Registration - Check!

48 Days until the 2011 Atlanta Santa Speedo Run!

"We have to wear what?"
"So Shawn, you want to run in a 1.5 mile charity run to help send kids to camp?" Jeff asked.
"Sure, why not?  Sounds fun.  Tell me about it." I replied.
"Well, we need to raise money to help kids go to summer camp," Jeff started.

After having one of the best summers in my life working for YMCA Camp Ocoee in Tennessee, I knew that giving kids a chance to spend a week in nature learning more about themselves and making friends is a great reason to run.

"The run is in December," Jeff continued.
"Yeah, ok.  I've got plenty of cold weather running clothes."  I replied.
"And...we have to run in a speedo."

Wait, what?  I don't even wear a speedo in August...in Atlanta.  When the evening low is 98 degrees.

"Well, if it gives kids a chance to go to camp, I'm in." I replied.

Thus started the 6 weeks of speedo training and fundraising.

Ten months later, it's Santa Speedo Run prep. time again!
