So it appears that the first installment in Mike Portnoy's A.A. Saga will be blaring in my ears over the first two miles. Bret and I have been doing some nice easy runs this week, but it still hasn't set in that our first race is only four days away.
We'd like to welcome Glenn to our group of runners for the race. Early registration has passed, but you can still register on the day of the race.
Remember to donate soon, and send me an e-mail after you have donated. Get your playlists ready for the race!
Here is my finalized list...
Pre-race:
Tool - "Lateralus"
Opeth - "Windowpane"
3 - "Amaze Disgrace"
Race:
Dream Theater - "The Glass Prison"
Dream Theater - "Metropolis" (Live from Score)
Post-race:
Rush - "One Little Victory"
Metallica - "One"
See you on the trails (very soon)!

The Countdown Has Begun!
Next Race: July 4, 2008 - Charleston, S.C.
Race Length: 5K
Donation Deadline: July 18, 2008
Target/Current: $5,000/$245
We are down to single digits in counting down the days, and I am getting so excited about the race. It sounds like we might have one new member joining the \m/ madness - the more headbangers, the better.
A couple of things for my runners and donators...
First, if you are running, this is a heads up that the deadline for early registration is on Friday. If you need help registering, please just let me know. You will still be able to register the day of the race, but it is five dollars more.
Second, I know that the deadline for donating is July 18, but the sooner you get those donations in, the better. It will help me with organization so that I can efficiently communicate our final donation number to all those who participated. We need more money!
And remember the key step to donating...you must e-mail me when you donate. If you do not send me this e-mail letting me know the amount that you donated, I cannot add your donation to the total.
See you on the trails!

Welcome to the Coalition!
Next Race: July 4, 2008 - Charleston, S.C.
Race Length: 5K
Donation Deadline: July 18, 2008
It is so exciting to make my first post to this blog - the place where you can always stay up to date on happenings with the coalition. We are less than a month away from our first race, and the anticipation is killing me. I have been working on this idea for months now, and seeing it come to fruition is going to be so rewarding.
As most of you know, we are trying to raise $5,000 for this first race - an ambitious goal, I know. However, I really believe we have enough support to be able to reach that lofty number. Besides, we are only going to raise that number in the future!
I have updated the column on the right-hand side with information on how the coalition developed, and I have also given you the chance to help me design my playlist for the race. Vote in the poll!
I have also purchased the rights to heavymetalrunners.com, but there is nothing there yet. It may be the second race before that site is developed.
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to let me know. Just send me an e-mail
at HeavyMetalRunners at gmail dot com.
See you on the trails!
