CHURCH
You have one mission, from my perspective and that is to defeat Aaron Church. He has been racing in this area almost as long as Jim Hage and thus, his legs must be mush.
Maybe if you stretch, do hot yoga and eat organic, you can catch him..................

830 is the start time rather than 9am so please take note.
Hope to see all of you out there.

Saturday at Chevy Chase
I know it is early, but would folks be interested in etching out a 20-week training plan for Chicago post-run at Panera Bread (next to Store)? I have a calendar and I've spoken with a number of Windy City bound marathoners (Dickson, Karl et al) about producing a rough training plan...specifically the weekend long runs/workouts schedule.
Looking for roommate in 2 bedroom - 17th & U St NW
I'm looking for a roommate to move into a SPACIOUS 2 BR apt on U St on June 1 (my current roommate is moving out of town). It's an English basement on U St near 17th between Dupont Circle, the U St. Corridor, and Adams Morgan, and less than a mile from Rock Creek Park (to entrances: P St AND Connecticut Ave/Calvert St bridges). I have lived here since March 2009 and the lease is month-to-month.
The available bedroom is well light with two windows and a paned door that leads to the back alley. There's also a good sized closet with shelves (AMPLE space for running shoes). We would share a bathroom.
It's in a great location; a 10-15 min walk to TWO metro stations: U St. and Dupont Circle, and bus stops all around. Safeway and Harris Teeter are both a 7 min walk from the apartment and plenty of restaurants, bars, and shopping are nearby.
Rent is $875/month + utilities.
E-mail me, Lindsey, at: ljerdonek (at) gmail dot com
tranquility CAN be yours. any leads of potential roommates would be appreciated as well. thanks!

Run Like You Can't Fail
Run Like You Can’t Fail
by ryanhall | Apr 13, 2010 | 234 views
With one week to go before Marathon Monday the challenging aspects of training shift from the physical to the mental. Anyone who has run a marathon knows how long (mentally) that last week can be. All the physical training is done. The only physical benefits to be gained come from resting and eating well over the next week. Crushing last minute workouts has no place in these final days. However, there is still time to prepare the heart.
As Sara and I were sitting and chatting before my last 90 minute run yesterday (Monday) morning we were talking about the heart that I want to have during my race. A heart that is free from all worries, completely trusting God’s goodness, connected to Him. Sara reminded me of another good word we received months earlier: “run the race like you can’t fail.” I knew as soon as the words trickled from her mouth they were exactly what I needed for this moment.
So often there is the temptation to over think race strategy. We want to have an exact race plan that will be carried out exactly how we have visualized it. It’s not that planning is bad, one should be prepared for whatever lies ahead, however there comes a point where we are over analysing and putting more confidence in having to execute the perfect race strategy then trusting in our ability to respond to whatever is thrown our way. Freedom, in terms of a free-flowing race strategy, can be scary. It’s scary because we have to let go of control. However, the benefits of freedom are great. It allows flexibility, an open mind, an open vision, an open heart to whatever the day may hold. It gives us the opportunity to receive the moment to the fullest whether or not it is the perfect race day or pouring rain. I encourage you to let go and run free and run like you can’t fail!

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TRAIN TO GO THE OLYMPICS
If anyone knows of a young soul looking to try and make the Olympics in a distance of 5K and up, let me know.
The person needs to be serious and willing to work with a team of experts including the following:
Coach
Nutritionist
Massage Therapist
Personal Trainer
Physical Therapist
this person will receive these services as well as some shoes and equipment and more at no cost.
they need to be committed and willing to work with the team until the trials and possibly beyond.
Obviously this is not for most but in case some lurker on the blog knows of that diamond in the rough, so to speak. Let me know.
This can be a wonderful opportunity for a person at the right stage of life for such and endeavor.
Seize the moment

SIDE NOTE: Jarrin makes history running 2:40 while swearing the entire time.
Ernst breaks PR, retires from running and commits to opening a brewery.
Other predictions?

FLASH: Wiggy Sets Record @ Firebirds Mile
Both were "controlled" efforts.
Karl took Wiggy out in 2:09ish, I followed in 2:11ish.
Karl stepped off the track at 800m.
Our plan to run 10:00 for 2 miles after turned out to be a bad idea and we ditched it after mile (Klim) and 1.5 miles (Wiggy)

RACE TEAM RACE
Bottom line is the more people you get to sign up and the less we/you rely on others, the more money the race team makes for its own use.
I am not privy to how the dollars are to be broken out but its best to start marketing and getting people to register.
Get to the local run clubs and hand out fliers at local races and hit the pavement in all directions in order to secure top billing is my humble advice.

Anyone for a track workout Wednesday?
NEW SHERIFF, MAYBE?
They now seem to be capturing runners from different areas. Chris Sloan and others, maybe.......oooops.
All kidding aside, when is the next team challenge and what, if anything is needed from a Company/sponsorship standpoint to continue to entice runners to come our way?

Boston Marathon Pacing & Info
I'll be joining big brother Dave Orton, who's Project BQ earned him a spot down at Virginia Beach last year. Dave's been kind enough to share a neat little spreadsheet to help strategize the race down to each mile.

Wednesday Workout
I will warm up from the track to CCT, then starts south of the Little Falls Pkwy intersection. On the way back, we can cooldown in the Kenwood section of the trail and see Chevy Chase's version of the cherry blossoms.

Celebrating National Men’s Health Week
Capital Crescent Trail on the Georgetown Waterfront
3530 Water Street NW, Washington DC (under Key Bridge)
This race replaces the race we were planning to do on the CCT in Bethesda.
This is the same flat, fast, out-and-back USATF certified 8k course that GRC did last year.
We have a 350 limit, so let's get as many bodies as we can.
I will be in touch with those of you helping me with "pre-race" things.
