Hi Everyone. With any luck this will be the last Thursday of summer this year. Gonna be real warm and sticky so make sure and bring water, Gatorade or whatever you beverage of choice is. Workout is 2 x 20min tempo intervals with a 3-minute rest between them. This is a great workout for those running the MCM or any of the later Fall Marathons.
As always we will start the workout at 6AM sharp so please get there in advance to be warmed up.
Some fabulous race results from this past weekend at multiple races ...
Huge congrats to Andrew Simpson who posted a 2:57:51 at the St. George Marathon in Utah. This was a PR and of course a BQ. Andrew has been chasing that sub-3 for a while now and was just ecstatic.
Another HUGE PR for Christine Westcott at the BAA HM in Boston. Her time of 1:31:59 gave her the BAA Distance Medley Championship for the 45-49 AG. This combined the BAA 5K, 10K and HM. Congrats once again to Christine!
PRs for everyone our crew that ran in Chicago. Another HUGE CONGRATS to all of you ...

DC Road Runners Club October Happy Hour is set for the 25th at Ireland's Four Courts starting at 6:30PM. Bunion Derby Awards will be part of this event and we have several winners representing the Thursday morning faithful. I hope to see many of you there.
