such clubs as Atlanta, Chattanooga, Huntsville, Birmingham and Nashville received their initiation into the sport from participation in Knoxville Track Club competitions. We feel that Hal will be smiling down on us as we stage this grand event in his honor on Cherokee Boulevard.

That's pretty cool.

 

[Aavoxx]

That's pretty cool.

Yup.

Nike should not make the cheapest drifit shirt.
