Ragnar Relay

I'm seeing if there's enough interest out there to field a 12 person team for the Ragnar Relay that will be held on September 25/26. The deadline to register at the lower price is June 30th, so I'm looking for commitments by this Sunday, June 28th. I have 6 pretty firm commitments, and a handful of other possibilities, so we're at least 1/2 way there.

For more information, review the website (www.ragnarrelay.com/dc/index.php) and if you're interested, send me an email at karenegyud@gmail.com.

Run Scheduled - This Saturday, June 27 at 7 a.m.

Join Horizons Runners this Saturday at 7 a.m. for a 5 mile run. We'll meet in the parking lot of Horizons Church and run the out and back through Augustine.

Hopefully the weather reports will be correct and it won't be oppressively humid. I'm still trying to adjust to the heat.

Hope you can join us. Please email me should you have any questions (karenegyud@gmail.com).

Blessings,
Karen

Summer Schedule

Just wanted to get some advance warning out to everyone on our summer schedule. We'll still be sticking with our every other week schedule, at our new meet time of 7:00 a.m. However, the next scheduled run will be on June 27th and every other week there forward. That keeps us off the 20th (I'll be on vacation :), and July 4th.

Run Scheduled - This Saturday, 6/6 @ 7 a.m.

Hello runners!

I hope you are enjoying warm weather running. I'm not, but I'm hoping to get used to it soon.

We'll meet this Saturday, June 6th at 7:00 a.m. in the parking lot of Horizons Church (corner of Winding Creek and Flatford - back side of Park Ridge). Distance will be @5 miles. Please note that the time has been moved up 30 minutes and we will stay at a similar time through the summer due to the heat & humidity of our lovely Virginia.

See you Saturday!

Run Scheduled - May 23

Hey Runners. Join us this coming Saturday, 5/23, for a 5 mile run. We'll meet in the Horizons Church parking lot at 7:30 a.m. There will also be the opportunity to add a few more miles onto the end of the run if you'd like.

Congrats to everyone who ran in a race last Sunday. Dave Robertson & Steve Sparling ran the Ex2 Off-Road Half Marathon in Prince William Forest Park - great times guys. I do hope there will be pictures from this one! I know there were a few people in the Historic Half in Fredericksburg, too. I have to admit that my predominant thought on Sunday morning was one of thankfulness that I wasn't registered to run either of these races. :)

Training programs are starting to kick into full gear - I'll try and schedule some "off-site" long runs for those in training for fall half & full marathons. If you haven't signed up for something yet, there are lots of great options - Baltimore, Richmond, VA Beach. Dave R. is doing the Rattlesnake Trail 50K on July 11th in WV. Rattlesnake Trail? No thank you. But, for those who are into trails without snakes in the name, there is a 50K in Dahlgren in August. Here's the link: http://www.racetimingunlimited.org/raceinfo/DU09Info.aspx

Have a great week running in this beautiful weather and hope to see you Saturday.

Blessings,
Karen
