hodgepodge of shots from the big night out! Names are omitted to protect
the guilty.
President Calls for Volunteer Race Help! Steve Baker, our esteemed president, proffers the following: The WRC is recruiting volunteers for two upcoming events. 1. The Gulf Coast Relief 5k is 9am Sat. Sept. 17th at the Oronoco Park in Old Town. Its a great opportunity to support the running community and help flood victims at the same time. If you can't run, please consider helping out in this charitable cause. 2. The Army 10 Miler is Sunday Oct. 2nd. George Banker has asked that we put together another group of Volunteers this year. George does a lot for the running community and has helped us with registering teams and getting race numbers so this is a good opportunity for us to return the favor in some small way. This year we will be working the chip corral at the finish line. If you are able to help, please follow the instructions below. To sign up:
Thanks for all your help!
Track Workout Meltdown We tried changing track workouts on Tuesday evenings to T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria due to a supposed renovation at Washington-Lee, but the numbers weren't there and hey, it was hot as hell too. So, we cancelled for August and will be making a decision soon as to future workouts. Perhaps, workouts on the trail after meeting in the Washington-Lee High School track parking lot is what is needed. Check out the track workout page for more info. Members receive updated track workout information via the weekly email update. Sunday Distance Runs Sunday Distance Runs are most often run along the Capital Crescent Trail, C&O Canal, or in Rock Creek Park. The Staples store has closed, so there is no longer a red awning marking our starting spot. But, we still meet at the same spot, close to the corner of 33d Street on M Street, NW, 1 &1/2 blocks from the Key Bridge. Great turnouts lately, close to or over 30 people have been showing! Come on out! After the sweaty run, we reconvene at Dean & Deluca's where all kinds of drinks are the order of the morn. We also attempt to solve all wordly problems, such as, who's on first, what's on second? Cool Distance Mapping Site: http://www.sueandpaul.com/gmapPedometer/ This is a cool site for which to measure your runs, if you feel the
need. To begin, click not in Hoboken for we're not there, then center big
map by clicking on location (e.g., Washington, DC), then zoom into the
location you want using the "railroad track" bar and arrows...then begin
measuring, clicking on your routes along the way. You can save routes,
or simply delete them and measure anew. Enjoy.
