Hi Bill!

How do you feel the day after? We had a great run yesterday - the entire event went really well. Thanks so much for your phone call, too -- I really appreciated hearing from you.

About 15 runners participated, and we had 3 wonderful volunteers help out at the start/finish and two water stops. We had only great feedback -- everyone loved the route, loved the experience, and would do it again. We netted about $335 for our charities to boot! The charities we raised money for are Downtown Food Bank (associated with Pike Place Market Foundation) and Inner City Outings (part of Sierra Club Foundation).

We ran through several city parks, along the water front, and it was quite a windy day, too! We had sustained winds probably around 20 mph, with some huge gusts, including right at the finish. I brought bananas, and one of the runners (who is on Team Luna Chix) donated mini Luna bars and other Luna products.

Our water stops had bottles of water that the runners left with the volunteers -- so there was no waste of cups. Before we ran, everyone left bottles with the volunteers, and the water was waiting for them at the two stops.

I'll attach some photos. I'll send a second email with our route map.

Thanks again for the motivation to get us to do a really fun event!
