December 11 Run

I know we are supposed to get a pile of snow over the next couple of days, but thought I would still check to see if anyone is still interested in getting out for a few miles in it Saturday morning?  The footing should be nice and soft!

7:15 at the SMS front doors.  Let me know if you would like to get out earlier for a few extra miles and I can meet you.

Got out early (6am) with Kevin, then met up with Lee at his house before heading to the school.  No one showed up there this morning, so the 3 of us headed out for a few more miles in the beautiful snowstorm this morning.  We must have gotten 2 inches just in the time we were out, with a forcast for 10-12 inches by morning.

July 31 Run

Just a quick reminder that Ironwood Springs will be having their 5k trail run on Saturday at 8am.  Registration begins at 7am.  Consider coming out for this race.  It really is a lot of fun and even crosses the river a time or two.  For more information, see http://www.ironwoodsprings.com/miracleshappenfestival.aspx

I will not be at the run this Saturday, as I will be working out at the race at Ironwood.  Post a comment to this if you are wanting to meet and check back to see if there are others interested.

Come join me if you can for my run to benefit the Rochester Area Family Y's Strong Kids Campaign.  The run is next Tuesday, Aug 3, from 5am-10pm.  Call 287-2260 to get your name added to the schedule for the other treadmill.  See http://www.rochfamy.org/ and http://mrparrysendurancechallenge.blogspot.com/ for more information.

Planning on next weekend's run though.

Happy running!

YMCA Strong Kids Campaign 17 Hour Treadmill Run

Mr. Parry's Endurance Challenge for the YMCA
 
Come in and support Mr. Jim Parry on Tuesday, August 3rd. Jim will be running from 5AM-10PM (17 hours!!) on a treadmill in our lobby to raise money for our 2010 Strong Kids Campaign! You may have heard of Mr. Parry's Endurance Challenge in Stewartville a few months ago. Mr. Parry teaches 6th grade and he is interested in raising awareness about the importance of exercise for youth and everyone in the community. During his 24 hour run in Stewartville, he completed 100 miles. Jim used to work at the YMCA in Rochester and so did his father. Jim shared, "My family was able to take part in Y programs when I was a child because of the scholarship program. We would never have been able to afford those opportunities without the generosity of others." So Jim is giving back on Tuesday, August 3rd from 5AM-10PM at the Rochester Area Family YMCA: Visit www.rochfamy.org for more information.
 
You can help Jim out by:
1) Running along side Jim. We will have a schedule for people who can run with him on a 2nd treadmill in the lobby.
2) Pledge Jim efforts with a donation to our Strong Kids Campaign at www.ymcastrongkids.org.
3) Spread the word. Share this information and invite others to participate by visit www.rochfamy.org.
4) Volunteer to help organize this effort by emailing brendak@rochfamy.org.
