Meet Shane Countryman, my Personal Fitness Guru

AoP vs. The Great Race 2010 - Our Teams for the Race
Today is Friday, August 6th. 2 Days until Race day. It's been a helluva ride so far. AoP will be putting two teams into the race. Team McKinley (tag# 550) consists of Amy, Kathy L*, and Tara W*. Team Everest (tag# 551) is Steph, Drew, and Jason. Hoyt unfortunately is still rehabbing from a really nasty looking leg injury, so he's out for this year.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Kathy L and Tara W as members of the AoP Auxiliary. They're taking up spots for us so that we can have our two full teams.
