Running Request!!

Via the Racine Area Running Club (thanks Sara!!)

Vicki from Des Moines is looking for someone (or a few people) to run with on Saturday as she is training for Chicago and needs to get in 20 miles -- here is her latest email and I've included her in this week's email blast.

"Sara, I'm from Des Moines, IA and I e-mailed you awhile back about catching a long run with some Racine runners on Saturday, Sept 21. I haven't heard much from the group yet, and am still looking for company on a 20 miler that morning. Would you be able to re-forward my information to the group? I'm hoping there will be a few people signed up for Chicago (like me), who are also looking for a 20. Thanks so much, Sara!!!'

Vicki 

Vicki Vanderkwaak, LISW, CPCC, ACC

Let Vicki know if you might be able to run with her at all on Saturday!  We all know that even a few miles of company is better than none!
