Marathon Group Discussion Forthcoming Now that the fall marathons are done and some members are planning spring ones or others later in the year, we plan on having a group meeting for members to gather and discuss their marathon training, results, and experiences. This will be a rather informal gathering where we will invite people to come to share their training plans and race experiences focusing on what worked for them, what didn't work, what they think works best, etc. This will allow for people to get some ideas on what to do or try for their next marathon outing. Boston Marathon Email Group Started - because a number of members will be off to Boston to run the marathon on April 18, 2005, the club has begun a Boston email group so we can keep apprised of each other's training and travel plans. If you're heading to Boston and would like to be part of the group, send an email to be included. Track Nights Going Smoothly Into the Dark Track nights are on Wednesday evenings...to take advantage of the lights at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington. The club now meets at the beginning of the bleachers on the side of the track opposite the entrance gate. Because the track is crowded on Wednesdays, please remember track etiquette - when not running an interval, move to the outside lanes to let those running fast to have the inside lanes. Some WRC track stalwarts of late include Adina, Erica, Laura, Diana, Kelly, Emily, Jennifer, Puja, Genevieve, Steve, Dane, Will, Pascal, Yancy, Bart, Jim, Bryon, among a few others. Sunday Distance Runs Sunday Distance Runs are usually pounded out all along the Capital Crescent Trail, C&O Canal, or Rock Creek Park. However, this Sunday, December 19th, will be the annual Christmas tree run through DC (starting per usual from Georgetown), led by Mike Proulx, for those interested in doing that loop. The club has seen good sized Sunday showings lately...some often seen include Erica, Adina, Emily, Diana, Kelly, Lynn, Puja, Laura, Genevieve, Puja, Gerry, Steve, Tris, Pascal, Will, Jim, Yancy, Philip, Dave, Brian, among others. The formal WRC Sunday distance run is cancelled Sunday, December 26th, though a sparse showing may occur anyway.

enthusiasm can make any runner, no matter in what part of the world they
may live, run faster and farther."
