Group running opportunities! - And High School Section Track Championship Week! - And Med City Marathon Weekend!

Great job to everyone involved in the Med City Marathon weekend. The weather was nothing short of brutal! - I, along with many of you, limiting the event to a half marathon as the longest distance was a great decision.  - Thank you to all the TerraLoco Pacers, volunteers along the way, Kasey and Nite Shift and all the Beer pour'ers! 

Best wishes to all the area runners and coaches as they prepare for their High School Section Championships this week. It's a big week for those aspiring to reach the State Track meet!

Best wishes for those preparing for Chester Woods and Kettle Morraine as well!  It's a super loaded weekend, have fun!

Wendy has created a Sign Up page for anyone interested in home hosting! - Remember, for the most part, any 2nd or 4th Thursday are up for grabs.  Check out the link and let's visit each others homes! It's always a pretty relaxing environment when we have these home host get togethers!

I finally grabbed a picture of two members who have been with us for a bit, but they finally held a press conference.  This is a shot of us at the Free Agent signing press conference held at the Eagles Club!

Another Free Agent, Shannon joined us during the Med City marathon expo! Shannon is a strong runner who snuck past me during the TC 10 Miler a year ago.
