Cami will be at Aunties 11/06/2010 at 2:00 pm
Check out this video about her story.
Second Wind is the story of an unlikely athlete and an unlikely heroine: Cami Ostman, a woman edging toward midlife who decides to take on a challenge that stretches her way outside of her comfort zone. That challenge presents itself when an old friend suggests she go for a run to distract her from the grief of her recent divorce. Excited by the clarity of mind and breathing space running offers her, she keeps it up—albeit slowly. Soon the old friend, Bill, now a romantic interest, invites her to Prague to run a marathon. Little does either of them know that this race will be the first of many international marathons, and that it will ignite a quest to run seven marathons on seven continents.

If we weren’t already convinced that energy efficiency is the most cost effective source of new energy, we got a great overview of the facts related to energy opportunities, choices and costs at Avista’s Powering Our Future event last week.
