Wow! GRR is right around the corner! Training can't completely prepare you for the experience- the intensity of the comraderie, the heat, the excitement of the race and all the other teams- I'm so excited for you all! Have Fun!
Since I can't be with you at GRR, I'm hoping we can participate together in some local races coming up this fall. Dick Beardsley's for one, I didn't think I would be able to run, but now I have decided that the shoe show can wait a few hours. I'm looking for a partner in the relay-anyone interested?
Another event coming up October 18 is the "Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes". This is more of a walk than a run, so it would be a great family event. There is no entry fee, and no set distance. You walk/run for 30 minutes, either inside or outside. There will be breakfast, door prizes, and Games Galore. I plan to nordic walk the event. I would like to invite you all to join me in supporting this worthy cause. To learn more, or to join the team, check out the team website at http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=5392&team_id=320172
Looking ahead to December, the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis is December 6 this year. The entry fee is $25, and they ask you to raise $100 to get the "official hat". I know we've run this in the past, but I thought it might be fun this year to actually form a W.H.O.R. team, dress up, and really be a presence at this fun race. What do you think? Is this an event that we want to support?

I'd be game for both. But right now, it's too far out to tell where I will be. If i am around, I'd love to do something as a group.
Don't forget the Wenzel Duathlon this Saturday night, 6pm at Trollwood. 2 mile run, 15 mile bike, 2 mile run. Really fun - can use whatever bike you have. Tom and I will be helping the Wenzels with traffic control, and they might need a few more volunteers.

I am waiting til after the relay before I sign up for Beardsley. Depends on how beat up I get. I may even decide to do the 5k.
