The annual Sal's Gala was held this year at the Weinpress All You Can Eat and Drink Buffet. It was impossible to give out only one award for 2009 due to the amazing accomplishments of our group.
Prizes were awarded to Joanne K for Rookie of the Year (completed her first five mile race in March and 10k race in the Marine Corp Marathon 10k race, Washington, DC in October).
Mike W., Eileen W., Pete L. and Lou K. all received honorable mention awards. The four of them finished in the top five of their respective age groups in the RROY series. Mike and Eileen also won medals at the ESG snowshoe races in February.
Runner of the Year went to Jan M., who won 2 medals at the ESG snowshoe games, completed the Walt Disney World 1/2 Ironman, the Lake Placid Ironman race in July, and topped the year off by finishing the Marine Corp Marathon in October.

Sal's Gala
The evening is a blur, but whether that is due to the Appletinis that tasted so good and soothed my throat, or the surprise honor of being chosen Sal's Runner of the Year, I'm not sure.
Our tradition of the past year's honoree selecting the current year award recipient seems to be working well. Mike #4 (really, 4 Mike's in Sal's-weird) gave out awards for most improved to Joanne and Lou K, then presented me with a nice engraved plaque with a photograph of many of our current members. I was/am genuinely touched. Thank you.
