Sweet Sixteen

Inspired by the Krispy Kreme Challenge , Aimee G and lots of donut eating boasting from select TRIgirls, Maramarc Fitness hosted the Saturday Cyclist Donut Challenge. While some stopped at two or three, Liz and Patty took "post-workout" refueling to a whole new level-conceeding at SIXTEEN donuts. Each. 16 each.

Congratulations, Girls. That is quite impressive.

Monument 10K Spirit Award

Did you know that if your friends and family come to cheer on the TRIgirls and other runners, at the Monument Avenue 10K, that we could earn a donation for Safe Harbor Shelter? Up to $200! We will be competing in the Spirit Contest. We're still working on the details of the location, and will post the info as soon as we have them. In the mean time, mark your calendars (and your family's calendars) for the morning of April 5th. If your not running it, come help us cheer!

The entire Richmond community (TRIgirls, Richmond TRI Club members, teachers, bloggers, friends and friends of friends) have been so great in supporting me. I am very grateful.
