Doug was very kind to set up a half-marathon for us this past weekend. We invited many to join with us, and we had a great turn out! Here was part of his announcement:
We are making final preparations for the first, possibly annual, Super-Duper-Cooper-Looper-Half Marathon on June 6, 2009 at 7:00am. Yes, 13.1 miles of pure fun and joy (well, it can be). The course is set to run on flat, paved roads going through beautiful, Willamette Valley farmland in the Dever-Conner area of Northeast Albany. The race will start and end at the Burton’s home. Anyone of any age, that thinks that they could finish the course is invited to participate. Running, jogging, walking, biking, blading, crawling (bring knee pads if you are going to do that), are all permitted this year. If for some reason someone is not able to finish the course we will arrange for a ride to the finish line. Aid stations will be at miles 2, 4, 6, 9, and 11 with bananas and orange slices at the mile 6 station and bathrooms at miles 2, 4(?), 9, and 11. At the end of the race, at the finish line we will also have some drinks with some light foods and snacks.

That is so cool! I really hope you do it next year too! I would like to join you. Let us know as soon as you get it on the calendar so we can too! Good job everybody!!!
Next year's half marathon will be June 12th (2010). We'll send out info as it gets closer, but anyone who wants to join us is welcome!
I want to do this with you guys next year! It looks like it was so much fun and the comments I heard about it were very positive. It's so awesome that you held this SDCL half-marathon and I hope you have a great turn-out next year, too!
I'll better get my rear-in-gear and start training for it!
