Here we go, Folks!!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
Saturday May 8, 2010
Yay!  Yippee!  Great Job!  You made it!!
Well, everyone should be across the finish line by now.  Goal has been achieved.  I hope you're pampering yourself a little, treating yourself to something special, RELAXING!  Whatever "reward" means to you, I hope you get it or see to it that you take a moment to savor the accomplishment.  It turned out to be a windy cool day.  The cooler temps probably helped, but the wind probably hurt a little.  No matter the final time on the clock, crossing the finish line is the ultimate prize! 
I'm glad that you went along this journey with us, and I hope that you continue a lifestyle of health and fitness.  You can do that by continuing to run or adding in some other form of physical activity.  All that matters is that you take care of this one life and body that you've been entrusted with.  It's a blessing and a privilege! 
If you're not a regular Shelby Roadrunner, please consider joining us for a training run soon.  All the info you need can be found by browsing around the website.
