June 13th - Sports Basements Weekly Email From Mike

ello Runners, Walkers, Joggers, Woggers,
Wow, what an awesome week of weather we had. I think this was the nicest week
that we've had all year. Hopefully everyone was able to get out a few days this
week and enjoy the weather with a nice run. Hopefully the weather continues
like this through the weekend for our weekly run this coming sunday.

I will be back to run with the group this sunday. My triathlon went ok last
week, I didn't drown after not swimming for 2 years, so that was
encouraging!

So as promised, another winner was pulled for our monthly raffle that we do for
a $75 gift certificate. The winner for the month of May was Darci C. Congrats
to Darci!

Just a few reminders like usual. We meet every sunday morning at 9AM at the
store... rain or shine. We step off shortly after that. Attached is a copy of
the route that we go. Some people run 1 mile, some run 10, it's entirely up to
you as well as the pace. Everyone generally starts together, but some people are
naturally faster than others and take off, but feel free to run whatever pace is
most comfortable for you.
Upon your return you are entitled to 2 FREE snacks from our nutrition
department... 2 bars, 2 drinks, a bar and a drink, a bar and a gu (individual
items, not whole boxes!), just make sure you get it "snacked out" at our
register. Aside from that, you get to enter you name into a monthly raffle for a
$75 gift certificate, if you come 4 times in a month then you get 4 entries for
that month!
