So we had our first “official” run as the Fusion Extreme Team aka Team Fusion this morning.  I have to admit, it was tough to get out of bed and I was hoping Coach Ashley was going to call in a snow day… no chance.  It was a brisk 45˙ this morning but that didn’t stop 20 of us from running.  We had runners of all levels turn out. From one girl training on her quest to complete an Ironman to the Pizza Fusion crew who were dusting their shoes off after some time off.

We are very excited to get the team going and welcome runners of all experience levels.  We will have waterstops set-up for people training up to 20 miles and as little as 3 miles.  Feel free to invite your friends and “better halves” to join us! This is YOUR team, so please give us your suggestions and ideas.  We will be hosting monthly team events and outings as well.

If you are considering training for the Seattle Rock-n-Roll Marathon, please see Ashley, Lora or Vaughan at the next team run. We are currently putting together a training schedule for that race.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle - Marathon & 1/2 Marathon - June 27, 2009.
The newest addition to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series takes place on Saturday, June 27, 2009 in scenic Seattle.   This will also be the first event that Team Fusion will be participating in as a team.

Seattle is the eighth city to join in the Rock-N-Roll Marathon series.  This race will be broadcast nationally, showing off how beautiful Seattle is during the summer months.  Luckily our summers are never too hot, providing the perfect running weather.

It will be taking the place of the Sea-fair Marathon.  Organizers hope to attract at least 15,000 runners, including elite-level international competitors aiming for the approximate $100,000 in total prize money.  The course is from Tukwila to Seattle, and scheduled to finish at Qwest Field.  After the race, all runners, walkers and event volunteers will be treated to a post-race concert at Marymoor Park.

This marathon is a Boston qualifier.  Featuring 70 live bands and 40 cheer teams! To find out more about the Seattle Rock-N-Roll Marathon, visit the website here.

We are excited to announce that in partnership with Pizza Fusion, we will be starting a local running team (Team Fusion) beginning, Saturday, January 31, 2009. The team will be training for the inaugural Seattle Rock n’ Roll marathon and half marathon, June 27, 2009. It is also open to anyone training for another event or just interested in continuing to run! We will be participating in several local running events over the next several months: (Shamrock 10 Miler, A1A Half Marathon, Gasparilla/Tampa, etc.). This club was formed out of a desire to help people achieve their goals from running their first 5k to training for an Ironman while giving back to the community, the planet and themselves. Some run for fun, some live to race, others are just in it for the health of it.

Our coaches Ashley & Lora, along with our training mentors, have helped hundreds cross the finish line and are committed to your safety and your goals.

Characters are definitely welcome ==

After you’ve toured the site, if you like what you see, come on out and run with us…

The team will meet each Saturday morning, January 31st - June 20, 2009, beginning at 7:00 AM on January 31st. We will meet at the Panera parking lot on Linton and Federal Hwy., but ask that you park in front of Carrabba’s (so we do not interfere with the TNT team near Panera). We will also offer weekday runs Monday and Wednesdays at 6:30 PM.
