Something new for 2019

I have a small problem.

Stress fracture :-(

It will be at least the middle of January before I'm able to put any miles on my feet due to this injury. Which means that there won't be any 100k run for me this year at the Hom 100. Yes, I'm bummed about the injury but I think I've found a new way to honor Tony's life and legacy at this years event.

This year we'll be creating teams of participants who will collectively work towards achieving their own 100k (62 miles) distance over the course of 12 hours. Teams can be made up of runners, walkers or cyclists...just no gas-powered or electric vehicles :-)

We'll unofficially start at midnight on February 2 and start collecting miles. We'll break at 8 am to gather up other friends and neighbors (and probably have some donuts) and then continue on until noon. The Davenport's will host a BBQ starting at 1 pm once everything is broken down and cleaned up at the main aid station.

There is still some work to do in preparation but I'm looking forward to seeing how things come together and whether this format will be more inclusive and fun for everyone involved. If you're interested in helping out at the aid station or contributing anything for the event (all food and supplies are donated), please let me know. We love the help!

2015 plans

It's hard to imagine topping the fundraising year we had in 2014 but I'm confident that you're going to be around to help me try.

I was hopeful to kick things off in May with the Hom 100 but unfortunately, it turns out that too much running is actually not such a good thing :) I've been off my feet now for 3 months dealing with tendonitis and a tear in my peroneal tendon. Not running. Very sad.

Of course it had to get be-dazzled

This set back likely means we'll move the date for the Hom 100 back into May sometime (yes, groan...I know it will be hot) to ensure I have enough time to train properly. Besides, moving it to May will ensure you've recovered from the holidays and gotten your federal refund back from Uncle Sam...which means more money you can donate in memory of Tony.

I'll be posting another 'save-the-date' for May here shortly but until then, stay warm and be safe out there...
