Title Nine 2010 Challenge
50km – that’s how far some of us will run, walk, hike and maybe even skip a bit on September 18th as we rise to the 2010 Title Nine Company Challenge. At least once a year T9 rallies behind an epic physical challenge encouraging all staff to participate by providing top notch physical training, motivation and financial support for race fees. Past Challenges have included a 24 hour relay run, the New York City Marathon, Barb’s Race & Big Kahuna ½ Iron Man Triathlons, the Marin Century Ride and a 90 day fitness challenge with Crossfit Oakland. This year we’re training for an ultramarathon trail run through the beautiful California redwoods!
Not all of us will run the full 50k, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be rising to the Challenge! Some of us are running the 10km, 20km and 30km legs of the race and there may even be a group of non-runners hiking part of the trail. It’s all about getting off the sidelines and into the game no matter how far or fast it takes you.
If you love a good challenge as much as we do, join us out on the trail – we’d love to see you! If you can’t make the trail run then be sure to join us at our 1st annual San Francisco Bay T9K on November 7th. Cindy Olivarri, our coach for the ultra, has developed a T9K training schedule to get you up and running lickety-split. The first training run in the schedule is on September 1st so get ready, get set and MOVE IT!
Emily and Alice’s Favorite Finds
Emily
1. Cabbie Hat: My fix for bad hair days (and sometimes even good hair days!).
2. Dress-For-Success Dress: My favorite dress this season. Super cute with tights and boots. I love that it’s double layered for added warmth.
3. Svelte Cardigan: A dressy cardigan in a washable fabric. That means no more trips to the dry cleaners!
4. Made for Walkin’ Boots: My go-to boots for the season. Comfortable and cute! I could walk all day in them and never get sore feet.
5. Imagination Scarf: Soft and stripey. The perfect scarf for Fall and a great alternative to the scratchy wool scarf.
Alice
6. Feature Capri: Fits great and has a zip pocket and mesh behind the knee for venting.
7. Paradigm Zip Neck – The perfect weight (and really soft) run top for fall through spring.
8. PhD Lite-Runner Socks – If you haven’t yet discovered wool socks, you’re missing out. Trust me on this one.
9. XT Wings Runner – My go to shoe for every single trail run and hike. Stable but cushioned. Flexible and fast.

Holy Fit! – We Love Fitness Friday
Holy Fit!
Watch out! Nothing stands between the T9 crew and Fitness Fridays. Check out our photos and see some earthshaking evidence of what happens when we lock up the office for a half day. To kick off summer right there was rowing (crew), sailing, mountain biking and Zumba (dance). Hopefully you’ll find the photos as funny as we do!
And you? What are your summertime shenanigans that just can’t be denied?
