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!

Team BAD FROG Website Is Live!!

God is good, all the time!! All the time, God is good!! Amen.

Roughly a year an a half after we were inspired by the Holy Spirit to start this athletic ministry of multi-sport and endurance athletes, we have grown in numbers and inspiration. The official Team Bad Frog website is officially up and running!!

Chris has worked tirelessly in the evenings over the last week to put the whole thing together, and it looks great! There are pages that list all of our current training activities, races, race results, even a photo gallery and a page for members to share their race experiences.

Please take a look at the website at http://www.teambadfrog.org/ and tell us what you think. We will be continually updating and revising the site, so we would encourage any and all imput and feedback you might have. While we're at it, if you have anything that you would like to contribute to the website you can submit it to either anngunn@bellsouth.net or teambadfrog@teambadfrog.org.

A few other business notes, we will be having our next organizational meeting on Thursday, February 12th @ 7:30 pm in the Youth Building Coffee House at First Presbyterian Church, NPB. We will be discussing upcoming races, specifically commitments (spiritually, monitarily and physically) to putting our relay team together for the 3rd Annual Sunrise 2 Sunset Relay across Florida. We will hopefully have our running singlets in for distribution by then.

Finally, we want to thank our sponsors First Presbyterian Church, Medtronic and Fleet Feet Sports Stuart for their generosity and willingness to help us in fulfilling our mission to glorify God through our racing, fellowship and outreach.
