After the Deadline, Back to School

31 August 2007. The price goes up. All day long people are signing up like crazy. It's gonna be a fun race.

Here's a couple things:Accelerade & Endurox Deals--they have an online web page for us that allows a nice discount off their regular prices. Check it out on our sponsor page. Or link directly to www.accelsport.com/grandrapids

The kids marathon - This is cool. Gives our kids a chance to participate too. Might get crazy around the YMCA on Saturday, but we'll have a ton of fun.

Hats - people are crazy about them. Everyone wanted to know how to buy one! So, go to the web page, click on the Marathon Merchandise link. It's easy, it's fun, it's a technical material hat with some cool stitching (Ha! I didn't have to type the "E" word this time.), and the model is pretty good looking too.

Training run - Gazelle is hosting a 20 mile training run, on Sept 22 at 8:00 at John Ball Zoo. No, it's not a race, but you can sign up for it for $15 and get a technical training shirt (first 150 people). Course preview sometime around 7:30 by my mom's favorite race director. Check it out on the website.

Other training runs - Starting this weekend, your race staff will be doing long runs from the YMCA on the weekends. I'll be emailing you with details so if you want to, you can join us, get acquainted, run a few miles, and maybe grab a cup of coffee or something. Back to school. The kids are out of your hair now, you should be able to get a few more miles in.

and the adventure continues....
