Some Stats
Checked the blog stats and in addition to US views, we apparently have some members in the Netherlands, Russia, Thailand, Slovenia and Croatia among other countries. We even had a view from Cote d'Ivoire but apparently nobody from Kenya or Ethiopia hit the site looking for running advice.
Group Run
Weather willing, our group run will be at Sailor's Point in Peace Vally Park (Lake Galena) at 10:00AM on 12/31. It's the intersection of Myers and New Galena Roads. Ample parking, port-a-johns and a chance to run across a windy causeway. Today's reports are that the trails are mostly clear. One loop is ~6 miles. Feel free to start earlier if you are ambitious. Multiple excellent post exercise food choices. I'll be doing a 7 mile bike loop if you prefer to bike rather than run. The run may be wet so don't forget dry shoes and socks for apres run.
Fund Raiser
From Randy Opdyke - "Just wanted to make you aware of a charity I am supporting that you or any club members may be interested in. On January 16th I will be running the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Phoenix, AZ. I will also be raising money for St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. I'm sure you're aware of St Jude's. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, since 1962 St.Jude has been the premier organization for research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Parents magazine named St. Jude the No. 1 pediatric care hospital in the country, based on the survey of more than 75 children's hospital nationwide. At St Jude no child is ever denied treatment because of a families inability to pay. And the daily operating costs are primarily covered by public contributions. I hope you will consider sponsoring me with a tax deductible contribution. You can contribute online with a credit card at my personal web page, www.mystjudeheroes.com/justrun. You will be able to print a receipt for your records at that time.
Tkank-you in advance for your support. May you have a happy and healthy New Year."
