And Now: Here’s The Vardo

A. Saturday's Route info: Run starts at 8am at Panera.  

6-mile route: Follow the 14-mile route below to Beyer Hall for a drink out of their fine water fountains, then return back the same way you just came!  

7-mile route: Follow the 14-mile route below to Beyer Hall for a drink out of their fine water fountains, then continue on with them to the Community Center for another drink, then back to Panera. 

14-mile route: http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=275418. Water stops are at miles 3 (Beyer Hall), 6 (Community Center), 10 (Beyer Hall again). The route doubles back on itself in a couple of areas. Basically it is as follows: Panera to University to Lincolnway to Beyer. Beyer to Ontario/13th to Northwestern to the Community Center. Community Center to Duff to 13th Street to Hyland to Beyer. Beyer to Hayward to Mortensen to University to South 3rd to Panera.  

RouteMaster Vardaman will most likely not be there, so please print a map for yourselves, if needed.  

B. Tonight after the run (6:30pm in the Community Center lunchroom), if there are any Team 12.4 graduates who would like to share a little something about their experiences in Team 12.4, I would love to have you stop by the annual Team 12.4 Informational Meeting to help recruit this year's crop of runners. You may come in your running gear; don't feel that it is necessary to change. You will be first on the agenda, so you can get out of there ASAP.   

C. Please welcome Ms. Kecia Goodman as the new Assistant Coach of Team 12.4 (this might require an elevation in her status from Sister to Assistant Mother)! Coach Kecia will be leading some of the group runs and educational sessions. She rocks!     

D. Check out Team Vardo's own Bill Pattinson (aka "The Other Bill") as the Zoom Performance Featured Athlete of the Month: www.getzoomperformance.com
