Track NOT Available Tonight; Other News

Club Members and Guests:

1. Wednesday Night Track: My apologies for having to amend this message. I've now learned (Wednesday morning) that there is a lacrosse tournament tonight at Washington-Lee, and thus, the track will not be available to us.

We will do Mile repeats on the trail. The repeats will start at Mile 1.0 on the Custis Trail and head west to Mile 0.0. Rest interval will be to jog to Mile 4.0 on the W&OD Trail. Then, another mile repeat to Mile 5.0. At that point, do an "out and back" recovery of three minutes total, and then repeat the workout to come home: Fast from Miles 5.0 to 4.0 on the W&OD, recover to Mile 0.0 on the Custis, then fast to Mile 1.0 on Custis. Save something for that last uphill mile!

PARKING: Please park in the "I-66" lot north of the school. A lot of us received tickets last week for "squeezing in" spaces in the gravel lot on Washington Blvd. We will still meet on Washington Blvd, as it is unclear which entrances to the stadium will be open.

Again, I apologize for this. The County has not kept us informed of the Stadium schedule. I will communicate with the appropriate person to try to rectifty this.

2. Marathon Training Program: Registration is starting. There will be a page on the website for this. In the meantime, if you are interested in registering, please contact Kerry O'Brien at raptorkerry@yahoo.com for more details. And watch for more details on this blog in a day or two.

3. Lawyers Have Heart: This major 10K event takes place on June 9, 2007, at 8:00 on the Georgetown Waterfront. we've been offered a deal: If 10 Club members volunteer to staff the on-course timing operation, we will be given 10 free entries! If you can help, please let us know -- buddy up with a friend who would like to run for free! Reply to president@dcroadrunners.org

4. May Board Meeting: The DCRRC Board meeting will take place at 7:00 pm on Monday, May 14, at the Silver Diner in Clarendon.

All for now. Watch for more updates very shortly.
