We did it! Join us for the 2010 S2S Relay Across Florida

--> So, we went ahead and pulled the trigger on registering Team BAD FROG for the 2010 Sunset 2 Sunrise Relay to take place March 26-27, from Ft. Myers to Jensen Beach, FL!

Now we have a few details to take care of.  For all members who may be interested in participating in this incredible event, we need each runner to complete a team member registration form.  The link for this form is http://www.sunset2sunriserelay.com/team-member-registration-form/

Since we decided to register so early we have saved as a team between $180-$360.  So individual cost to each team member is only $65, as opposed to $80 (regular) and $95 (late)!

We will also need two (2) course volunteers.  If you are interested in being a part of this event along with our team but don’t want to run or drive an RV or Van for 34+/- hours, you can join us as a course volunteer.  More information about volunteering can be found at www.sunset2sunriserelay.com/volunteers

Further information will be coming as we receive it, but in the meantime if you would like to learn more about this event click here www.sunset2sunriserelay.com

We will be conducting our monthly business meeting on Thursday, November 26^th,  after the Run 4 the Pies (around 9:30 am) at Chris and Ann’s house.  We will be having breakfast at this time.  If you plan on joining us, please let us know what you will be bringing.

Meeting minutes and agenda to follow.

News and Information

Here are a few exciting bits of information:

• The 9th Annual Run 4 the Pies 4 mile road race is coming up next Thursday, Thanksgiving morning in Tequesta, and for the past 2 years Team BAD FROG has had a contingent of racers and supporters at this event. If you are interested in running with us, we would encourage you to sign up soon as we believe that online registration will be closing soon because they may be near capacity. See the link below.

• We will also be having breakfast as a group again at our house after the race. If you are interested, get with either Chris or Ann about what to bring.

• We decided that we will also conduct our monthly business meeting at breakfast since most will be there. Agenda to follow.

• Lastly, but definitely not least, we are finally unveiling the new Team BAD FROG website for all to see. Keep in mind that this is a “Work IN Progress” subject to change daily. We desperately want constructive feedback so that we can continually work to make this a site that truly glorifies God and attracts athletes and supporters to our mission for Christ. To that end please email us after you have had a chance to look it over with comments, suggestions, corrections, things to add etc. PLEASE NOTE: There are still several pages “Under Construction” and some “Missing Pages”. We are also looking for personal testimonies to fill up our “Our Team” pages. There is also a link to our new Member Forum which I sent an email invitation out about last week. This will be fun once we get going with it!

Racing to win for Him!

Thanksgiving is approaching and Publix will be baking pies again this year. You remember what it was like when you showed up at Grandma's house last year without a pie? Don't let it happen again this year...

Visit www.palmbeachroadrunners.com/pies.html for all the details.

The 4 mile race and Kids 100 Yard Dash takes place in Tequesta. We've partnered up with The Church of the Good Shepherd again this year to collect food for those in need. Last year we collected a ton of food. Literally, 1 ton. This year's goal is 2 tons!

First 750 finishers get an apple pie from Publix. First 1200 to register get a T-shirt!
