Week 11 Results

Here are the results of last night's run. We are close to wrapping up for the year; next week is the Pizza Run and is our last scheduled run. For those of you unfamiliar with the Pizza Run, I supply the pizza, you supply an appetite! No cost to you - just a perk of participating in our hot, challenging 5K series. We have had 93 different runners/walkers participate this year. We had a lot of rain issues in the first part of the series, but it has been better lately. The rain chance for next Tuesday is 30%, about as good as we can hope for. :-). If rain proves to be a problem, we will chow down on the pizza under the porch roof of the Rec Center. One other item - there are a few regular participants that can not be here next week - and asked if we could have an "informal" run on Tuesday, August 8th. We can do that - so if you are interested just show up on Tuesday August 8th by 6pm, same place as usual. I'll provide Gatorade and water, but there will be no sign-in, course markings, mid-course water stop, results, or grilling out. So if you want to show up for another run, just come on out. This time, I can run with you! Meanwhile, stay hydrated and watch for distracted drivers. See you next week, Doug.

Week 10 Results

Hot day for a run, but at least NO RAIN AND LIGHTNING! We had about 40 show up - good turnout for us. Only two runs left - next week is a normal run and then the Aug 1 run is our annual pizza run, so don't miss that. Free pizza is always a good draw. I have a few people who have not picked up their shirts. If that is you, be sure to get it within the next two weeks, or give me a call. As we wind down for the year, just wanted to say how much I enjoy seeing you each week. We always have a good time, and we meet new people each week. Chris, my grandson, suggested we try to pose for a group picture on our last run. I thought that was a great idea; we are trying to set it up now. I originally thought the picture should be after the run, but it seems much better to take the picture just before the run starts, while everyone is in one place at one time. AND we will all smell a lot better before the run rather than after it, LOL! Oh, here are the results for run 10. Hope to see you next week. Stay safe. Doug

Week 9 Results

Wow, what a great run! Very hot, but we expect that in July. The shirts turned out nicely, the watermelon was ripe and sweet, the hot dogs tasted pretty good, and the company was OUTSTANDING! Glad all of you could be there, and it was great to see a few new faces as well. There are a few who were not there to pick up their shirts, so be sure to be there in future runs, or contact me to work out a pick-up. We have three runs left, so we are definitely on the downhill side of the series. The last run is August 1st, which will be Pizza Night, as usual. Check here for yesterday's run results. By the way, we did have someone who failed to register or sign in, hence the "Unknown Runner". If that person sees this post and would like that corrected, just let me know. Until next week, stay hydrated and run safely. Doug
