All:
Happy New Year! Our group had a very successful 2019, with multiple personal records and, even more important, steady growth in regular participation at the Wednesday night workouts. Let's keep the trend going: invite your running friends to join us if they have not already.
A few words about the schedule and track availability. As you will see below, there are three consecutive weeks in March where scheduled W-L games will pre-empt the track. However, these are the only (at this point) scheduled interruptions. We recently discovered an alternative workout location adjacent to W-L that we will use at least one of those weeks (in addition to the "around the block" 1000M repeats we have done in the past). We will discuss that location when we meet at the track. Given the relatively favorable schedule, I have decided to post workouts through the end of June.
For those who have not done so, please subscribe to the email list for updates on Track Workouts. To do so, create an account on the DCRRC website, and then once you have logged in, click on "email subscriptions" under "My Account." You will see options for updates on a wide variety of DCRRC activities.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and fast(er) 2020, and see you at the track!
