Today Marcie and I walked around the track and field area, and checked out the potential course that could go along the back of the school...

 I decided it would be better to have everything more condensed, simply because I have never hosted an event before, namely a 5k, and neither has she. We want to be able to set up, clean up, and run the event smoothly with as little bumps along the way as possible. That said, I decided that although some people might find it repetitive or potentially a little boring, the track would be a better place for the run, along with two boynton miles.

The upside about the track, is everything is very reachable, meaning our water stations will all be accessible, and we wont have to drag tables out to that many far off locations - Just the half mile mark on the boynton course, which is at the crosswalk/streetlight post at the Boynton parking lot.

We ran into Mr. Bryant while we were out at the track, who I had just been looking for! I asked him about the sound system, and if we could use the speakers for music, and announcements. He said he needs to get back to me, (he said that a long time ago) and that I should come by his office next week. Well next week is cutting it kind of short... as the race is next Sunday. Ill try and hunt him down tomorrow just to get things going faster, though he might not know the info by then. I'm going to try and find Mrs. Bryant in the morning too, and ask if she knows, because she does the announcements for soccer games sometimes apparently.

Besides that, we planned out where my tables would go. Registration will be right at the entrance to the track, where there will be posters and signs.
               - I've been trying to reach the tech department to let me print on their huge printer. If I cant i'll try the main office, and if they say no I'll go to Kinkos on Saturday.

Anyways, once people are registered they will walk into the track and right before they enter the turf, there will be a food table which will have baked goods for sale, and pizza (starting at 11), and a donation jar (posted the picture last blog). Then as runners walk onto the turf, they can get their Tshirts.

I NEED TO FIND MR BERNSTEIN to ask about a gun for start of the race!! and the cards!! and timing!! I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIM but these are VERY important!!!

I also need to hear back from Bangs if they can come at 10 instead of 11 (just nice to have them there a little earlier)

On Saturday, (I'll be out of town tomorrow for a concert in Buffalo,) I'll go to Michaels and get safety pins, sharpies, scissors, tape, pens, cups, etc.

Sunday morning I'll need to be there around 730, mr bryant will tell me where I can go to get all my stuff when I get there. Hopefully my volunteers will get there soon after, and I am thinking about collecting baked goods the day before.
