NYRR Fitness Mind, Body, Spirit Games, 4 Miles - Sept. 12

[Karl]

The next NYRR club points race is the Fitness Mind, Body, Spirit Games, a 4 mile run on Saturday, September 12. The men's start is at 9:00 a.m. and the women's start is at 10:00 a.m., so the men and women can take turns cheering each other on. Or take turns watching the kids, and there is a kids race at 11:00.

Race information is available at: http://nyrr.org/races/2009/r0912x00.asp

Race fees go up on August 29.

Yes, yes, yes, I know this is the same weekend as the USATF-NJ cross country 5K. But it would be great to have just a couple runners to come in to form a team. We're on the wire for local competitive status. We've scored in 3 of the 5 needed races. And we have only two more points races before the NYC Marathon; the Fitness Mind, Body, Spirit Games (Sept. 12) and the Grete's Great Gallop (Oct. 3).

Karl, I wouldn't mind coming in for the 4 miler on the 12th, but I wouldn't race it, just run it, because of the xc 5k the next day. 5 women are needed in the open catergory to score. If 4 other sign their name here then it makes sense to sign up, which should be soon. Of master women we only need 3.

Ladies, would you please come in and run an easy 4 miler on sept 12th? NYRR races are always such a blast, I have not run enough of them this year (yea, 1!!). please let me know if you are game!! Suzanne

I got a few of my friends to sign up as Sneaker Factory for the Fitness run. From my Jersey City runners group; Paul Keyes (M-43), and two people from work; Junichi Ito (M-29) and Erin Nail (F-under 30). So we're close to forming a men's masters team, and have the start of a women's open team.

2 Strongs (old & young) will be there.

Eight of our runners made it in for the 4 miler in Central Park this morning. Forming a men's open and a men's masters team. Excellent!

The next NYRR club points race is the Grete's Great Gallop Half-Marathon on Saturday, October 3rd.
