Sorry for the second email but I forgot about the Crazy Run this Sunday as well as another nighttime romp through Bird Hills. New Items in red.
I hope that this email finds each of you in good health and spirits. Please let me know of any events I may have missed. Also let me know if you have suggestions/complaints, comments.
Good luck to all of you who are heading to Omer for the Witchy Wolf run this weekend! It looks like you will be greeted with perfect weather - temperatures at the start should be right around 9F. :-) Enjoy!

If you are like me the only thing you stretch is the truth every now and then. For those of you thinking about adding more stretching into your routine Earl Wenk from Arbor Wellness has posted a rather comprehensive outline of stretching for runners. The stretches he demonstrates are what is known as Active Isolated Stretching or AIS. If you are interested you can download the brochure here: http://www.arborwellness.com/Stretching_for_Runners.pdf This will open up a 17 page pdf file which you can print and begin to incorporate into your workouts. If people are interested Earl is planning on putting together a class/demonstration of the technique. I will let you know when he sets the time/place/date.
