We had 27 participants come out yesterday and two of our
dads brought out their daughters. This
was a pleasant surprise and a good sign of things to come. As much as I love all the wisdom that makes
up our club, we could really use some more youth. I’m not getting any younger (SHOCKER!), and
someone is going to have to pick up where we all leave off. It was looking like our twenty something
group was about to sprout this season, but that was short lived, so I’m holding
out hope that the Megan Schaal’s , Phoebe Iguchi’s , and the Alex Cohen’s continue
to come out well into their, well, Rod Messenger type years.
Joining our daddy, daughter duo’s of Dan & Megan and
Steve & Phoebe were: Allyson, myself, Kevin, Tim, Tereza, Mike, Pete, Joe,
Rob, Bharminder, Brian, Neil, Denise, Greg Z (first appearance of the season!),
Glenn, Alex, Scott, Jimbo, Maria, Joe G, Eric, first timer Angela Walsh (we
hope you come back), and our newest member Carol Albright (the Speedsters
welcome you)!
Nice work by everyone last night, the temperatures were a
tad warm tag teamed with longer intervals (thanks again Rob), making for a
challenging workout. I’m thrilled to
announce we all survived including Eric.
Workout:
1 mile easy warm-up
1200 (600), 800 (400), 1200 (600)
1 mile cool down
Drills
Next up:
Thursday, we will be meeting at the Boat House (main lot) in
Tyler State Park for a hill workout at 6PM.
This will be your last opportunity to sign up for the Blue
& Orange Track Meet and we’re still in desperate need of participants as of
right now we have enough to put 13 on each team which would mean we would have
to drop a good amount of the events, which I don’t want to do. Please come out tomorrow and sign up for the
track meet. This event is free and a
members only event! This isn’t any
different than running on the track on Tuesday’s with the exception of being on
a Saturday and its all for fun. Three
of our newest members are signed up and so is our youngest member. If these members are not intimidated you
shouldn’t be either.
Saturday, August 24th from 9:00-12:00 with a
party afterwards (win or lose).
Bread Run on Saturday
is canceled! Sorry for the short
notice, but I forgot that Allyson and I would be away in Connecticut this
weekend and that the BCRR Equinox event is also on the same day. Feel free to still stop by Great Harvest
Bread in Newtown for some of their great baked goods. We will return at the end of July.

Day 10k:
We had a handful of members sign up this week, which has
taken us up to 10 participants! The last
day to register and be guaranteed a Brooks tech tee, is August 5th so
don’t wait too long. Please get the word
our about our race. We’re also in need
of sponsors for the race. If anyone
knows of a company that might be interested direct them to our website. At the very bottom of the race page is a link
to a paper form for sponsorship and also proof of our 501-3c non-profit status.
Till we run into each other again…
