No Run This Saturday - May 29th

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone! Because of the holiday weekend and multiple other obligations and opportunities, we will not be meeting for run club this Saturday. I may schedule the next run for the following weekend though - I'll keep you posted.

Congrats to all who ran the Historic Half a few weeks ago!
There is a race coming up in June that I wanted to let y'all know about - it's the Battlefield Half Marathon and is being held on Saturday, June 19th. It's in Winchester, VA and is only $35 to register. Here's the website: http://www.battlefield131.com/  I haven't registered yet, but I'm very seriously considering it. If anyone else plans to run it and wants to carpool, let me know. My plan would be to leave Stafford around 4:30 a.m.

Hope you have a great rest of the week, a chance to relax this holiday weekend, and don't forget what it is we celebrate on Memorial Day.

Blessings,
Karen

Run Scheduled - This Saturday, May 15th

Horizons Runners will be meeting this Saturday, May 15th. We gather in the Horizons Church parking lot. At 7:00 a.m., those interested in a 5 mile run will meet up and run. At 8:15 a.m., there will be another run for beginner runners and/or those who are in the 3 mile or less ability range. If you aren't sure which group you would fit best in, email me and we can discuss your specific ability and I can let you know where I think you'll fit best. I would like to know who to expect at the 8:15 a.m. run, so if you plan on joining us, please send me an email (mailto:karenegyud@gmail.com.

For the runners who come at 7:00 a.m., you are all welcome (and encouraged) to hang around for the 2nd run and to help mentor the new runners. No matter which run you are coming to, please remember to be prompt as we head out for our runs a few minutes after the meet up time.

Good luck to all who are doing the Marine Corps Historic Half this Sunday. Even though I'm not running it, I'm hoping to hit the Expo sometime this weekend to take advantage of the great deals that are sometimes available on shoes, etc.  There is also a donation drop-off for gently worn shoes.

Have a great rest of the weekend and I hope to see you on Saturday!

Blessings,
Karen
