The First Villebilly Run Club Event was Small but Successful!

Six VBRC members plus the I.B. gathered at the Oak last Saturday evening to initiate our run club in the only way we know how:  running and drinking.  The weather was perfect and the company was up to the task.  We ran from The Oak to Patrick J's, where we enjoyed a beverage at the halfway mark before tackling the uphill portion of the run.  Dunkr was the clear leader at this point and if he had just had his beer and left he might have stayed as such.  We all decided to head back out together, though, and Dunkr's wife was not to be outdone by him - she blew back into the Oak ahead of all the rest.  Congratulations to all - we're working on the next event now.  Maybe the I.B. will bring a better camera.

Note that you do NOT have to log in to view - just close the dialog box that pops up.
Also note that the mile 3 mark is right about at the Crest Tavern, in case any of you need a break while running the uphill portion!

Just registered myself and 2 of my younger Vikings to do the Strides for Hope on September 11th. Will probably be doing more walking than running as one of them wants to bring a book. :( Hope to see you there! Fellow Warrior Astrid

The new look of the blog!

Warrior Dash 2011. Ah...the memories.
Let's keep this momentum going and keep each other informed of other running events. Let's keep the commeraderie going by planning some of our OWN running events (are you aware that it is exactly two miles from the Oak to Patrick J's?) Helga C has determined that she is going to sign up for the Strides for Hope run for Ovarian Cancer with her daughter. I plan to do the same.  As you all probably know, the innocent bystander and I lost a sister-in-law to this cancer. I'll be running - the IB will walk. This 5k event is on Sept 11, 2011 starting and ending at Genoa Park (by COSI). Who else is in?? Maybe we can make our own "Villebillies Run for Hope" team T-shirts. The link to this race registration is available on this page.

Registered!

Helga and Dunkr are registered also!!!!
