A Whole New World

It’s a whole new world!  The project timeline is complete, and along with it is a whole new project idea. I talked to Mrs. Zion, and we both agreed that the race at Oakbrook was too much for me to handle on my own.  As much as I wanted to have the race, it was going to be to complicated, and pretty much impossible for me to plan.  I had to let my dream of having and Oakbrook race go.  But now, instead of having my own race at Oakbrook, I am encouraging the Oakbrook family to participate in other local 5K races! Specifically, I am encouraging the Oakbrook family to participate in a race at Furman called “A Hero’s 5K”.

The Hero's 5K race is at 9AM on October 5th, and the fee to enter is only $21.50.  The race is in memory of SPC Geoffrey Whitsitt who died January 13, 2010 fighting for our country in Afghanistan.  The 5k run/walk will honor all service men and women from the Upstate and beyond who have fought, lived and died for our country.  The link to register for this race is at the bottom of this blog post.

The race is coming up in about a month, so I need to start advertising the event right now! Flyers are coming out next week around the school, so be on the look out!  I am also announcing the race to Oakbrook through the Knightly News, and at Chapel next week.  Hopefully the word will start to spread.  I have a good feeling that Oakbrook will have a huge turnout at the race!  I’ve already mentioned it to a few people, and they all seemed very interested in going.  My goal is to also get people interested in track through The Hero’s 5K race.  I know if people just give the running experience a try, they will really enjoy it.
