November 5th & 6th

Hey Guys,

     As discussed in last week's chat, I have been asked to speak at the Obesity Help Houston Convention on November 5th & 6th. I would really like to have a great showing or representation from our group. We will be getting a coupon code for the convention and I can help arrange group hotel discounts. It would be cool to have it be a 4 day weekend or whatever is manageable, and we could mix in some training, or maybe find a local race we all could do as a group, there are a couple 5k's and a 10k in the area that weekend. Please let me know if this sounds of interest to you. I think it would be really cool to hang out and get to know everyone. For those of you who were interested in possibly doing the Rocky Raccoon 100 mile or 50 mile trail run next year, it is only 45 minutes from where the convention is, and we could maybe go run a loop early one day. Also, maybe I could find a school, or some other venues we could speak at and share our stories. Let me know if you are interested...

This is a fantastic opportunity!

Unfortunately, it's very close to my first Ironman and our finances are in bad shape right now. But that could change...

I think it sounds great. I'm not sure what my school schedule is going to be at that time, but if I can work it out ( and get the finances sorted), I'd be interested. I am pretty sure that I'll have the Friday off of school but I am not sure about the Thurs.

I have friends in Houston, so I might seriously consider making this trip!

Would love to meet other OH and OH PR folks - and go for a run!
