Ruthie's Send Off Wally Run OYO Weekend July 2

Hey

This is an OYO weekend so for those of you who have plans out of town for this holiday weekend, be safe and we look forward to seeing you July 9th for the first Apopka run of the session. For those of you who are staying in town and are interested in a few miles, hopefully we can add to the fun by starting off your weekend with a Ruthie send off Wally Run (part one)!! This Wally Run will be a little different because after the run and we go into Wally's to pay our respects to Mary Lou (the bartender) we can mosey over to Banana's across the street to continue the Ruthie send off further with brunch....Stay tuned for part two.....
Since this an OYO weekend we thought we'd pass along this fun Blog post we saw in RW... this is something you may already know... you are not gaining weight you just think you are! Here
As far as the run is the concerned.... this week Krystal has graciously offered to plan our route... it will be an 8 mile route that will start at Wally's, we will meet at 5:30 and start at 5:45 .... Thanks Krystal!!
Reminder!! don't forget as you decide on your fall race be sure to let us know.
