Final Post

I am going to make this my final post for the 2009 races. I am headed back to school tomorrow and am excited about focusing on my students education! It is hard to remember that race directing is volunteer when I worked so many hours this summer. Hopefully, all of that hard work will pay off and you will all enjoy a great race.

Most of the planning is done and now we wait for all of the awards to get completed, the goodies for the goodie bags to arrive, and for you to register, so we can order all of the shirts, etc. We have one more committee meeting and then we get together to stuff packets. I will admit, I am a little nervous about all of the details coming together. I wasn't even this nervous for my wedding which was planned and happened within 4 weeks, successfully. There are a lot of little details that happen close to race day. I am a "planner" so when everyone says, "We'll get you that the week before the race." I struggle to say, "Okay." It is pretty customary for things to be completed the week before. Amazing.

I will finish with saying that our registrations are up by over 100% from last year. So, at this time last year, we had less than half of the people registered that we have at this time, this year! That is super exciting as there will be lots of company for you!

Best of luck with your last long runs...and please do enjoy your taper! See you soon! Sara
