I love pre-race day. I get wicked excited. All my teammates have an extra burst of energy (maybe because we didn’t run as much as we normally do). I’m constantly thinking about strategy and times. But the best part is, the most important thing to do is nothing. Rest, recover, relax. I’m ready to get back into the hard work tomorrow morning but in order to do that, rest is key. An easy 3.5 mile run this morning, Egoscue in the afternoon, 4.5 at practice with strides. Feeling good for tomorrow’s 5k.

In other news, a good friend of mine, Maxim Willwerth, helped organized an event at Plymouth State College in New Hampshire. The Plymouth St Hockey Team will honor local Military members and their families at Salute The Troops Night tomorrow, December 10th at 6:00 P.M. They will host the Fitchburg State Falcons. The Panthers will be raffling off game worn camouflage jerseys, with all the proceeds benefitting The Scott Milley Foundation. The foundation is set up to help the families of army ranger graduates afford accommodations to attend their son or daughter’s graduation. As well,the foundation provides a scholarship to Lincoln-Sudbury High School for one male and one female. It also assists families in the area that have lost a loved one in battle. If you happen to be in the area, come out and support a great cause. If you want to make a donation go to this link (http://www.facebook.com/events/136785069763816/) for more info.

The Hockey game will welcome the family of Lieutenant Scott Francis
Milley and the family of Captain Doug Dicenzo.

Scott Milley, a Lieutenant with the Army’s 10th Mountain Division was
killed in Combat last November. Scott is the younger brother of 4-year Panther defenseman, Steven Milley of Sudbury, MA. Scott was
the captain of his High School varsity team at Lincoln-Sudbury high
in Massachusetts and had a passion for hockey matched only by his
passion for his country.

Joining Steve is the family of Captain Doug DiCenzo, Cathy Crane and
Mark Burzynski. Doug, a Plymouth native, was company commander
for C Company in the 1st Armored Division 2nd Brigade; he was killed in
combat in 2006. In 2008, the Holderness Bridge was dedicated to Doug
for his commitment to this Country.

Definitely right up We Are One 365’s alley. Have an awesome start to your weekend everyone!
