Up and Running

Are you ready to get "Up and Running?" Saturdays C&O Canal run was a hit! The weather was perfect and the runners had a great morning...definitely worth getting "up" and "running!" Come join us on Saturdays this summer for fantastic runs at Burke Lake, The Battlefield, WO&D, Bull Run and other super places for your running pleasure.

Do you want to run and play? It is time to do both! How about joining the Run Club (singlets, shirts and all) for the Ashburn Twilight 4 miler Run? They have a great band afterwards with super activities to bring in the summer on June 28th! http://www.potomacriverrunning.com/frames.asp We are thinking about going to dinner afterwards too! If you are interested in joining in with us for our summer social, let me know!

Tonight is track night at Centreville High School. If it is raining cats and dogs with thunder and lightening, meet us at the club at 7 pm on the treadmills. I will see if we can join the Cardio2 group again!

This Saturday, we will be back at Burke Lake at our usual time, 7 am/8am. If you want to run at 10-12 minute pace, you are in luck. Right now, the majority of our runners are hitting that pace. It is a perfect time to come out! Let me know if you are coming so we can match paces!

Remember, run club is free! Pass the word along. And if you don't mind (again), let me know what size, type (gray, Reindeer Run Long sleeve-maroon or sage green) of shirt you need if you haven't yet received yours...or you just want another.

We are gearing up our training programs. They are going to be awesome this year! The Run Club program is moving to the PT department so we will have some great support. We are planning some amazing clinics too. More to come on this subject in the next few weeks!

Running tip of the week: "Try filling the wasted minutes with running. Get up a little earlier in the morning. Turn off the TV a little later in the evening. Substitute a run for lunch. Don't wait for running time to open up. Make time."

Now go and Run!
