Next Run Update - directions and food plan!

Howdy team!
I am so excited to report that we have exceeded our team member goal! So far, there will be 12 of us running/walking this Sunday, March 29 in honor of Big Tom!

I will be picking up everyone's packet on Friday, March 27. Since I will have them, we will need to meet before the race at Reliant Stadium. Here's the plan for race day:

7:15: Park at Reliant Stadium. Free parking will be avail until 8am. You must enter Reliant Park from Kirby at McNee through Gate 10 and park in Red Lots 2 or 4. After you park, head to the Comcast Gate to meet the team and pick up your packet. I don't think they'll have a bag drop so plan on leaving everything in your car. The Comcast Gate is on the Northeast side of the stadium and faces the corner of Kirby and McNee. Not sure how big the gate area is, but let's all try and meet towards the left side (if you're looking at the stadium) of the gate.

7:40: Head toward the starting line which is outside the Coca Cola entrance on the Northwest side.

8:00: Start running/walking!

9:00: Since we all run at different speeds we'll just meet up at the finish line. I'm not sure where to tell everyone to meet, but they typically hand out bananas. If they are, stand in front of this area and we'll try to find everyone. If you can, run with your cell phone so we can call you if we can't find you. If for some reason you can't find the group, then just go to Berryhill.

9:30ish: Meet at the Berryhill Baja Grill located at 1717 Post Oak Blvd (at San Felipe) for breakfast. We will go dutch unless that creates a problem. It's tucked away behind the California Pizza Kitchen. They serve breakfast all day! Yay!

Big Tom's favorite color was blue so please try and wear a blue shirt! Theresa and I will be making Big Tom "signs" that everyone can pin on, but feel free to make your own tribute!

Last, but not least, please email me your cell phone number so I can have it just in case I get lost! ;-p

See you Sunday!
