                       Wednesday, January 8, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Sonya Estes for her outstanding service to our community.
   Sonya is dedicated to the health and fitness of her community. For 
over nine years she has promoted the sport of running and its 
opportunities for community involvement. She was recognized by 
Jefferson County Public Schools for her support of cross-country and 
track events, and she sponsors middle school and high school races and 
Girls on the Run. As the owner of Lakewood's Runners Roost Sonya has 
opened up her store as a lecture and event location for local charities 
including Team Challenge, the Alzheimer's Association of Colorado and 
the American Lung Association of Colorado. She also donated thousands 
of recycled shoes to the More Foundation. Working with the City of 
Lakewood Parks and Recreation she contributes to the Lakewood Trail 
Running Series and the Bear Creek Grin and Bear It. Sonya doesn't walk 
the talk . . . she runs it!
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Sonya Estes for her well-
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
