Last Call for Alcohol..........
.............I mean last call for your music requests for the relay. 10 smokin' hot cds are ready to rock n roll, hip, hop 'n beebop our way to the relay. HOWEVER, I will happily burn another cd (or two) if I get enough requests. I have about 20 songs on each cd so....post your requests here or email me or Tracy and if I get 10 or more songs we don't already have, we'll have another cd in our GRR '08 collection. Please let me know the song title and the artist. Thanks!
Workin' Our Corner
It was Hot Hot Hot at the 2.5 mile mark of the Dick Beardsley Run for Life 5 mile run on Wednesday nite! Way to go Whors! Runners couldn't help but smile as they approached our corner with music blaring, whors screaming and super soakers consuming their targets!Kim was the flashiest whor winning the best dressed prize. The whor offspring looked absolutely adorable in their pink bling as well. I seriously think we should have had a prize for Nicole's belly button! That rocks, girl! And a shout out to those whors who represented by beating the heat and running the race, Barb, Donna, Georgia and Marilyn! Way to go girls!
updates
first...very cool. I recieved an email last night from Erin Pilkington of Ragnar. Here's what she wrote:
Leah, Looking forward to seeing the WHORS in a few weeks. Its teams like you that make it possible for us to do what we love! We appreciate the WHORS and everything you do for Ragnar!
That was neato...and it's because of all of our teammates! We make this race fun for them. Those that have done this before have been told this same thing from other Ragnar staff :) Get ready to rumblllllllle!
Women High on Running now has a bank account. If you have sponsors waiting to write out a check, please make it payable to Women High on Running. When the account was opened, we were GIVEN $20 from State Bank. A quick survey of the captains determined that the $20 would be given to Hospice. Yay!
On that note. Remember that Extreme Pita EXTENDED our fundraising time frame to August 17th. Please continue to collect reciepts. If you need a new flyer for your offices, let me know...i'll send it via email with the new deadline.
Walmart gave us a $50 gift card yesterday. We'll use that to help with water and/or food....or whatever. ;) Also, Granite City gave us $150 in gift cards. We'll likely use these either on the road (if we find a Granite City to have supper at)...or have our post party catered by Granite City. thanks Tracy for scoring that one!
finally, remember to bring your garage sale items tonight, if you wish to sell.....and bring your Pita reciepts if you have any.
I will be sending our triple run schedule today or tomorrow. We will get the ball rolling on Tuesday monrning. See you tonight at the corner :), see you tomorrow at the ramp, see you at Jen's cabin for a hilly hot run. Just hoping to see you soon!

My Garage Sale
K...here's the deal. I, Leah Swedberg, am having a garage sale this Thursday evening and Friday morning/early afternoon. I have invited a few other people to contribute to the sale....since my stuff's not that cool...and I don't have that much. Anyway...a thought came up today from Leslie Brunette...and I am willing to open it up to the group, as long as it doesn't make my life difficult ;)
If you have ONE box (I am thinking paper box or slightly larger)of stuff ....or 1-2 larger items you'd like to get rid of....but don't necessarily want the money for it, I'd be happy to try to sell it on behalf of the WHORs and we can add that money to the "charity kitty."
If this is somethign you want to do...bring your stuff to Beardsley this WEDNESDAY NIGHT. (I will have rollie's truck.) Have it priced, unless you want me to make the call on it, and mark it with a "W." If it doesn't sell...it's going to the boys ranch. And please let me know in advance if you are going to give me a box....because I am nervous about getting 24 boxes of stuff I may have to price and find a place for ;)

Beardsley Half Marathon
Earlier I had sent a email inviting everyone to my lake home after the Beardsley Half for a Post race Party on September 6th.
Unfotunately, I found out recently I have to go to a shoe show for Foot Solutions at Mystic Lake Casino that day. Not only am I not going to be able to have you all out, I won't be able to run. I really regret having to rescind my invitation.
Another time, perhaps!

Congratulations Jenn Sabourin
Jen Benjamin is now Jenn Sabourin! Congratulations Jenn. It was a beautiful wedding...and the best wedding dance since my own in 2004!
Lake (sneaky way to say HILL) Run !!!!!
Laides!!!!
You are all welcome to come to my Lake Place on Saturday, August 2nd for a hill run. I would plan to be there by 7 am so that we can get started before it gets too hot. To get the most devine scenery, we will start at the Pelican Lake EAST PUBLIC ACCESS. From there we will run the South Pelican Lake Road to Highway 59 and back.
The total distance (if you want to run the whole thing) is about 8 miles (or so-maybe a little more.) BUT you do not need to run the whole thing. You can turn around where you want. It will be an "out and back" so distance is definately your choice.
After we are done, I would be happy to host coffee at my cabin (21268 county hwy #20) or we can hit the ADORABLE coffee shop in Pelican Rapids!!!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the lakes area--we are about 40-45 minutes from Fargo. You take I-94 to the Downer (#15) exit. Take a Left at the stop sign and head towards Downer. Downer has 1 stop sign. Go through it. Stay on that road through 2 more stop signs. At the 3rd stop sign, you should be at the Roadhouse restaurant.
Take a right at the Roadhouse. Follow that road through Cormorant village. You will come to another stop sign and will then be at the Pelican Lake Zorbaz. Turn Left.
Follow this road past my cabin (21268) for approx 4 miles. You will see signs for the Castaway Camp. Turn Left onto the road that leads to the camp. If you see the Catholic Church with the Green statue of Mary-you have gone just past the turn!
Follow this road past the camp to the public access parking lot. We will be waiting for you there!!!
Be there or be square!!!!
