Upcoming Weekend Long Run
Does anyone want to host a weekend long run? Let me know and
Jay (for the website) and we'll get the word out. -Bill Rodgers
Track Etiquette Reminder
Remember to move to the right lanes
when slowing down during recovery turnarounds and especially when you hear
"Track" called by a faster runner behind you. We want to make
sure everybody has a safe and productive workout and that nobody
gets run over - ouch! Please respect other runners as we are all
here to support each other and have fun too. Also, try to stay with your pace group
during the workout. If you're feeling faster than your group
after starting then it's fine to move up to a faster group
during the workout. Likewise, it's also perfectly OK to drop
back to a slower group if you're feeling slower or tired during
the course of the workout. The idea is to stay with a group so
the track doesn't end up getting scattered with a lot of
individuals dodging each other!
