Just a couple of fun and good things to share. Very excited that Teens Run Yonkers began working with another school this week.
We had seven great teens come out with us this past Wednesday to start the program. We kicked off the program by having everyone do
the "Magic Mile" (thank you Jeff Galloway!) and a great place to do it since their school has a nice track right there on sight. What's also excellent is that their school is well positioned to do some great hill runs along North Broadway so I have no doubt that this group will do an awesome job on
the Yonkers 1/2 Marathon in September. Great to see!
Also thrilled that by the end of next week, Teens Run Yonkers will be working out of a new site. This will be great as really the next step in
building our organization is having some amazing interns focusing on volunteer engagement, community outreach, social media and of course, raising funds
for the program. So, if you're reading this and like what you've been hearing about Teens Run Yonkers, yes, of course we're accepting donations! (Yes, I'm using the blog as a bit of a platform for this but hey, if you don't ask. Our program is one of the most cost effective you'll find - so as not to make this a maximum fundraising pitch, I'd invite to check out the first page of the website if you want to learn more; it's www.teensrunyonkers.org . OK, now that we've moved back to blog world, definitely an exciting time for the program!
On a personal running note, I need a marathon. The NJ thing re-inspired me and absolutely have to do one within the next two to three months. Why? Just because I do. It definitely becomes a bit hard to find them here on the East Coast in the summer months but maybe I'm missing something...Anyway, if you have suggestions, I'm open. Definitely feel that with more of the Galloway stuff, I'm going to hit that sub-5 in the next one or two.
Finally, easy Seinfeld trivia segue tonight. I'm picking my wife up from JFK really late. So, Airport Episodes. Several of 'em! (I have a feeling we may have been in this zone before but...) Anyway, one of my favorites involves not just an airport pickup but a date gone bad for George and he wants revenge. Who does he want to exact revenge on - or at least say something to? The episode also involves the installation of cable? Slightly tough one here: What was the initial quoted price for the installation? What is the end price when Jerry decides against semi-pirated cable? Another airport pick-up involves Kramer tracking down a long last roommate who owes him some back rent. What is the name of the roommate? Does he get his money back? What happens to George at the end of this one? There's even more but I'm going to watch the Rangers win Game 6 now! Go Rangers!!
