FIRST ANNUAL "BAND of RUNNERS" 5 Kan RUN

No Entry Fee, No T-shirt, No Bib, No Chip Timing, in fact there is not even a 5K distance.

But there is a chance to brighten the Holidays for a few families.

On November 12th bring (5) kan goods (or other non-perishable food items) to the Saturday morning run and enjoy a morning run with goods friends and free water every 4 miles*. We will be collecting the food items before and after the run in the Y parking lot and distributing them to a local food pantry just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

*If you don't care to bring can goods you can still join good friends for a run and even drink the water, cause that's how this group runs!

Whoa....where to begin this week! Congrats to Karen, Matt W. and Matt G. on their Columbus Marathon finish, great job! Michele Walker did it again, Baltimore Marathon Saturday and Atlantic City Marathon Sunday, is that 13 for the year? And what an amazing day for the newest Ultramarathon Man Dave Nichols on his 50 mile run at the Nashville Ultra, cannot wait to hear (read, hint hint) about this experience. I ran 5 miles and ate frozen yogurt Saturday....gezzzz, I gotta get on the road!

Figured we are all over the charts this week as far as mileage goes so below are 3 options to aid recovery or taper away, 12, 10 & 8 miler, and I think after this weekend we'll be safe to switch back to 4 mi. water stops for the fall/winter.

Good Luck to all those heading to St. Louis for the Rock n' Roll Marathon and to those staying home running the Ray Rahl 5k Saturday or the Sunset Sprint Sunday.

See you Saturday!
