Komen 5k in November

Freescale (where I work) is hosting a team for the Komen Race in November. They are offering a 50% discount to the first 600 people to sign up on their team. They invite employees, family and friends to join the team so I am extending this out to the running family.

Let me know if you are interested. I will forward the discount code to you along with my work number so they can track which employee you "belong" to. FSL usually offers up a shirt as well, which they encourage people to wear on race day, although that is not a requirement.

As far as packet pickup for this goes, the FSL team coordinator will pickup all of the race bibs and will distribute them to the employees. If you want yours mailed to you by Komen, you are free to do that as well. We usually get the bibs on the Friday before the race so I can meet everyone on Saturday morning for the "normal" Saturday run and hand out the bibs/shirts/etc.

Just say no

All love to Adidas and ASICS, but Nike ads, man... they just get to you. This one's a little odd, and hard to follow, but we all know the conversation.

Announcements!

Wow, there's lots of important stuff happening.

As she announced on the Team Spiridon site yesterday, Michelle Streetman is with child. Congratulations, Michelle and Paul! Paul will apparently have to run enough for both of you - he was planning on training for the half marathon, so I guess now he has to run the full.

Joey Reyes is also about to have a kid - ETA is Sunday morning, I think. I meant to give him a shout-out a week ago for being called into service by the Army (Army, am I right, Joey? I know you people are touchy about getting the branch wrong) to help with people that might have gotten displaced by Hurricane Dean. You already did your time in Iraq, and you're still there when you're needed - we appreciate that.

I do have to say that for a chopper pilot, you seem to have a horrible time finding things when you're on the ground...

Some of us have been watching a good friend (and her husband) go through a lot to have and keep a kid. I don't want to be too out of line, but for her sake, I want to say that even when it's a surprise, I know better now what a lucky, fortunate thing it is. So really, congratulations to you guys.

Finally, Upstart Carmen is having a party this Saturday night, and we're all invited.
