June 29 - Lawrence has a new club, devoted to promoting, caring for and running on the scenic trails of Clinton Lake and the Kansas River. The Lawrence Trail Hawks officially incorporated as a Kansas not-for-profit organization May 7, with a core group of 18 dues-paying members. The group invites all runners to join them on their trail runs, which are scheduled nearly every night of the week. Gary Henry is the guiding spirit of the new group. more Correction: Results are now current for the Summer Sizzler 5K; the first set was from 2008. Former runLawrence president Don Cackler is home and doing fine - fine enough to go to Dog Days this morning! Thanks to Jay O'Neill for renewing his runLawrence membership.
June 25 - Lawrence aims for the world's largest workout on Wed, July 8. If you want to help make it as big as possible, 5:30 pm is the check-in time with the workout starting at 6 pm and lasting about 45 min. Don "Red Dog" Gardner will lead everyone for stretching, calisthenics, and a walk/run. Location: KU’s Shenk Fields, Clinton Parkway & Iowa. You will need to sign a waiver. June 24 - Great news about long-time club member Don Cackler. His doctor was able to successfully repair his damaged heart valve and did not have to replace it. Don is recovering at St. Luke's Hospital. Wife Lori reports that he is practicing "heavy breathing" and is walking down the corridors pushing a grocery cart. We suggested that he ditch the grocery cart asap as it likely is slowing him down! With expected continuing progress, Don may be home this weekend. I, for one, am very much relieved as I realize that we count on Don to do a lot of the "heavy lifting" in this club - both figuratively and literally. - Dee Boeck
