Along with sending me cool photos from the meet, Kathy Gould (Kelley's mom) asked me to plug a new race that the Carmel Running Club is putting on in October.
The inaugural 5K in Support of Jimmy B & LIFSHD will be held on Oct. 10 (10.10.10!) at Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel. It is a cross-country style race, with "some uneven grounds with some rocky terrain," according to the application. There is also a walk and a kids' fun run. It will be chip-timed and it extremely well organized by the Carmel Running Club. Sounds great!
The proceeds of the race will benefit a good friend of the Goulds' 19-year-old son, who is battling a genetic form of muscular dystrophy called FSHD. Jimmy B's parents are both Marist alums, as are the Goulds!
While our athletes cannot compete in this race as per NCAA rules, it is my hope that many of us will get out to Carmel to support this effort. I will not be there as I have already signed up for a marathon in Albany on 10.10.10 (the goal, of course, being to try and run 10:10 pace on 10.10.10), but it is my hope that this blog post will help the race cause -- even if just a little bit.
You can register for the event online at getmeregistered.com. If you want a copy of the race application, you can email me at runhed246@hotmail.com and I'll forward it to you.
