I was an acquaintance of Sheryl Maahs and also of one of the K-State runners. It had rained before that meet, and after the race, the runners all had mud splattered up their backs. I remember watching the Iowa State womens' team after the race posing for a picture, lined up looking back over their shoulders to show the mud. I've kicked myself ever since for just watching and not also taking that picture - it was a classic moment forever burned in my mind.<br /><br />I watched you race quite a number of times at various events during your ISU career, and it's great to see that you are still enjoying running and that your children are also (at least at the time this blog was originally posted) enjoying running.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Jeff Martin<br />Native Iowan, former ISU student<br />Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, JapanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-29607279346962651562011-06-30T15:41:01.085-05:002011-06-30T15:41:01.085-05:00Hi, Bonnie.

I went to ISU with you and lived in the Maple dorms. I remember you convinced me in the summer of '87 to go on twice daily runs with a group of girls attending a summer running camp. I could barely keep up! We ate together at the Towers and even got yogurt at TCBY one time. You inspired me to keep running! Years later, I would run my first marathon in 1997 and again in 1998.I still love running and every once in awhile think of you and your fallen ISU teammates, especially this time of the year. I'm glad to see you're doing so well! God bless!

The running club is for kids in kindergarten through 8th grade and is a five week program that starts in late July. We do a group warm-up and light stretching. Then we divide the children up into groups and do age appropriate running activities with them. These activities may include a short trail run, running games, relays, obstacle course, mini hurdles, high jump, etc. The emphasis is having fun while you exercise. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm not aware of a running club for teenagers other than your local high school cross country and track programs. You may want to check with a neighborhood YMCA or health club to see if they offer such a program.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Here is the Minnetonka Community Education <A HREF="http://minnetonka.registryinsight.com/" REL="nofollow">website</A>.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-29854492938911753632008-11-06T15:22:00.000-06:002008-11-06T15:22:00.000-06:00How can we find out more about the running club? ...How can we find out more about the running club?
