Jack LaLanne Day featured on Examiner.com

Mark Davis, who pulled of the X-BigMan feat of strength worthy of Team LaLanne recognition, posted an article mentioning my Jack LaLanne Day plans on the SF Examiner.com website:

• Jack LaLanne still going strong at 95 (25 Sep 2009)
• First annual Jack LaLanne day a success (6 Oct 2009)

All plans are go for my group feat of strength activity described on JLLDay.org. The forecast says SF will have a high of 84. So perhaps I'll have a few takers to join me in the post-ride dip in the Bay?

See you at 9am sharp tomorrow (9/26) on the Berkeley pedestrian I-80 bridge!

Jack LaLanne Day plans

Launched new site describing the proposal to designate September 26 as Jack LaLanne Day: JLLDay.org. Included details on how to participate and a description of the planned group feat of strength activity in the San Francisco Bay area. All willing and able bodies are welcome to join in the fun!

Also tightened up the text at TeamLaLanne.org, putting in a hook into the healthcare reform ruckus.

Jack LaLanne turns 95 on 26 September 2009

TeamHuman.org is planning a celebration for Jack LaLanne on his 95th birthday. See TeamLaLanne.org for details on how anyone can participate in a collective "feat of strength" to honor all that Jack has done to get us all motivated about fitness for the past 50+ years. Some highlights:

• Group Feat of Strength planned in the San Francisco Bay Area. The basic idea is a moderate bike ride covering some of Jack's old haunts in the East Bay and in SF, with some fun activities planned along the way. Total distance 20-30 miles. You must signup with the TeamHuman.org social networking site to access the "group feat of strength" link and to get involved.
• Party at Sports Basement, Sunnyvale on 18 Sep 2009. Gear up and get a decent discount. We'll also go over the plans for the group feat of strength in the SF Bay area. Email me if you plan to come.(Note: TeamHuman.org has no connection with Sports Basement. Steve just got lucky with a raffle ticket.)
• Publicity photoshoot: We're working on get a little story published in a local SF Bay area paper about this effort. Anyone interested in getting in on a photo for the story with Chris LaLanne, signup and include your email.
• Bodycare reform - How Jack's credo of physical fitness is probably the most effective, long-term route towards reduced healthcare costs.
