We had a huge squad come out tonight to soak in the sunshine and get some miles in! What a nice break from all the rain weโ€™ve been having. โ˜€๏ธ There were lots of new faces and many familiar ones as well, and we are starting to feel summer in the air! ๐Ÿ๏ธ

Interested in being an athlete or guide? Reach out! We would love to have you. We meet every Wednesday night at McCabe community center. Go Achilles!

A fiesta, a fond farewell to Sara Harris as our Achilles Nashville Assistant Director (but yes, she will still come to practice on and off), and a fun night of celebration. San Antonio Taco Co. was yummy as was Julie Nidiffer vegan cake and Skye Weissend cupcakes. Katie Smith made a knock off Dollywood cinnamon bread that was just as good as Dollywood. Thanks to Sarah Roberts Hart for all her help tonight and kudos to sister Minna Singer for coming along to celebrate.
