WEEKEND RUNS:
As a reminder everyone is welcome to join us on Saturday mornings for group runs. Look on the blog in the middle of the week to find out details about the run. All paces are welcome!
PHOTOS:
I will soon be posting photos from the race. I want to collect them from anyone who had a camera, so please email me your photos. I will probably do some short "You Tube" video to music by the end of the week.
SHOES:
I still need to determine the best use for the shoes. The age of some of the shoes make it so many donation programs cannot use them for runners. There is a another charity that I think we can use for those older shoes however. Nike has the "Nike Reuse-A-Shoe" program that takes old shoes, and grinds up the rubber soles of shoes, and then reuse them in places where kids can play and be active (tracks, courts, playgrounds, etc.) This also helps the environment by eliminating waste.
There are not drop-off locations in North Carolina, but the shoes are used world wide. The closest location to us is Myrtle Beach. If there is someone in our group heading that way in the near future, we can arrange a drop off. If not I can mail them to Nike, but I may need some help to cover the postage. I have motivation to do this quickly, because you all have some STINKY FEET that are now stinking up my van ;-)
