Don't Forget!

Runners!

Tomorrow, April 1st, the Army 10 miler registration opens. This race fills up fast! If you are interested in participating in this race, click here.

Congrats to Gary and Marguerite for training with diligence for the National Half Marathon that ran this past Saturday. Our hearts go out to Marguerite who was unable to participate due to a recently diagnosed stress fracture making it impossible to race. We are awaiting details about Gary's run! Congrats to both of you for making great strides!

This Sunday is the long awaited Cherry Blossom 10 miler. Good luck to many of our runners...Roger, Gayle, Dianne, Mary, Charles, Flossie, Jann, Jamie, Kimmy, Steve, and I am sure others who are participating in the race (let me know if I forgot you so I can give you a shout out)!

We send our love to Mike who is having surgery this week. Our thoughts and prayers will surely be with you for a speedy recovery!

This Tuesday, we will be at the track. Last week, the high school had a soccer game. This is a common occurrence now that spring sports are in season. If there is a home game on Tuesday night, we will run Union Mill towards the golf course (run left on the paved path). It now stays light until 7:45. We tried it out last week and it was completely light our entire run...so there should be no safety issues. If is it raining hard with strong winds, please meet us at the gym for a treadmill workout.

I will be out of town this Saturday. Plan on running Burke at our usual time and place, Burke Lake 7 am/8am. Dianne will be there for any questions/concerns.

Don't forget to sign up for Lifetime's Wild 5k Run at Bull Run Park in May (Mother's Day). It is a super course (2/3 on trail, 1/3 on pavement) with a great looking t-shirt.

Running Tip of the Week: "All degrees and descriptions of runners are alike in more ways than they're different. They all operate under the same physical laws. They all get more from running if they work within those laws, and they all suffer when they break them."

Now go and Run!
