This is the Ute/Longs Ranch Road/Barr Trail/Water Pipe Bridge figure 8 run that we did two weeks ago. A description can be found on the Incline Club page and a map can be found here: http://www.skyrunner.com/maps.htm We meet for breakfast after the run:-) ************ We blitzed 3 club records last Sunday!!! 35 people and 6 dogs broke the old records of 26 people and 4 dogs. We also had 14 people come to the breakfast afterward — two showed up right when the rest of us were finishing:-( They were late because they were on time — at the wrong restaurant holding spots for the 12 people who were at the correct restaurant stuffing their faces:-) oooops!!!! ************ At breakfast Glenn A said the Broncos were going to win. I think he should stick to being a pool shark:-) ************ This from last year: July 6, 1998 Incline V2 #14, LR #34 ...” Congrats to Thom S who now has a new baby boy to teach how to run up the Incline:-) ...” Well for those that don’t know things went downhill rather fast for Thom’s wife about 2 weeks later and she has just recently returned home from the hospital. She had a brain aneurysm and then 2 strokes that to be quite frank nearly killed her. Here is an update passed on from Pat Lockhart: ########### Start letter from Pat Benita was released from the hospital on Saturday, December 5th. The ambulance and the change of environment were scary for her, but she is adjusting. Benita’s sister, Sylvia, and her 2 children (4 and 5) have moved from Cheyenne and is living with Thom and taking care of Benita, along with home health care persons, who show on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Benita is moving about... as Thom says “she is walking with a purpose.” She still needs assistance, but she is up and going and NOT at a snail’s pace. Thom said that it almost takes 2 people to take care of her. So what can we do? Thom said that on the days that there is extra help at the house, they do the laundry and fix meals. On the weekend, they fend for themselves. He said that if there were people out there that wanted to help they could use already prepared meals on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I said that I think that I can do that. I figured that if we were able to get 20 people, to fix a good meal once a month, that we could get him pretty well covered. I am asking if any of you can assist, please let me know and I have a master calendar and hypothetically, you would fix a meal and deliver it to Thom on say the 2nd Saturday of each month, or on the 4th Monday of each month. The count for a meal — 2 adults, 4 kids and Josh (5 mos). Can you help? Also, I will be helping by doing their laundry every other Saturday. Is there anyone who would like to “halfsies” with me or pick up the other Saturday. There are still going to be a lot of challenges for everyone, but maybe we can make the burden just a little less. Happy Holidays and thank you End letter from Pat ########### Pat would like to get 3 month commitments for her calendar so that works out to 3 meals from each person. This would start the 1st Saturday in January because Thom’s church is helping through the holidays. If you feel you would want to do this please let Pat know what day you prefer and what kind of meal you would prepare so that she can avoid a lot of the same meals on consecutive days. Contact Pat via e-mail at (e-mail address removed for www posting). ************ Hope to see you all Saturday AND Sunday:-) Go out hard, when it hurts speed up...
