the race was a huge success!! 88 people turned out for our first Go, Jump in the Lake event (52 for the 5K and 26 for the Fun Run/Walk.) and about 20 of them really DID jump in the lake afterwards. FUN!!
how sad am i that i wasn't among them!!
why, you may ask. well, it proved to be very tricky to fulfill my "day-of" responsibilities as race director AND be serious about running it. oh, and it doesn't help that i haven't run a step since mid-july...
the great news? thanks to our wonderful sponsors, all of the registration fees can be considered pure profit for the Muse Park Playground project.
other great news?? lots of compliments (and there were some serious runners out!) for a first ever event, i am so pleased with how organized and detailed we were able to be.
and even better news?? i am soooooo ready to start running again!!

Congratulations Lelly!!! I am so happy that this first (of many) races went off so well. Woohoo!
WHAT? How did I miss the link the first time I read your spt post? This is so great, Lelly! Amazing.
p.s. this is the coolest ever set-up for a blog. Love the number titles!
so proud of you, friend. you are amazing, amazing, amazing.
Congrats on your run. Great turn out! Maybe next year you'll even be able to run it... (probably not cause that's just usually the way it works when you're the one putting it on eh!)
I've been thinking about trying to do one here in our town to raise money for a much needed public pool. Would you say it was more work than it was worth?
lelly-
I just want you to know that you rock! I finally am able to get back to blogging and I peruse the SPT's and there is this link.
You happen to be one of this months challenges for me- I have been walking but am now inspired to start that work up to running!
Thanks so much,
Sandi B.
Congratulations on the success of your event! It's always nice when your time and effort pays off better than you imagined.

I thought this article was funny and at the same time, somewhat useful. Thought of you and your race director self!
