If you are not heading to Jacksonville for the 5k, is anyone looking to get together for a run on Independence Day this Wednesday?
Wendy and I will be out of town that morning, but if anyone else is planning to run, let's hear about it in comments.
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent States"
--The Declaration of Indepedence, July 4, 1776

I'm going to a party Tuesday night so I won't be able to run early on the 4th. The marathon group is going to run 14 on Sat. at 6:30 a.m. from Panera. The route director should be posting it soon.

We missed you Russ last Sat. I hope you feel better by this weekend so you can get your 14 in. Take care of yourself and eat some chicken soup. Suppose to help with colds as you know.
Have fun at your party Pam. Good thing Wed. is a rest day. Remember to rotate water and cocktail throughout the eve.
Thanks Tim for the quote about the holiday. Only about half the Americanpeople wanted revolution and half wanted to stay with England; so it was only by persistance and determination(like runners) that the rebels won the war and we became a free country.I keep a picture on my bulletin board at work with an army guy who lost both legs in Iraq. His dream was to run with the President. The picure is of him, with 2 false legs running with Bush on the White House grounds. It is an inspiration for me that this guy has a lot more handicaps than I do so I should never complain that running is hard or difficult. On this July 4th we should think of the men and women in Iraq that are there because their country told them to go ther. We can hate the war but we should love the warriors and support them.
from the mother of a Warrior - AMEN and thank you.
