First Annual FD6K Update

Posted on: January 28th, 2010 by Drew Gonick | 2 Comments

A message from Mahalia Kennedy, Store Manager of Half-moon Outfitters:

Hey Folks!

We know many of you are wondering about the weather this Saturday and whether or not we plan to hold the race.  Looks like we are in for a 90% chance of rain/freezing rain and we think that Clint Eastwood would want each of you to bundle up, strap on your running shoes and show us what you are made of! You can’t win if you don’t show and we have some awesome prizes (Montrail running shoes, Native sunglasses, Mountain Khakis, Camelbaks, Osprey packs).  Whole Foods is donating post race grub and we don’t want to have to eat it all by ourselves.

If you need inspiration or motivation to bring the heat on Saturday morning, let one of these quotes from our Fearless Leader, Clint Eastwood guide you.

“I don’t believe in pessimism.  If something doesn’t come up the way you want, forge ahead.  If you think it’s going to rain, it will.”

“If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.”

“Go ahead, make my day.”

“Do you feel lucky punk? Well, do you?”

See you Saturday morning!

synterravolunteers2“Lake Conestee Nature Park has been one of Greenville’s environmental success stories for many years now, mostly because of a partnership between local activists and an increasingly aware business community.

A facile and educated business community, one that has seen the dollar value of a clean environment, coupled with sweat equity put in by volunteers who spend lots of hours digging and scraping; sawing and nailing; pushing and cajoling- get things done.

Sometimes, you get the best of both, like the 33 volunteers from Synterra Corp. who donated a day of blisters to making the park a little better for visitors on a recent Saturday.
