Your comment about the Grand Slam, "Dream Big" was exactly what motivated me to complete it last year.

I was president of the local running club so that gave me some extra connections into getting them started--and a few roadblocks too. I looked at the local races and found dates that worked well. <br /><br />You don't sleep well for 2-3 night before the race. Lots of details to take care of and worries that things may go wrong. Plus, on race morning, I was up at 3:30am to set up registration, aid stations, and course markings. Helps to have a GREAT group of dedicated volunteers!Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-39348931045567003632011-03-21T20:28:36.400-05:002011-03-21T20:28:36.400-05:00It is so cool that you started 3 races!!!

How did you decide which weekends to have them - was there a gap between races that you filled?<br />Is it true that you don't sleep the night before a race because you're scared a lot of little things will go wrong?Suzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948412249544557510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-19167331509609620562011-03-21T13:22:17.395-05:002011-03-21T13:22:17.395-05:00Hi Ed,

Hope you have a great time. I'm not even volunteering this year--spending time with the wife.<br /><br />I'll be at Pekin.Chris Ⓥhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415854268293709962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022566277176976821.post-56938270135174311822011-03-21T11:14:03.892-05:002011-03-21T11:14:03.892-05:00I will miss seeing you at the helm Saturday.

After being shut out the first year, I've enjoyed this "fun run" around the lake every year since.<br /><br />See you at McNaughton Park, if not this weekend.edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547250951360169480noreply@blogger.com
