Few More Months...

We had another committee meeting this week and all is well on its way! Everything is coming together. We have ordered the medals and awards. We are getting hats embroidered for our volunteers, and those were ordered. We have designed the shirts, simple and something that can be worn running or around town. We have new banners being made for the starts and the finish. Northface has joined our efforts and will be printing our bibs. Aid station leads have been contacted and details are going out to them. Boulder Running Co. and Colorado Running Co. have set up vendors to have great items at our expo. There is more...but it escapes me as I write.

I mentioned Northface earlier. They have joined us in our effort to put on a fantastic race. They are providing "gear packages" for our top male and female winners in both the marathon and the half marathon.

So, the weather is finally warming up out here and we had a week in the 70's. It was beautiful. Now that it is warming up, it is the perfect time to officially begin that training program for the marathon. If you are doing the half, there is no need to wait. Travis, the ADT race director the previous two years and good friend, will be running the marathon this year. It is his first marathon. It is exciting to hear how his training is going. I know there are many of you already in this process, and it would be fun for some of you to post a comment or two! As of now, we have 42 marathoners, and 9 half marathoners registered. I know the numbers will grow rapidly through the summer.

Anyways, for myself, I have one more peak week of training and then I begin my taper. I will be in Ft. Collins next week to cheer on a training partner in the Colorado Marathon. I have three more weeks of teaching. Summer here we come!
