Holiday Lights Fun Run
Hey folks with the holidays in full swing, we thought we would organize a fun evening run to see the lights around East Sacramento. Here is the info …
What: 9RUN6 Holiday Lights Fun Run
When: Thursday December 17th @ 6:25PM
Where: Run starts and ends in front of the McKinley Park Library located at 601 Alhambra Blvd, Sacramento, CA.
Who: Everyone! If you’re new bring a shirt to “tag” so we can make you an official 9RUN6 Member.
Bring proper night time running gear … headlamps and reflective clothing or layers. Meet at 6:25PM in front of the McKinley Park Library at 601 Alhambra Blvd. Our run hydration will be provided by Nuun Hydration.
From the Sacramento Bee’s “Where to find Where to find Sacramento’s best holiday light displays”
Fab 40s, Sacramento (95819): From 40th to 49th between H Street and Folsom Boulevard, a majority of the majestic homes of this East Sacramento neighborhood are ablaze with lights. Residents of some streets (such as 42nd-45th) coordinate with lights strung across the street or shrubberies with similar motifs. White lighting seems to predominate, but plenty of color is still to be found. Traffic gets heavy with private cars, minivans, horse-drawn wagons and, this year, multi-person party bikes. Many revelers park to walk the neighborhood.

Give the Gift of Fitness

Print out this gift certificate and present it to your friends to show up …
I challenge our current regulars to give 10 of these out to their co-workers, friends and family members during the holiday season.
We Run Get Over It
We meet up every Wednesday and Friday with groups starting at 5:30, 6:00 and 6:25 … some people stay for all three others come for some or even add on beyond after people have already given their high-fives and made their ways to start their work day.
Today was no different. The first group met at 5:30AM at the corner of 10th & N Street, logging in some miles along the Waterfront then down R Street, taking a look at the fliers scattering the ground left over from last night’s Snoop Dogg show.
After 30 minutes the group then returned back to the 10th & N Street corner to pick up the 6AM runners. This group made it out to check out the rail yards then off to check out the Golden 1 Arena. With about 2 miles in the bank for this group it was time to head back to the West Steps for the 6:25AM workout.
Today’s workout on the West Steps was the good old 100 workout (100 push-ups, 100 leg lefts and 100 squats) followed with 10 laps around the Christmas tree lawn area.
The next few weeks we will be awarding some awesome Nuun Hydration goodies to individual members, as well as providing everyone with some daily dose of hydration samples until we run out.
Even with FREE workouts, we still find ways to get a pay day through compliments of how much people enjoy the group … here is one from our newest member …
The “Run”209 Squad
This one is a very special shout out to two individuals who say they have a “Running” / “Fitness” Group in the 209 … We would never actually provide a proper shout out to anyone that attempts to bring a community of people who are trying to better themselves … however these two people are making a mockery of what 9RUN6 is all about … in short they are HATERS … send them a couple of tweets but DO NOT follow them…
To prove us at 9RUN6 WRONG … we challenge you guys to invite us to a proper workout out there … we will show up in Lodi and participate …
Motivation for my @run209 peeps. Can’t wait to maybe wkot in Lodi tonight @gabebolton @michig811 #WeveComeSoFar pic.twitter.com/RJIwmXSPjT

Remember this Holiday Season…
This morning was rad. At 5:30a we were rolling 6 deep as opposed to 3 or 4 deep and by the time 6a rolled around we were really deep. Listen, all we want to do is spread fun free fitness to all throughout this holiday season.
This was the first workout after 6 of us were involved ithe CIM, 3 of us completing the full marathon. We threw down almost 6 miles and doubled up on the reps with our cassic #PinPong routine. #Yup
Like always we enjoyed ourselves this morning and look forward to hopefully some new faces on Friday. Remember to spread the joy of fun free fitness to all the m’fers out there. We’re at the Capitol every Wed and Friday. #9Run6

This year the Salvation Army can use the support of the running community and the community at large in these tough economic times. Our goal is to fill a Salvation Army truck with your donations.

9RUN6 End of Year Nominations
It’s time to nominate for our second annual awards …
The workout before CIM
With the California International Marathon coming this Sunday, a number of our members are partaking in the relay or full marathon so today was somewhat awesome … actually everyday is awesome.
The 5:30AM group took off on a short run which ran the last 1.5 miles of the course before finishing at the Capital to pick up the 6:00AM group. That group did the normal run out to the Tower Bridge.
At 6:25AM it was all about paper, rock, scissors for the workout … If you won in the heads up competition you did 10 push ups, sit ups and squats … if you lost then you had to do 15 … lose twice in a row it added 5 reps to each … lose 3 times in a row then it went to 20 … you get the picture.
Good luck to everyone partaking in the marathon weekend and thank you to everyone that will be part of the weekend as a volunteer or cheering along the course.
Don’t forget tomorrow we crash the CIM Health and Fitness Expo at 12:00PM for the Tweet Up… here is the info …
Holding it in… Business as usual
The title of this one doesn’t make any sense, but what was originally going to be the subject matter for this post has been pushed until tomorrow. That’s because we welcomed a new member to the crew yesterday; Courtney, fresh from Las Vegas.
Other than Courtney, it was Business as Usual Wednesday. The deck of cards made an appearance, each of us drawing a card 10 times to complete the set of reps per the face value of the cards. Brad, as usual, drew the best hand and pull 3 cards for the bonus round.
Oh, and we got a preview of the Christmas Tree lighting at the West Steps!
