Schedule of Events

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend and put in some fantastic running with the beautfiul weather we're having! I'd like to remind everyone about the Race of Truth: adidas Urban Run 5K that will be held this Monday. Please, please sign in with Warren so that he can record your name and bib number at the adidas Sport Performance Store before we begin our race.

In other news, I'd like to give briefly a shoutout and shameless plug that my racing team, Pamakid Runners Club, will be hosting for its inaugural Speaker Series!
When? Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.
Where? Sports Basement, 1590 Bryant Street (@ 15th Street), San Francisco, CA 94103
"An Olympic Experience, Beijing 2008: A Coach's Perspective"
Andy Chan, Pamakid Runners Club Board President, Head Coach track & field and cross-country at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, went to Beijing to see his former student-athlete, 1,500m Olympian runner, Shannon Rowbury, compete against the World's best. Coach Chan will share some behind the scene stories about Shannon's high school career and her Olympic journey of 2008.

We all suffer from headaches at some point, some more severe than others. My friend is hosting the Miles for Migraine 5K/10K and 2 Mile walk on October 5, 2008. Miles for Migraine is a new non-profit organization established to raise funds for migraine research and education. While migraine affects up to 15% of all women, and is the most common neurological disorder for pre-menopausal women, migraine research receives little funding from NIH and other government agencies. This organization started early in 2008 to provide another way to raise funds for migraine research while providing a healthy, fun activity for those who want to support the cause. If you cannot participate in person, please consider donating to the cause in the link provided. 5K and 10K race courses through Golden Gate Park are FAST! The 2 mile walk will be beautiful. Please join us for the event by participating or volunteering.
