If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
– Woodrow Wilson
I don’t usually quote WW, but did find that this is an appropriate sentiment. Especially if what you are trying to change is yourself. If you are changing things in your life you probably have made a few enemies. As you start this new venture, running, don’t stop to review, keep going. Your true friends and your family will be there for you when your change is complete.

It is highly recommended that you bring a water bottle with you, I hope you are listening. It is still hot and although we will have water and Gatorade at 4 locations you may want to bring your own. I highly recommend that you bring a water bottle and fill it at home before you leave in the morning.
During the run, if you are wearing ear phones, only have one in your ear and have your volume at half volume. The reason? We have to share this path with others that are riding their bikes in the area. You have to be able to hear what is going on around you.
We have alot of volunteers, but are seeking more, if you know someone that would like to volunteer have them email me and we will assign them.
At the finish we will have awards, beer, vodka, tequila, food from Highlander Bar, Massage (for $1 per minute so bring check or cash), myfifoods is coming and Honeymilk.
