Fellow Endorphin Junkies:
This week there will be NO Thursday Morning Track this week! Instead, we urge everyone to attend the DC Roadrunners Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus/Holiday Relays that will be held at 7 PM TOMORROW NIGHT - Wednesday, December 18th at the Washington-Lee Track, 1301 N Stafford St, Arlington, VA 22201. Coach Ed will split everyone into hopefully competitive two-person teams, alternating between team members a total of 20 (so 10 each) 400M laps. There will be awards for winning teams and best holiday themed costumes. Happy Hour and fellowship for Club Members will follow in Ballston with details to be announced at the track.
All are welcome at the Happy Hour even if you don't run in the relays. I especially encourage everyone to participate, as this is the one time all year that we get to share camaraderie, cooperation, and yes, just a little competition when we are paired with our brother and sister Wednesday Night Hawks – when we are together as one big Team/Club. Plus you get to see a REAL coach in Coach Ed! ;-) Unfortunately, I need to be at a business event and will miss the Relays but hope to join everyone later for Happy Hour!
The weather tomorrow night (Wednesday) night will be warmish, with Temps in the fifties, but a alight chance of rain.
Here is the Coach Big Guy Club News this week:
No race reports this week, but speaking of TREMENDOUSLY fun races, January 1st is not only the first day of a new year, it is also the annual Resolutions & Predictions 5k. The race is even at a civilized time – noon on New Year's Day! Our own Coach Rich is Race director, and he would LOVE to see you and have some help. Register to run at atÂÂ https://www.dcroadrunners.org/,ÂÂ or Coach Rich could still use some help, so to volunteer please go to https://www.dcroadrunners.org/volunteer/pr5k.
Happy running!
Hope you can make it to the Holiday Relays tomorrow night, and I will try to make it to Happy Hour!
