Hi All,

I'm new to the group and newbie Marathoner - NYC will be my first. Does the
Brooklyn club have a group that trains for NYC together?  Are there any "slow
runners" out there that train together I'm a 11 mile pace and looking for some
running buddies.

Drop me a line if you can offer some suggestions.

All the best,

KARL

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone knows of a half in July in the NYC tri-state area?  I've
looked on Runners World and Active and haven't found one.

Thanks.

KARL

Hi all, I will be moving to Bay Ridge June 1, and commuting into Manhattan to
work and attend school.  I currently live right near central park and belong to
NYRR in Manhattan, so hope it won't be a huge adjustment to meet other runners
in Bay Ridge.  I am totally unfamiliar with the area and would love to get in
touch with a runner or running group to meet in the mornings for runs.  Please
shoot me an e-mail at latonatasha@....  Thanks so much!

Natasha

Hi,
Thanks for the newsletter!

I wanted to add that I was able to register for the Brooklyn Half on the NYRR
site earlier this week.  So it is open now.  It has been confirmed for May 30th
at 8a.m.

Scotland Run 10k
NYRR recently posted that Scotland Run 10k on April 11 in Central Park is
nearing capacity.  This is the next team race and it would be great to get a
sizable contingent out there.  Try to register as soon as possible to make sure
you get in.

Van Cortlandt 10k Trail Run
This Sunday (April 5th) at 10am at Van Cortlandt Park is a VCTC event.  A great
way to get out of Prospect and run on some dirt.  If anyone is planning on
driving please drop a message to the listserv if you have room in your car for
anyone else and a way to contact you directly.  more info can be found at
www.vctc.org

Brooklyn Half Marathon
Still waiting on details of course, but still listed as May 30th(subject to
change).  Keep training as we need a strong showing on our home course.

See you all out on the roads or track.
Thanks,
Scott

Hello,
Weather permitting, would anyone be interested in running down to Coney Island
as a preview to the Brooklyn Half Marathon with me, this Saturday?
Thanks!

I've posted some information and suggestions on running routes in and around
Rockefeller State Park Preserve at:

This is extracted from our new running guide "Fun on Foot in New York" which
will be released in the next couple of weeks.  See

Have fun, Warwick Ford

Hi, all~
Now that I'm finally back (fingers crossed!) from my femur fracture I'm looking
to do some longish (15 miles) runs as we head into Spring on *soft* surfaces.
The Rockefellar Preserve is ideal, but I am not familiar with the trails and
don't want to be running lost. If any of you are interested in such long runs
and are knowledgable about the park and its routes, I'd be happy to work out a
few dates and have transportation for us to and from Circles.

Happy running,

Hi all,
I am running the Brooklyn Half Marathon for the first time this May.  I was
hoping to do a preview run to see the route before the actual one, perhaps
sometime in the next few weeks.
Might anyone want to run this with me?  Please let me know if you are interested
and we can plan a good day/time.
Thank you.
Best,
Natalie

John,
You have been a wonderful team captain- motivating, knowledgeable and inspiring-
and I am sad to hear you will not be captain any more,  but do understand the
other commitment.  Thank you for leading the group as you did.

I look forward to still seeing you at the races and any group runs.

As well, Good luck to the new Captain!

Best,
Natalie

Unfortunately, I don't think posting on Feb. 28 was very useful for getting
people to come to the race the very next day, especially as it was in faraway
Washington Heights.

BRRC had a dismal showing at Coogan's: We didn't have a legal women's team (3
showed up), and we had 6 men, who finished in 20th place, our worst showing in
many years.

For the Scotland Run, on April 11, please enter the race soon, as it is a capped
race. The Colon Challenge filled up 3 weeks ahead of time, and that wasn't a
team race, so if you snooze, you'll lose the chance to run this race.

I stepped down as men's team captain as of January of this year after 11 years'
of doing it; the position remains unfilled, and anyone who wants to volunteer
for it is free to do so. If you want to discuss what it entails, Steve Bonal's
phone number is 917-238-9447, and mine is 718-469-0589.

I've enjoyed doing it, and it has really kept me in touch with virtually all
active BRRCers, as they can attest. (I probably barely escaped arrest for
harassment and stalking!) However, I'm now back running my other volunteer
organization, the union at my workplace, and doing both is too much.

I will continue to run all the team races and talk them up at the group runs, so
the next captain will have a very active informal assistant.

Good luck to all our club runners!
