ARE STRS- May 22, 2008

Albany Running Exchange is a local running group. They are a great group of people who love to have fun and are very supportive of their running friends. They kicked off there Summer Running series May 22 with a cookout after. The run was a 3.1 loop that you could do as many as you wanted. Of course I only ran one loop and went right for the food....."My mama didn't raise no fool....."

The GHI Workforce Team Challenge, May 15 2008

GHI was so much fun! In order to run this race you had to be part of a team from where you are employed. I am working part time at the YMCA so I ran with that team. It was a very nice night. the race took place at 6:25 in the evening and was 3.5 miles. There were 7,186 people running. It was crazy. The first 22 seconds of the race you were walking and then it was a slow run until people started to scatter. The race started at The Empire State Plaza in Albany. It was one of the funest runs I have had so far. After the run the YMCA put on a little dinner for the employees that ran.
