1. MEMBER RACE RESULTS
M-J Oboroceanu 43 2:15:56 Cherry Blossom 10-Miler, DC, 4/02 Over 40 WRCers raced among the crowds, crowds, crowds, wind, and blossoms! Our men's team took 5th place among running clubs. 5,200 men and 5,393 women finished the race. Casey and Michael led the way for the WRC... 11th Casey Smith 26 57:14
21st Michael Wardian 31 53:27
*Family/friends. 5th Place Men's team: O'Hara, Lockwood, Rolly, Forsyth, DeSchryver What a great showing by WRC members, kudos to all who ran! We note that some of our members were off their usual race pace because they got held up by the crowds. A couple of others were out there, but still coming back from injuries. Cherry Blossom 5k, DC, 4/02
15th Theresa Grano 27 26:34
Glass City Marathon, OH, 4/02
46th Dane Rauschenberg 29 3:25:46 Great running all, we apologize if we missed any places or races! "Vino tonight?" --W. Ellison
2. NO TRACK WORKOUT, BUT TRAIL RUN INSTEAD Tuesday (tonight 4/04). The high school track is closed, but we will be meeting in the parking lot of Washington-Lee High School to hit the W&OD trail for a trail run, leaving at about 6:20 pm. Suggestion:
Track coordinator Erica Morton: mortonej@yahoo.com "There are really only two plays:
Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket." --Abe Lemons (apparantely
UCLA forgot that last night)
3. SUNDAY DISTANCE RUN (4/09). For a run ranging from 8-14 miles at various paces, we meet at the 3300 block of M Street in Georgetown at 8:00 a.m. (1.5 blocks down from the Key Bridge). Parking is plentiful on M Street. See the website (washrun.org) for directions to the run if you need them. After the run, we regroup at Dean & Deluca's on M Street to sip coffee, crunch on pricey sweets, and discuss all things intriguing. "We were so poor my daddy unplugged
the clocks when we went to bed." --Chris Rock (if you leave yours plugged
in, we hope you sprung them forward an hour on Sunday)
4. NEW MEMBERS. We have had 26 new
members thus far in 2006, 12 ladies and 14 men. We welcome all to the club
and hope to meet you soon! The WRC now has more than 165 members, its most
in decades.

Will just had his tests done here
and got all kinds of good data to help his training. Just an FYI in case
anyone's interested in doing the same.
B. Bruce Reynolds announces
that his son Eric is giving a performance with his band, Darling, on Wednesday
at 8:30 at the Grog & Tankard, located at 2408 Wisconsin Ave.
Darling is the first band, followed by three metal bands. Their music is
quite different from metal, and perhaps best defined by a Washington Post
reviewer as "art rock". The Grog and Tankard has been a great venue for
bands of various kinds for decades. http://www.grogandtankard.com/
