Team Hammock is entering the homestretch of its training programs. Our nine runners and walkers are ready for April 26, and sharing their training successes, and setbacks. Our runners are up in the double digit range on their long runs.

Rex can often be seen on mornings at the entrance to Percy Warner Park carrying a section of telephone pole up the steps to the road.

My own training is going OK (I've had better years of running training) but I'm hopeful that my summer buzz cut provides me the aerodynamic assistance I'll need a month from now.

We have unveiled our plans to use this experience to give back to a couple of charities that we are involved with as a company, and as individuals. We are offering you a way to join our team if you'd like, and even get one of those super cool technologically advanced shirts you can use to run in, or else, just look sporty.

Join our team and run with our uniform for the race, or just join us in spirit and make a donation. We'll make the donation on your behalf and power it up by matching dollars. If you want to spectate, I'll share details of where we'll be on race day with food, drinks and fun, next week.
