THE CLUB'S REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE MONDAY, MAY 12, AT 7:00 PM. WE ARE MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION: JOE'S PIZZA & PASTA, 5555 LEE HIGHWAY, ARLINGTON, VA. THANKS TO JOE FERRUGIO FOR BEING OUR HOST.
1. Summer 2008 MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAM TO START JUNE 4; COACHES NEEDED: Our popular Marathon Training Program will be starting with the first Saturday Long Run (SLR) in June. (June 7) Please note that SLR starts at 7:00 am during the summer months, and will do so on June 7. SLR meets at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington. On-street parking is available, but participants are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot.
In addition to the Saturday Long Run, the program includes a regular Wednesday Night Track Workout, conducted at Washington-Lee HS in Arlington. Warm-ups start at 7:00 pm.
Kristin Dahling and Ben Richter will be coordinating the Program. They invite those interested in being trainees or coaches to sign up now. Trainees should, by June 7, already have a solid running base (about 25 miles a week) and be able to run 10 miles without difficulty. Coaches should have completed at least one marathon, and plan to regularly attend track and SLR during the program.
