RUN RSVP: Saturday 06/12

Summer may not have officially arrived, by the heat that comes with it is here. The high tomorrow is 96F. For this reason, I strongly recommend an early start for your long run. The temp at 6:30 am is only 67F, so there is your motivation to get up early!
Run Details:

  • Where: Saturday, 6:30 am @ Harris Teeter
  • Supported: TBD
  • Weather: Forecast (Hot and Humid)
  • Routes: 5k; 10 Miles

It is just me and the kids this weekend, so I am not able to get out and run, or set up the fluids. It is very important that you have fluids, so if someone can set it up at the tracks, it would be helpful. Everyone should come prepared just in case, and start hydrating the moment you wake up.

As a reminder, please review the routes prior to the run, and print directions if need. It is your responsibility to know where to go.

Good Luck:

  • Boogie: Ron, Frank, Amber, and Jon are all taking on the hot evening marathon challenge that is known as the Boogie Marathon. This race begins Saturday at 6:00 pm. Good luck everyone! Try to stay cool.
  • Crossroads: Dennis is destined for a PR this weekend when he races in the Crossroads 17.75K. I think it is a safe bet that Dennis does not already have a 17.75K PR. This new event is to commemorate the year the Marines were founded. Good luck Dennis
  • New York Mini 10k: Ursula is making a quick day trip to New York and will run in the New York Mini 10k race through Central Park. This women's only event will feature 11 Olympians including Lewy Boulet, Paula Radcliffe, and Kara Coucher.

Medoc: As you know, the Medoc 10-Miler is sold out. If you think there is a chance you want to run and you did not register, please get on the wait list at the race website. Because we already have people on the wait list, we must go in the order of those that signed up. There is still room in the marathon, and we really hope that more from the RMEC will decide to take on this challenge.

    Hi all - new to the club. I'd be up for a 5k (or anything under 6 miles, ~10 min pace) from HT at 6:30. Looking forward to meeting folks!

    I'll be at the HT @ 6:30 - not sure how fast or long but thinking I'd like to end up with 9-10 miles - maybe I'll be able to find you Patti for at least part of our runs?
