Ladies and Gentelmen Can I Please Have Your Attention

I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you to stop what you are doing and listen.
CANNON BALL!!!!

Ooops, wrong script. Ah yes, here is this weeks update:

A TRYer had her car attempted to be broken into while we were running last Tuesday night! It was a an amateurish attempt -- but they completely ruined her door lock to the point that her key no longer worked. Just like I did, she assumed that a busy parking lot was safe, and had left some obvious valuables sitting out in the open. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but about $100 worth of damage was done to her car...so it was still an expensive break-in.

Takeaways:
Indio is the man! (And is now a Friend of TRY).
Be careful with your stuff. This is a reminder that you should never leave your purse and electronics sitting out. I know some of you tuck things into your trunks -- and I thought that was excessive paranoia -- but not anymore. I was wrong. You were right. Good job not trusting humanity.
We will now be meeting beforehand and wrapping up TRY afterward on the parking lot side of the rental building. It's not nearly as nice of a set up...but me and whoever else wants to can keep an eye on the parking lot for those 10-15 minutes as we're talking...and that can be 10-15 minutes on Tuesday nights that the parking lot is being watched over. I like the Liverpool park a lot and I want it to be a safe place...so I plan to do my part and provide a visible presence that might keep little punk bastards from attempting to break into vehicles.

Tonight:
Please know your limits and if you start to feel lightheaded, please back off. In fact, I am not going to put a recommended group run idea out there because I don't want to encourage anyone to push too hard on what is kind of our first summer-hot day this year. Certainly its our first hot Tuesday night. Perhaps a slow and steady run is in order. Also, throughout the day hydration is very important on a day like this.

Relay for Life:
Some expected teammates have not signed up yet. Please sign up if you know you are doing this as it helps planners figure out what size teams to expect. Here is our LM Team page.

A little color:
Here are a couple group shots from the fun Making Tracks for Celiacs event this past Saturday. Who is up for Frisbee Golf at Jamesville sometime? (It has a large frisbee golf course...it looked fun.)

Terry Tate-
Not going to make it tonight. Flight back from CA was not fun, especially since we were stuck in Detroit last night. I'll be resting up for next week.
