Posted on August 24, 2015 | Comments Off on Around Town: School Starts in a Week

From Southern Maryland News Net:

The 2015-16 school year officially begins on Monday, Aug. 31 for students in grades kindergarten through 12. Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) expects to welcome more than 26,500 students this school year. Students enrolled in the prekindergarten and three-year-old programs start back on Tuesday, Sept.8. CCPS staff and teachers are preparing for the start of another school year and are finalizing services and programs for students and parents.

There is a lot of good information for parents on the link above.

If you need custom gear — tees, sweats, and lots more — for your school, class, or club, let me know! If you need some inspiration for designs, I have hundreds of customizable templates available at www.easyprints.com.

Team Spirit In Action

“In a way, I think this is the way sports should be…”

At a Gainesville, Texas, juvenile correction facility for felony offenders, one of the few perks, for very good behavior, is a chance to leave the prison a few times a year to play basketball. Steve Hartman reports on the surprise awaiting the Gainesville Tornadoes, who usually have no cheering fans, when they visited Vanguard College Prep in Waco.

MCM_10K_logo

In a fit of temporary insanity, I signed up for the Marine Corps 10K even before I ran my first 5K. To be eligible, I have to raise at least $500 by August 7. I am selling special tees, with all proceeds being donated to Operation Homefront. If you don’t want a tee but still want to donate to Operation Homefront, you can head directly to my fundraising page.

St Jude’s Warriors: Thanks for Donating!!

Posted on April 23, 2015 | Comments Off on St Jude’s Warriors: Thanks for Donating!!

WarriorDash_LogoWe had an absolute blast at the 2015 Warrior Dash in Budds Creek, MD.  I am really glad that I trained for it; otherwise, I don’t think I would have been able to run all the hills.  And there were a LOT of hills!

A couple Lessons Learned:

  1. Next time, we need to get there a lot earlier.  I didn’t anticipate the problems we had parking and then the long walk to registration.  We were scrambling to get to the starting line — I felt like I had already run a 5K!
  2. Getting an early run time is smart.  By the time we were leaving, it was getting hot and steamy.  I’ll bet the mud pits were pretty gross by then.
  3. Sunscreen.  ‘Nuff said.
  4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
  5. Fundraising for St. Jude’s was smart!  The private showers (while small) were wonderful.  Definitely, bring your own soap/shampoo/body wash because they don’t give you much!

Here are some pictures — I’m not sure why they didn’t have any of Adam.  And I couldn’t find the three of us posing afterwards.  🙁
