Hi Folks,
Note to self...Since we just celebrated the 10th anniversary of the attacks against the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the plane crash in Pennsylvania, do you remember where you were when this happened. I was at the Grand Canyon and taking in one of Mother Nature’s best beauties.

RAVE RUN…
Call me old. But lately I’ve been looking up videos on YouTube. Yep, it’s only taking me 10 years to get out there. There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there. I came across a video from the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and the 400 meter finals. Watch the video and tell me what you think. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlXWp6vFdE
Send me your moments, experiences, places, or people that you feel we can enjoy reading about in the BG email.

And now for some messages from the Hippy Dippy Weatherman…
I saw an article in the newspaper that mentioned, even though it’s getting chilly outside, the skeeters are still out in force. And it appears the authorities found a case of West Nile Virus in the area. So, keep the bug spray flowing.
Most folks think that fall is the best time of year with the changing of the trees and the beautiful fall colors. But a word of caution. With the falling leafs, be careful where you step. There could be sharp objects such as glass under the fallen leafs that could cut into your shoes and feet. A few years ago, a local runner step on glass that was hidden by leafs and cut into her foot and slicing through tendons. She was off for a long time recuperating.

Here are some races on the BG calendar. This is not an exhausting list of races, but just some that we discuss during recovery and that the BG will venture to.
Tyranena Half-Marathon, Lake Mills, November 5th.
If you have an idea for a race that you think the BG will enjoy, send it my way and we can discuss them at recovery.
