Great Times For the Kids

Oh hey there...thanks for coming back to check out the progress of Team Dick-Man.  There is so much going on with the team it is hard to keep track of it all.  We cannot thank you enough for coming to the Baseball Tavern on January 28th to help us get closer to our fundraising goal and closer to the finish line on Boylston!  We raised close to $3000 with your help and with help from a number of great local and regional donations.  We also received a couple timely donations from James and Sarah (Celtics Tickets) and Paul and Sue Cronin (Red Sox Tickets).  Without their help and yours we could not have had the same unforgettable time and gotten such a terrific turnout.

In the time since the party we have been working hard with our fellow Bay State Team members running intervals on the Heartbreak Hills every Tuesday night.  The sprints have been paying off and we are getting much stronger and our recovery times are noticeably shorter after each workout.  On the weekends we are getting to a long run with the same group heading out from the Marriot in the Back Bay and extending our loop farther and farther out each week.  Roughly two more months before the showdown. 

And not too long from now we will have a new Team Dick-Man fan and another potential Bay State Gamer in the making.  Estimated arrival is around February 20th.  I cannot wait to meet our new fan.  We will surely need their support come April 16th!
