Ride to Illinois City Methodist Church for Breakfast - Cost is Donation
Tony Carl is planning to run (rather than bike) to the church for breakfast and back. He ran it last year and said it is about 8 miles from the HNI parking lot (corner of Oak and 2nd) to the church. We are meeting at 6:30 a.m.
Bike riders 7:00 a.m. --- Runners 6:30 a.m.

A note from Charles Potter concerning the Dubuque Half Marathon:
Hello all -- One of my favorite races is coming up on Labor Day. That's the Dubuque Half Marathon. Miles 7-10 are very hilly. Good food at the finish line. You can find an entry form by googling "Dubuque Half Marathon" or "Mississippi Valley Running Association." (The formal name is "Dubuque Benefit Classic.") There's also a 5K, which is boring and perfectly flat. The
registration fee for the half jumps from 30 to 40 dollars after September 1, so anyone who's interested better jump as well. -- Charles

A message sent from Vinton Cromer concerning the Governor's Run:
You all should know that the organizers of Governor's Cross Country Run have canceled their event for this November. A notice is being written and will be submitted to Barb for inclusion in the October newsletter.
New difficulties with the Scott County Park Board and the park ranger influenced their decision. Apparently, the park is best used by people driving through and not touching anything. It would be terrible if 500 high school kids actually ran across the dead weeds and grass. I shudder at the irreparable damage they would cause.
A new condition of approval of the race was that the park management could decide to cancel the event, at any time, right up to the actual start of the race. Park restrooms would also be locked portapotties delivered, and all food would have to be catered by a professional.
A new $400 use fee was also added.
As a result, to continue our scholarship fund, we'll have to dig into our reserve funds for next spring's awards.
Note that the race is looking into new venues for 2010.
-Paul

A message from Nancy Shell :
I am having a great time here in Denver. The Breast Cancer 3Day Walk is going GREAT! The weather is perfect--highs low to mid 80s and lows mid 50s. I have finished 40+ miles now. My running and conditioning have really paid off (thanks in part to my Running Friends). I have finished each day by 2pm after starting at 7am. I am feeling GREAT!! No blisters or feet problems at all. No sore leg muscles; just achy lower back from sleeping on the ground. No inflated mattress--definitely no room in my bag.Please tell everyone 'hi' for me. See you Wed evening or next Saturday morning.Love,Nancy ShellFor more information about the Breast Cancer 3-Day, or to register for the 2010 event, visit www.The3Day.org or call 800.996.3DAY today.The Breast Cancer 3-Day®.

Guess what?! I talked to Paul Schmidt of Cornbelt yesterday at Run with Carl. Governor's Run is back on. When faced with the race cancelling or moving, Scott County decided they could relax some of their new restrictions.
