Items of Business!

Hey Everyone! less than a month to go! Well even less than that! only 3.5 weeks! Anyway i thought that we better get some team business taken care of... So here it is:

New runners! : Adam miller unfortunatelly has suffered some hip injury and will no longer be able to run with us, and since he missed out last year because of school, he will be one of our sleepless drivers! (This may already be old news to some) Adam's running spot has been filled by our cousin Brooke Deccio! Welcome aboard Brooke!
Ryan Cameron has also suffered an ankle injury and will also be out of the race. We are sad to see him gone because he is a fantastic runner! But he has been replaced by Jenessa and Caitlyn's friend Rogan from Wenatchee WA! Welcome Rogan.

Van Drivers: Because Shelly Miller is the "mother" of this operation, we want her to have first priority to be involved, since she hates things that start with "r,u,n" and loves things that start with "C,O,K,E" we though it best to allow her to get no sleep, (She'll be drinking all that caffeine anyway) so she will be a driver! Thanks Shelly for loving Diet Coke, and for being with us!
Again as already mentioned Adam will be a driver as well due to his injury that prevents him from running. Woot!

Team Shirts: Our shirt design is currently underway, it is going to be totally awesome, so dont worry about it. The only thing that has been asked is whether we want to do short sleeve or long sleeve shirts. The thought behind long sleeve is that we could put something down the sleeves. So if you are totally against one or the other let me know before june 1. (I am ordering the shirts on the 1st) Also The colors we have to choose from are pretty simple( the cheapest we can get them), which gives us the choice either RED or Royal BLUE. I thought RED would be cool, its a good looking red. But again if you've got some gang heritage that doesn't allow you to wear red, make it known. (June 1st!)
The shirt design is going to look like a Steve Miller Band tour shirt, so we can do a couple of things on the back: please make a comment and vote for what you want....

1: A list of the names of each of the team members (Looking like the cities of the tour)
2: A shorter list of the cities that each of us are from (again like above)
3: Epistemology = the art of running
4: You live in a world of illusion

Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
5: Team number (117)
Wasatch Back 2010
6: If you have any brilliant idea, you can add that as your vote.
PLEASE VOTE BY JUNE 1ST THAT IS NEXT TUESDAY, LESS THAN 1 WEEK!

NEW TEAM SPONSOR!!!!! : We are so grateful and absolutely thrilled to hear that Mark and Kathy Miller have generously decided to sponsor our team! This will be so wonderful for us! THANK YOU MARK AND KATHY MILLER! YOU ARE OUR HERO'S!!! MUCH THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
Be sure to say thanks over and over for what they have done for us!

FOOD: We have already mentioned food, if you want to bring some of your own things that's great! But one of the biggest problems we faced last year while running was that no-one really got anything good to eat other than pb-j and granola bars.
It is very important that we eat something GOOD! We have thought about maybe making pasta salad, or something like that, easy and good. We can also stop at a Subway or something like that and each person can get a sandwich to bring with them, but we do need to get some real stuff besides just pb-j and granola bars.
We will have water and Gatorade, cliff bars, power bars, fruit snacks, fruit... but again we need to have at least 2 good meals for each person, so that could be a subway and pasta salad. Just let us know what to get! thanks
