This month celebrates our Fathers on June 19th. We celebrate the memories we have with our Dad’s by re-telling some of the funny stories that happened. The many times we shared Sunday’s with Bob’s Dad “Barney” and my Dad “Pete” will stay with us forever. At the end, although both of our Dad’s had Alzheimer’s, we enjoyed the part of them that was left and really looked forward to spending time with them. I hope you spend some time with your father’s this Father’s Day, if they are no longer with you, share some stories with your family to keep their love alive.
Last Saturday we completed our Run For The Roses 5K at TY Park. What a great turnout we had with over 326 participants. It was a wonderful family event with a special appreciation of the mothers. Check out the photo’s on our club’s Facebook page or go to our club web site, they are really great. This year we had a new sponsor in the Cleveland Clinic. With their support, we were able to offer a $12 discount to over 90 participants that registered on line during our 4 day registration blitz. Thanks again to Cleveland Clinic and our many other continuing sponsors that help make our events special.

The 39th Annual running of our Freedom 5K at Quiet Waters Park on June 25th is the second oldest race in Florida. This event attracts over 500 participants every year and this year looks to be even larger. Tom Coccia will be sure to have some tradition summer refreshments that are guaranteed to keep you cool. We appreciate the great job he does on our food at every race. Wear your patriotic best running / walking attire and plan on an all American fun run.

Stay cool and hydrated on your runs / walk as we head into the summer months. Our Coolmax orange team singlets are great for the summer. We have them available at all of our training runs and events.
Run For Fun,
