Fall Clean Up Time (An opportunity for new Members’ parents to meet the “old” ones!)

But it has to be done…

From Sharon:

We would like to start the fall clean up at the track.
 
First on the agenda is Monday, October 1st.
 
We need parents to help put the rail away. JP will be there early to get things started, but then his love of coaching will pull him to the trails.  The putting away job is much easier than the spring job of setting up.  Many hands make light work!!!  and this will get it done quickly. 
 
Please let JP know (mailto:fast4949@hotmail.com) you will be available to help so we know that we will have a big crew.

Thank you!

XC Camp 2012. For The Record…

Buckle your seatbelts, grab a comforter and settle in for a bumpy ride.

Bill has published a pictorial slice of life at this year’s XC Camp.

Be warned by the picture here. It can get rocky…

Collectors’ Items for Sale

Yes, there are still some BMY 2012 Meet special “Wicking Technology” T-shirts available for those of you that weren’t able to get one during the Meet itself.

Please remember that the funds from these sales all go towards improving our facilities and, in turn, our ability to host more of these  Big Meets.

Please consider investing in a few extras as gifts for Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas!

Having fun while you run is always in fashion, just ask the designers

Perhaps this is something we should be promoting as a major Summer event for all active Niagara Region people whose 40th birthday occurs in that year?

From National Post:

It’s very difficult to flourish as a runner if you dread every step you take. The fashion world, a group not particularly synonymous with strenuous physical activities (at least not during the day), seized upon this notion recently by combining exercise with good times when a group of fashionistas gathered this past Sunday at a track in Toronto to celebrate the 40th birthday of Bustle Clothing’s creative director, Shawn Hewson.
