I knew Christine personally though I haven't seen her in a while. Also had a smile on her face and though she wasn't the fastest swimmer/biker/runner, few worked harder. I will be at the race on Friday.

Hello Gang the RD for the Hit the Trails race. I have been busy preparing my Pre-Registration list. Overwhelmed by your contribution to this race. Let me set your minds at ease. I ran track workouts with Christine as I called her the freight train since she breathed kind of loud. I know Tom and the boys well and Christine joined in many races with the club. She was always trying to break 30 min in her 5K we would cheer in "sign" when she came in. She has shopped at my running shop many times, always looking for that perfect shoe to break 30 minutes. We would meet at a lot of races, she was fun, came to our picnic etc. I will miss her.

I put on three CC races a year I coach at a local HS and love CC. We have little overhead, this is a pure CC race, so no Police involved, we give all the money to Charity. Get support from local business and use my vendors also for doorprizes. Our first race was for the Girl Scouts, second was to be the charity of our choice "now Christine" , 3rd will be for our High School scholarship. The way we're set-up $12.00 for us and $3.00 to Active. I put out a video email to my 500+ email list spoke to many people this will be a big race and ALL the proceeds will go to her family. We'll release red/white balloons and have a moment of silence. I know Christine will love this, she loved the races I will post some photos on my website after the race and let you know the approximate amount, how eveything went etc. OK now back to my pre-registration..... God Bless.

I met Christine in person at Ironman Florida in 2006. I think her and Kathy G probably covered more miles then the competitors that day. They were all over the course urging us on. The BT cheering section has been one of the enduring memories of that day and Christine was a big part of that. I have also always enjoyed her race reports, what a wonderful spirit.

The Manatees, Ken, Marcy, and Sara (our doghter) are registered and have the lower alabama portion of the course marked and ready for our Friday run.

Digger - thanks for sharing Steve's video email, and Steve, thanks for all you guys are doing to honor Christine and help her family.

I'll be running here in Orlando, and I too have a dream of a sub 30 5K, but doubt I'll hit that on Friday. I'll keep it as my dream, tho', because 'Lucy' was always there for me to share in my struggles as a mom trying to be a triathlete. If she can pursue her dream with such grace, I can do the same in her memory.

Gotta go make my tshirt today! Where are we sending pics of our virtual 5k selves?

thanks for sharing this with us.  Maybe a call to the local media is in order as well? 

Wishing you a good experience and safe travels Friday and always.

Can't run tomorrow night, but I ran 6.5 today... 3.1 in honor of Lucy.

I wish I had known her.  She sounded like a marveleous person to have in one's life.  I am sorry that I did not know she was sick, I had no idea and wish I could have given her a prayer or two   It's so sad that she is gone... I hope she is in a better place.  Rest in peace Lucy...

Ok, I know I'm running behind as the active rego has already closed, and I don't have Paypal, someone mentioned a snail mail signup...I know my money would get there late, but does anyone know that address to send that to?  Or an address I can send the entry fee to as an anonymous donation. Thanks
