Hey turtles!
I am filling in for co-captain and blogger extrodinaire Mona "Steven King" Fitzer this week to give you all the exciting details of this week's run at Sharon Woods! Diehards Jeff "the Regulator" Robek, Steve "Thunder Down Under" Smith and myself burned the trail in opposite directions, passing other runners, walkers, and furry land creatures along the way. The weather was no picnic, with mother nature providing us with a light dusting of snow and cold temperatures that usually accompany the arrival of the holiday season. Jeff is committed to the December 6 Jingle Bell Run downtown and the December 14 Holiday Run at Sharon Woods, total Jack Turtle turf. The Thunder Down Under has committed to the Jingle Bell Run (he secretly wants to meet Mary Lou Retton?), and Mona and I are signed up for the Turkey Trot on Lane Avenue Thanksgiving morning. Any other racers? Don't let this cold weather slow you down- keep in good spirits and keep pounding the pavement as we round out 2008 and head towards 2009!

Thanks, Bill for the update!
I must admit that I am VERY PROUD of the male turtles and highly disappointed by the lack of female turtles on Sunday. Come on ladies, don't let the men outnumber the women! :)
Derek and I are back from Bowling Green and I find myself very grateful for a loving grandfather and his crazy bunch of decendents that I call... "my family".
In an earlier post, Dyan volunteered to host breakfast at her house following the Jingle Bell run on Saturday, December 6th. Well, her plans have changed and she can no longer host breakfast now afterall. Prehaps, another turtle could come through and help us out on that day? Stay tuned for more information on Jingle Bell day festivities.
See you on the Sharon Woods trail @ 9am this Sunday. Anyone interested in meeting at my house @ 6pm this Wednesday for a mid-week run through the neighborhood? Have a great week everyone~

I think that the Robeks will volunteer to do something on the 6th, but as we have discussed informally with some of the JTs already, we were thinking of a Jack Turtle holiday party that evening...more details to come on that. I am officially registered for both the Jingle Bell and the Holiday run, anyone else?
