Updates:

• More news! Here's a link to a map of The Martha Express route.

• NEWS FLASH! Join us for a special event: "The Martha Express", 7 am,  Sept 5, Mill Creek Park (Country Club Plaza), a free 2-3 mile fun run/walk.  Martha Stewart is moving her TV show to the Hallmark Channel.  She asked women's running clubs around the country to help publicize her move by hosting a training run to show women "moving" for photos and local media.  KC Express signed up!

Our first 100 participants get free stuff from Martha: a dri-fit shirt, sweat towel, apron, wooden spoon, and goodie bag.  To reserve your spot, RSVP to kcexpresspres@gmail.com or phone 913.643.1460 with your name & t-shirt size. (Although we cannot guarantee sizes, we'll try to accommodate based on what we are given.)

We want to promote KC Express, too, for the photographers and local media. Please bring along a Martha-related item, emblazoned with KC Express name or logo, that you can carry and display while you run or walk.  Suggestions are "equipment" for cooking, gardening, crafts, or household care items.  (Be sure it is light weight since you have to carry it!)   Please contact Terry Mann if you need the Express logo printed off to slap onto your items!

This will be lots of fun-- free swag plus the chance to publicize KC Express.  RSVP today!

•  We will again have a booth at the KC Royals game & Girls Night Out, benefitting the American Heart Assn, on Sept 18.   Contact Cathy Casto to sign up to buy your ticket and volunteer to help at our booth.  We had a great time doing this last year.  Becky White is designing a new dri-fit t-shirt, given to all Express members who come out to help promote Express and women's heart health.  (You'll want this shirt!)

• Be sure to see our Facebook page for other member news.

• Congrats to members who were WIN for KC Triathlon participants: Lisa Boos, Kimberlie Clyma, Saskia Jacobse, Gwen Rico, and thank you to volunteers Mary Edwards, Trudy Nepstad, Becky White, and Terry Mann. 

• Congratulations also to Cathy Casto on her first run-shoot-run duathlon.  Good eye, Cathy!  And congrats to our President-Elect Kelly Pfannenstiel on her first marathon in Missoula, Montana.

• Are you "engaging your core" as you sit at your computer and read this?  You would be if you had attended our Aug. meeting with dynamo speaker Carol Higgerson, PT.   Thanks, Carol! We learned lots!
