I know that most of you have heard of the tragic story of runner Sherry Arnold from Montana who was abducted and killed in early January on her morning run.
Her family is organizing a virtual run in her memory for next Sat 2/11 at 9:00 a.m. They are encouraging running groups to get together and run at whatever pace and at whatever distance as a way to express sadness and solidarity for all runners out there. They have posted a bib for each to wear on the run and have a place for donations on their website for her daughters. For information see this link:

MRA member, Laura Carlson would like to organize as many of us who are available and interested to gather together and run in Sherry’s honor at 9 a.m this Sat (2/11) – meeting in the parking lot behind Legends at Notre Dame – we will all run together at whatever pace and whatever distance the group wants – the point is not a workout but to run together in her honor. Please let me know if you are interested – I will print out bibs for each person and will also bring along pins. We will take a picture at the start and submit it to the website.
RSVP to Laura Carlson (lcarlson@nd.edu) before Friday morning 2/10 so that she can have an accurate count for bibs & pins (She’ll also plan to bring extras in case anyone decides last minute to join up).
