Race day started as the best of all running weather days. Cool, sunny, low humidity. It was really Washington DC at its finest; the monuments glowed white, the streets were clean swept and the trees were a new green. A great day to run a half marathon.

15,000 women and Dan Yi did just that. Continue reading

WRC should NEVER turn down an invitation to a party!

From our friend, Samia Akbar at the Clarendon Pacers:

“I just wanted to extend an invite to you and everyone else at the Washington Running Club to the Nike Women’s Half Prep-Rally put on by Pacers happening Thursday, April 11th. This event will be held at the Clarendon location at 7pm. We’ll have plenty of delicious food, sweet treats, giveaways, fashion shows, specials on Nike apparel, a DJ etc!!! It’s going to be a super fun atmosphere so please feel free to stop in and bring friends. This open to everyone, people training for the race and new runners alike.”

I am thinking we gather at American Tap Room (map) afterwards? Should be fun for all!

So! You want to be in movies?

Do you? Do you? The Washington Running Club is a good looking bunch, especially in our skin tight and flashy running clothes. Apparently, there is a casting call for US.

HBO’s series, VEEP, starring Julia Louis Dreyfus (and yes, she will be there) is filming a scene requiring a large number of runners. The shoot will be on Wednesday, March 20th in Baltimore, MD.

If you are interested, you need to be available ALL day. You will be PAID $75 (and thus be a professional actor or model). You need to supply your own running gear and do your own makeup. I recommend waterproof mascara. Ask Christine.

Contact Emily at Pat Moran Talent Agency at 410-558-0400. She is super nice.

Or you can email patmorantalent@gmail.com with your age, your contact information and a cute photo.

Lights! Camera! Action! That sounds almost as good as ready, set, go!

Masters Runners: Deadline Approaching…Like NOW

Fellow Amazing Masters Runners: If you have been considering competing in the 2013 USA Track and Field Nationals Indoor Championships, which are to be held practically NEXT DOOR on the fab track in Landover, MD, the deadline for online registration is this evening, before dinner. 8 pm.

There is late registration which will be an option until the 27th of February, but that will set you back an additional $50.

No Snow Sunday in Washington DC

A great group showed up for a sunny Sunday run.  We knew our friends to the north were getting their cardio in with snow shoveling repeats…but we broke a nice sweat and thought about sunblock.

Movie is on its way!

Kit, Michaela, and Carla are going to make sure the movie, Town of Runners, is a success.  We are working hard on getting this off the ground. Michaela already has lots of good suggestions from her contacts at Georgetown. If anyone has ideas for a place to screen the movie, please let us know. We are looking for a spot in Georgetown, hopefully, for a screening on Saturday afternoon, April 27th.

This should coincide nicely with lots of hoopla surrounding the Nike Women’s Half Marathon the next day.
