It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." --Bill Gates 2. TRACK WORKOUT, Tuesday (10/3). At the Washington-Lee High School track. The speed workout begins at 6:30pm. Show up earlier to warm up a couple of miles if you can. See the website for directions. Parking is a bit difficult because the school is being renovated and the parking lot is closed. Park on the streets nearby, but be respectful of those that live in the neighborhood please. Of course, the school is metro accessable (Ballston metro stop). Track workouts make you FASTER! This week's suggested workout:
The track is shown as open tonight! (per Washington-Lee sports schedule) Weather Forecast: today - partly cloudy, warm, high 83F, winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight - mostly clear, low 61F, winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Track workouts, like all WRC activities, are voluntary. If you choose to come out, be sure to properly hydrate and bring water or a sports drink. Also, listen carefully to your body while doing the workout. "There are two types of people in this world: good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more." --Woody Allen 3. SUNDAY DISTANCE RUN (10/8). For a run ranging from 10-14 miles (some do more for their marathon training) 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 on M Street to correct all the world's problems...and oh yes, for some drinks, coffee, and grub too. "Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open."
--John Barrymore

A good number of WRC members will be toeing the line at marathons this fall. Here is a compilation of what we know. If you're name is missing from the events listed, please let us know and we'll add you. 10/22 Chicago Marathon - a slew of folks...and the WRC will field a rather large team (those on team marked with *). Gen Kiley (elite category)
10/29 Marine Corps Marathon Challice Bonifant
11/11 Richmond Marathon Henry Grossman
11/19 Philadelphia Marathon Dane Rauschenberg (of course we know Dane is doing one every weekend of the fall: fiddy2.org) 12/09 Kiawah Island Marathon (SC) Young Kim NOTE: Young is looking for up to three (3) fellow members/runners who are interested in doing the Kiawah Marathon to ride down to South Cackalacki with him on a small plane (he's the pilot). The cost will depend on number of riders and amount of fuel used (depending on wind), but will be from $100-$200, mucho cheaper than a commercial flight. We wish all those running marathons this fall the best of endurance and strength, as well as luck with the weather! Train smart and hard, taper right, pace well,
run fast!
