SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

MORNING! PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, NEIGHBORS, OR EVEN STRANGERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S MARATHON! IF YOU NEVER HAVE, COME OUT. I KNOW IT APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE INTIMIDATING, BUT IT'S REALLY GREAT FUN TO BE SUCH A PART OF SOMETHING SO BIG FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I CAN COMPARE THE CAMARADERIE OF OUR COMMUNITY TO, IS THE FLOOD FIGHT LAST YEAR. IT'S LIKE WE'RE ONE HUMONGOUS TEAM, ALL IN IT TOGETHER, WHETHER YOU'RE A RUNNER, WALKER, WHEELER, OR A VOLUNTEER. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND, AND I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT. PLUS, MARK AND HIS TEAM GIVE THE BEST GOODIE BAGS OUT FOR PARTICIPANTS!

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, GLORIA WRIGLEY, HAS WALKED THE HALF-MARATHON JUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR! GLORIA'S 70 SOMETHING. SORRY, G, I PROMISE I WON'T TELL. SHE GROWLS EVERY TIME SHE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE IN THE DOME, AND THEY YELL OUT HER NAME AND AGE! IT'S AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND WE'RE PROUD OF HER ALWAYS! SHE'S SIGNED UP AGAIN THIS YEAR! GO, G!

AND, THEN THERE'S MY MOM, NANCY BOYLE, WHO IS UNABLE TO RUN THESE DAYS BC OF HORRIBLE KNEES, BUT TREKS OUT FROM THE BIG CITY (PHILADELPHIA) AND SPEED WALKS THE HALF-MARATHON, MOST YEARS. MY MOM'S 60. SHE'LL BE HERE AGAIN, THIS YEAR!

THEY'RE BOTH JUST SOME OF THE STUDETTES PARTICIPATING!

GO NOW TO WWW.FARGOMARATHON.COM TO JOIN THE FUN AND SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE RACES! IT'S WONDERFUL FUN, AND I PROMISE YOU'LL FEEL SO PROUD.

KATHLEEN
PS DREW AND I ARE STILL ON COURSE FOR THE FULL MARATHON. OPTIMISTICALLY KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED...WE GET TO DO 20 MILES THIS WEEKEND.
