Fun Dunn Run!

Blow me away...it's windy out there!! At least the sun is finally shining.

The Off-Season Striders will meet at Dunn Bros. Coffee on Elton Hills Dr. NW on Saturday morning at 7:30 AM. Any and all of you are welcome to join us. It would be great if we had a turnout like last week. John's route: Head out on West River Parkway, over to East River Parkway, then to Broadway south, for a scenic loop around Silver Lake (so close to Great Harvest, but yet so far…). Return via Zumbro bike trail to Dunn’s (~7miles) or keep going to head west up Elton Hills Dr. for an additional loop around Assisi Hts & return via Zumbro bike trail across from International Buffet on 11th/Civic Center Drive (9+ miles). Picture that??? Then it's back to Dunn Bros. for coffee, juice, blue corn pancakes (yum!), french toast or whatever suits your gastronomic fancy. ;-)

There will be no OSS run on Saturday, November 29. Instead, we encourage you to participate in the Gravy Train 12 at Running Room beginning at 8:00 AM. It's free! It's a 5K loop followed by an out-and-back on the Mayowood bike trail, which will hopefully still be snow free. Some year's is not ...

There are still 10 days to use the 20% off coupon in the Running Room eMagazine. Also on that page is a link to subscribe. There are always lots of good articles ... and a recipe from me! I just heard from Charlene at Running Room and I've been re-up'd for 2009.

My friend Lisa sent this video. It's pretty funny, even though it's a spoof (a Midas commercial).



Thought for the day: "We are not at our best when we are perched at the summit; we are at our best climbing--even when the way is steep."

Go. Be. Do.
