Average "Ho" Triathlon

It's been a couple weeks since the Average Joe Triathlon but I had to get this picture of WHORS in wetsuits out on the blog! Gwen(a friend of Sheri's) placed 2nd in her division and Leslie was awesome as the virgin triathlete placing 3rd in her division! Sheri had an AWESOME bike ride and I enjoyed a tall cool one at Zorbas after the race.
I think all sports should require latex headgear, don't you?

A Call for Charities!

Ladies,
I have great news! Extreme Pita is offering Women High on Running, not Relay WHORs but ALL WHORs, an AWESOME opportunity to make a difference. As many of you know Extreme Pita (EP) is one of the top sponsors for this years Great River Relay Team. Troy, the owner, had read about us in the paper earlier this spring and fortunately, Leslie is one of his best customers, catering food for her events. When approached about a sponsorship, Troy didn't even bat an eye and said "YES" with great enthusiasm.

EP called back today with a FANTASTIC idea...and we'd like to take it one step futher! During the month of JULY, anyone (us, our family, friends, co-workers...ANYONE) who eats at EP should save their reciepts and turn them into YOU. (reciepts can then be turned into me). At the end of JULY, Troy will tally the receipts and the WHORs will recieve 10% of the total.

What WE would then like to do is take half of that money and donate it to a charity of our choice. We are such an influencial and positive group of women. I believe we, together, have made differences in many lives...not just our own. But this is our chance to contribute even more...to be something even bigger, even GREATER. this is our chance to MAKE A DENT, maybe to CHANGE someone's life. Please join me with enthusiasm in this effort!

So two things ladies:
1) start spreading the word!!!! I have an email set to go out tonight to 98 people (of which none of you are recipients...though I might make you one, so you can copy and paste my email if you like it). Encourage your co-workers to go out to a group lunch. EP Delivers too! i can honestly say it's one of my favorite "fast food" places to eat. spread the word, collect reciepts!
2) POST a charity you think is fitting for the WHORs. I'd think we'd want to focus on women or children....but anything is an option. So please post here. On MONDAY next week, I will put the charities to a vote and have one designated by Wednesday. (that way we can have a charity to tell people about!)

So....spread the word, save reciepts and POST a charity if you have one in mind!
