GuildQuality Member Services Team Gobbles up the Competition
In the wee hours of Thanksgiving morning, the GuildQuality Member Services team- Laura Flowerree, Jon Atteberry, and Erin Rosintoski- were poised ready to put months (or in some cases weeks) of training and preparation to use for the annual Atlanta Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon.
There had been nary a raindrop in sight for months in Atlanta, and the weatherman had been predicting rain for the holiday morning- but what were the chances of that being true? Unfortunately for us and the other 7,500 or so runners, the weatherman was right. The race began at 7:00 and the heavens opened about 7:02. Cellphones and iPods beware, the rain was showing no signs of slowing. With 13 long miles still to go and the rain pouring down, we thought about the Engineering and Sales teams who were chickens to our challenge of a departmental duel…who were the smart ones now!? But on we ran…
Despite all that nature handed us, we all made it to the finish, wrung out our clothes, and helped ourselves to seconds and thirds at Thanksgiving dinner.
Well done guys! Talk about team spirit. Extra congratulations go to Laura for completing her first marathon a couple weeks before Thanksgiving, Jon for getting engaged, and Erin for introducing Jon to his betrothed!
