On The Minds of Moms

Kathleen Wrigley and her adorable children are on the cover of a new magazine available at Hornbacher's called On The Minds of Moms. There is a wonderful feature article on her and super photos of her and her family.
Check it out online at http://onthemindsofmoms.com/ or pick up a copy.

It's great to see her get recognition for the wonderful wife and mother that she is!

Way to represent the W.H.O.R.s Kathleen!

Upcoming Races

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?
