Savoy Orchard Days 5K

Posted on September 25, 2011 by Mica

Last weekend was the Savoy Orchard Days 5K race. Having just moved down to Savoy over the summer, it seemed as though the boyfriend and I had a civic duty to participate in this event.

2011 River to River Relay: A letter to my teammates

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Mica

Last September, Robin invited me and the boyfriend to be part of the River-to-River relay (RRR) team that she and Michael were forming with other store employees.

In fact, I wasn’t even sure what the two titular rivers were…(Turns out, it was the Mississippi to the Ohio.)

It is difficult to write a recap for a race that lasted ten hours and an event that encompassed 24+. Thus, in the interest of brevity, I will compose this blog post as a letter to my teammates.

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Mica
