George Scholl - Day 7 (Part 2 - "The TEAM")

The team consist of Joe and Beckie (not married but been together forever), they are the leaders of the team. They coordinate were when and where we are supposed to be and they run first (usually 10 miles). They are exceptionally nice people who have run every marathon you can name. Ed runs second with Bill. Ed is from San Diego and is quiet and steady. Super nice guy and a great runner. Bill is from Long Island NY and is funny. He's always ready to go. He want to be moving all the time. Then we have the two young girls, Hanna and Amy from Palm Beach Atlantic College who are in great shape and just want to run and run. We have to hold them back. We cut their mileage on one run and they decided to continue the run in the parking lot. We had to tell them to stop. It was funny. Then there is Jim, my coach and my roommate. He's our fastest runner and our dad. He seems to keep us all in line and at the same time makes us laugh. Our support crew is Dr. Tara our Chiropractor / deep tissue massage therapist and Hanna, our support van driver (if we need anything, she's the person to go to ... we love Hanna). We have another support person, Rob, who's actually like a floater, he's in the van supporting us, in the RV updating the web site (we don't let him drive the RV), and at the hotel getting our rooms and most important paying for everything (most of the time). Oh, then there is this guy named George (that's me), he's runs cleanup. He's slow but steady. Keeps everyone laughing and never stops smiling. He drives the RV when Joe is running and everyone seems to love his stories. Well that's everyone, and I really hope you guys come to WPB on Saturday night and get a chance to meet everyone. They are wonderful people and I will miss them all.
