I am pleased to announce the inaugural New England Code Camp Nerds on the Run Saturday lunchtime run! All Code Camp attendees are welcome to participate in a relaxing and invigorating 3 to 5 mile run from the Microsoft Waltham office during the Saturday lunchtime break. The run will take between 30 to 45 minutes and we'll still have enough time for pizza before the afternoon sessions start.
The exact meeting time will be determined when the final schedule is available. We'll meet in running gear by the Microsoft reception area near the elevator on the 6th floor, and lock our laptops and other gear in our cars on the way out.
The full title of this soon-to-be New England Code Camp Tradition is "The Jason Haley Memorial Nerds on the Run on a Plane." We're not using the literal definition of "Memorial," of course, but all of us in the New England Nerd Community are still dealing with the absence of the Geek Godfather of Beantown after he and his lovely wife Susan moved to Seattle earlier this year.
The idea for Nerds on the Run wasn't mine, it was actually fellow New England Nerd and DotNetNuke Stud Jim Bonnie who proposed getting together for a pre-session AM run. We both quickly realized that an early morning run was a bad idea on several levels, so we came up with a lunchtime run. And a New England Code Camp Tradition was born.
Hope to see you there!
