Well, I'm not sure why, but it was nice to see that some folks checked into our blog today. I do check those things you know...
Anyway, lots of exciting and cool things going on. First, it was a great weekend for Teens Run Yonkers - or should I say Teens Run Westchester. We'll get to that in just a second. Our mentors and teens had an awesome time at the Aqueduct Run which was part of the 2012 Aquefest - if you haven't already been inundated by my posts and links to that, once more for your enjoyment, here are a few cool things from that event:

by the way, do not look and then move on without liking us!
Also, some cool info on the Aquefest itself: http://rivertowns.dailyvoice.com/news/aquefest-celebrates-old-croton-aqueduct-0
There was a great crew of runners out there and everyone did an awesome job on a nice trail course. I have to say that after checking out the course a few times on my own, I think I've discovered why so many runners use that as a core part of the training. It really does make you use some muscles that you typically don't on the road. I did a nice 6+ miler on there the day before the run and really felt it. Anyway, it was a great experience and hopefully we introduced the program to some new folks. And they were introduced to one of Westhchester's undiscovered gems.
The other big, but for now sort of quiet switch, is that we'll be moving Teens RUn Yonkers towards its legal and formal identity of Teens Run Westchester. Just in the process of re-setting some of our infrastructure - website, database etc. towards that end. I think it will be a good switch for us and open us up to new partnerships, volunteers and overall opportunities.
That's it for now -
Oh, almost forgot - looking forward to an upcoming weekend of Las Vegas with my fraternity brothers; always a good time. You may recall I did a few posts awhile back about the many things you can learn that are of value from the fraternity experience. I'm honestly not sure if this weekend will add to that discussion - - but I'm sure it will be fun and um...memorable. But you know, it has to stay in Vegas. Well, at least I've got you thinking
