If you don't have a soccer game scheduled, come join me and another 1,400+ participants in the Magnificient Mile Race this Sunday 9/18. You can register on line until Friday at http://www.magmilerace.com/ or go to Athletes Foot in Cameron Village until Saturday afternoon or register near the race starting line which is in the vicinity of Second Empire Restaurant on Hillsborough Street (where the majority of the race is run) downtown. High temperature on Sunday is supposed to be 75 degrees, perfect running weather.
CASL is a sponsor of this event that raises funds for cures for Primary Lateral Sclerosis and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Sarah Roberts Witt, a CASL parent and the dynamo behind this event, has PLS and has willed this Run/Race into a great event. Plenty of other things to do, Kids races, booths, etc. Check it out on http://www.magmilerace.com/.
One section of the event is "Beat CASL's Old Man (I resemble that remark)" and the top five females and males that beat me get an award. 140 people participated in this section of the run last year---we are hoping for more this year. $45,000 has already been raised this year which is over 90% of the goal. Fox 50 will interview me on Friday at 7:40 am about the race on the WRAL news. Let's support this great event and I'll see you on Sunday!
