Dec 19 2011 Route
With 2012 coming up, adidas is moving in a new direction. This new direction will not include Urban Run. So with that said, these are our final runs for the year and with adidas. We encourage everyone who have participated with Urban Run to come out for the last 2 runs. You can run, walk, or hang around and share your stories. Many of our runners have agreed to having a farewell potluck luck party on the last run on December 26 (Monday) and everyone is welcome to join. We are very grateful for everyone's participation past and present and we're looking forward to seeing all of you.
With the holidays coming up, here's a little holiday cheer for you...
(read it like "Twas the night before Christmas")
Twas the Monday before Christmas, when all through adidas
runners one by one were gathering without a fuss.
Shoe strings were tied by runners with care,
in hopes that Warren or Raymond soon would be there.
The runners came and "sign in" we said,
checking out the route and keeping it in their heads.
As runners leave and some would stay,
it was a matter of time before they're on their way.
As the runners run happy and glee,
hoping the weather is fair and something to see.
The runners would run up and down,
throughout the east side of the city and parts of downtown.
Some would run solo, some in a group,
running all together hoping not to feel poop.
Some would run fast and some would go,
as long as they finish, they all deserve a medal of GOLD.
Runners would be back stretching and sweaty,
in hopes that the refreshments are out and ready.
With water or Gatorade in hand,
the runners are feeling good about the route they ran.
As they snack on fruits and grain,
Warren and Raymond are glad none of them are in pain.
The runners are happy as they would,
being at adidas every Monday night they really should.
Some of the runners stand and talk,
others are gathering their stuff and getting ready for their walk.
With the runners leaving in sight,
Warren and Raymond wish them a Merry Christmas and
to all a good night.
In terms of 2012, we're hoping to continue Monday night runs elsewhere. We're working on it and we'll keep you updated on this blog. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to share it with us.
