Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Corporate Team

As has been the case every year since 2003, I plan to register a UnitedHealth Group team into the 2007 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Corporate Team Challenge. The marathon takes place on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007. Please know that registering this team is about promoting health and fitness, and fostering a UHG running community. We welcome marathoners of all speeds, and don’t register the team with an expectation of winning the Corporate Team Challenge.

To be part of our team, you need to: 1) be individually registered for the marathon, and 2) let Mike Seaton know that you’d like to be added to our team roster. In past years, we’ve scheduled team lunches to get to know each other and discuss our marathon preparation. We could also schedule some group runs if we have enough interest. We’re looking into the possibility of making team running shirts available. On race day, we try to meet before the race for a group picture, and after the race (everybody runs the marathon at their own pace) to share congratulations.

Please contact Mike Seaton (michael_p_seaton@uhc.com) if you’re interested in being part of the team.

Lake Harriet Run on 7/25

We have a 3-6 mile run at Lake Harriet scheduled for tonight at 5:30. It's very hot outside, but I'd still like to keep our scheduled run if anybody would like to meet.

If you want to run tonight, please let me know - either with a comment posted here, or by emailing me at michael_p_seaton@uhc.com. If nobody responds, I'll cancel the planned run.

Hi Everyone -
I am now going to be out of town on July 23rd/24th, therefore not able to lead the group run at Medicine Lake on Monday the 23rd. If you're interested/able to fill in for me, please send a post through this site to let me know.

Please watch this blog for information regarding cancelled runs, runs added to the calendar, impromptu runs and interest in upcoming races.
