We will meet at the Argo Canoe
Livery<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1055+Long...>on
Saturday October 31. Run starts at 6:45 pm. (sunset is 6:29/civil
twilight ends at 6:59 pm). The course will be marked and will be between 5
and 6 miles. Bring your headlamps/flashlights. If you have participated in
previous years you will know that this us a fun/casual run followed by a
gathering for food and beverages at a nearby residence.
**If you plan to attend please send me a message letting me know you will be
there. We will meet to celebrate my birthday at a friends home for some
chili and bread and possibly a bottle or two of bubbly. I hope that you will
join us and help me celebrate another year of living. Bring you own beer or
drink some bad beer that we have left over from a previous party.*

You may have heard of the men who stare at
goats<http://www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com/>(soon to be a major
motion picture) - Have you heard about the men (and
women) who run with the head goat? If you are interested in joining the Head
Goat (alias Randy Step) for some midweek trail running he will be running at
*Island Lake from Spring Mill Pond on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm*. Yes, he knows
that is not the trail head. Yes, he knows 5:30 is early. But as the saying
goes if you want to run with the goats you have to run when the goats run (I
think that's how the saying goes).
