There is Still Time

Current forecast is for a sweltering 90 degrees Tuesday, so like C & C Music Factory, this weeks run is going to make you sweat til you bleed. Run smart. (Typically by 5:30 the danger has passed but if the heat index is still high, consider scaling back your run, or even doing laps/intervals around Angela's TRY-angle which would allow for some running through Mr. Mister and keeps you close to the drinking fountain.)

I stopped by to cheer on and check out the Corner Store Country Run and it was as advertised...a barn raising good time with a swag bag to die for. If you want to get more freebies than you can physically carry back to the car with you...keep an eye out for this event next year.

Here was my haul, which was only "this small" because I stopped stuffing my bag:




This Friday and Saturday some TRYers are on a team taking part in the Peak 2 Brew relay race. (This is not a Ragnar. Ahem! Nothing to see here.) Perhaps someone from the team can provide information on how to best track the team progress? And perhaps someone on the team will volunteer to write up a summary for us, post race, so that we have some idea on what it's like to share a van with 5 other equally sweaty people caused by insanely doing this during the dog days of August. Woof-woof.

This Thursday night, I have "organized" a simple Syracuse Chiefs outing in the attempt to get several young kids to come out and enjoy the game together. (Preferably with their parents.) It was also done as a way to pass along the invite to TRYers. If anyone is interested - let me know and I'll pass along the details. Here is the graphic I made, which shows the time and dollar night specials. (Along with some Olympic thing?)

The New York State Fair is closing in on us. The leader, and probable winner, for the TRY Night At The Fair is the Sunday before Labor Day featuring Daughtry as the 8 pm concert. Apparently him losing American Idol was not enough to sway people into listening to Toto? (You can still vote in the FB poll if you want to feel the rains down in Africa.)

I stumbled upon this "new" feature of the fair this year and thought it was rather cool. Too bad it is a Wednesday and hardly anyone (that works) will be able to take advantage. But, since we have some bikers in our midst I wanted to make sure they saw this.



The "paper" just posted this excellent summary of what's new and different this year with the layout. It's the biggest changes in decades from what I can tell and certainly will make things unfamiliar, but hopefully in a good way?
