Club Members and Guests:
At the suggestion of some Club Members, you will henceforth be able to post replies to this blog. See button below.
1. Wednesday Night on the Trail: Tonight's (3/28) workout, as previously announced, will be on the Custis and W&OD Trails. Thr workout is "3 on/2 off." Pace is determined by whether or not you are running Cherry Blossom this Sunday. Sundown is at 7:28 -- so, you can plan to start earlier than usual. I will start sending grouups out at about 7:00 -- you can do your warm-up on the trail.
2. Congrats to DCRRC National Marathon Teams! DCRRC swept both first place team awards at last Saturday's Wirefly National Marathon. Congrats to the following competitors!
3. More Wirefly National Marathon: Congrats to all our other finishers in the half-marathon and marathon. Toni Diegoli finished as 7th woman overall, leading the Club's showing.

6. Cherry Blossom 10-Mile: This race still needs volunteers, and you can sign up at www.cherryblossom.org Remember that volunteering this year gets you a guaranteed entry into the 2008 race! Your club president is heading up a "video security" team -- I need a few more volunteers to fill out the team. Contact me if you are interested.
7. 10K Training Program: Our "goal" race for the 10K training program is the Capitol Hill 10K in May -- so there is still plenty of time to get in shape. More information is available under the "Programs" button to your left. Please contact program coordinator Peter Lamberton if you are interested in joining the group as a coach or as a runner. plamberton@yahoo.com
Run well in this great weather!
