A Fine Message From Nurse Van Den Franken:

I realize many Vardos have running engagements scheduled for this weekend. However, if you are not committed to a race or other summer doings, you are welcome to join either a 10-mile run or a 4 mile run starting at 2115 McCarthy Rd. located just west of the football stadium off Beach Ave. I promise not to make you turn and cough.

Start time (you can groan now) is 0600 for 10 mile and 0700 for the 4-mile loop. Water fountain at Daley Park in west Ames is marked on the map at 3 miles. I forgot to mark the 2^nd water stop at about the 6-mile marker at Country Club Blvd and Gaskill Rd (Gatorade and water in marked cooler). Light breakfast fare will be served after the glorious run.  If we don’t see you at McCarthy on Saturday, Happy Flag Day and Good Luck at your race. Way to represent! Oh and give a shout out to all the Dad’s out there, Happy Father’s Day.
