These races *used* to be called the Wednesday Night
Speed Series and were held in Prospect Park and on
Staten Island, alternating weeks (every other week in
Prospect Park).  In years past, they've been held
during the late summer, generally July/August.  There
were three or four races in each location.

They are not yet on the nyrr.org calendar for 2006.
They may not be held this year, although LAST year
they weren't added until late in the season.  I think
they only gave a month or so notice before they put
them on the calendar last year.  Here's hoping they
return at some point!

I remember talk (and a flyer?) about a series of weekday evening 5Ks in Prospect
Park.  Does anyone know the date and time for these?

PS- I'm going for the biggest cry baby club award this year.  I've got super
shin pain (likely stress fracture) and need to take a couple weeks off.  No
groups runs for me.

I expect people to show up with the four wheel inliners. The faster people
on tuesday night use five wheels. But for the specifics, I would contact
them through their website.

good luck.

Hi guys!

The skating at central park is this roller skating or rollerblading?


Thanks!

Hi all,

Spring is coming and so it the new skate season.

I am going to pick up skating - while waiting to be running again - which I have
never done before. Anybody interested in joining me?

There is a good skateshop close to Prospect Park, which rents skates and gear.
And there are lots of (free) lessons coming up in Central Park, starting this
weekend.

My goal is to eventually make it to the Wednesday Night Skate, a fun skate event
every Wednesday on Manhattan.

I plan to run a speed training on Saturday at the normal time and place
and a long run on Sunday.

Logic:

     * I don't find any reference on tomorrows Duo nor on the website of
       tri-club, nor the Brooklyn tri, nor the yahoo group the direct
       links in the e-mail don't work.
     * Running at noon on Sunday impacts very much on my family life, I
       try to convince them to go with me with the subway

I would like to do tomorrow a first easy loop and then 5 minute hard, 5
minutes slow, 4 repetitions.

On Sunday, I would like to do a long slow run starting at 9:00 am,
perhaps earlier, more or less 10 miles. Options where to go are open.

Yahoo! Groups Links

Greetings, Marisa and Dave:

On Saturday and Sunday mornings the group usually
meets at 9 AM at the Prospect Park entrance at
Prospect Park West and 15th Street.  There is
confirmed to be a group of us on both days this coming
weekend.

On occasion, nobody will be there.  Generally this is
because there is a race in Central Park (about once
per month) in which the team is participating.

Tuesday and Thursday nights the team meets at 6:45 at
the statue at Prospect Park West and 9th Street.
These groups generally grow in size with the arrival
of daylight savings time (now only about 10 days
away!).

We look forward to seeing you guys on the roads!

Hi Brooklyn Road Runners!

my name is Marisa and I just moved here to Park Slope
a few months ago. I love running at the Park, and was
stoked when I heard about this group.

Are the Sunday morning runs still going on? Where does
everyone meet? Thanks!

For those that are going to be running on Sunday,
maybe it would be a good idea to do a group run to
city hall to participate in this march/demonstration?
I guess it depends on the weather...

Unfortunately, I will be out of town on Sunday (but if
I were here, I'd be organizing this and running to
city hall!).

City officials will soon make a decision.  A big turnout at Sunday's rally will
make the difference. Many prominent elected officials will speak and with your
help, many more will take notice.

Geert,
Most people probably take the subway.  The F train goes right there.

And most people meet up at the end near the buses that have your stuff.

Good luck!

And where do we meet?

Chris,

The book that worked very well for me (as well as some
others I know) is called the "Daniels' Running
Formula" by author Jack Daniels (nothing to do with
the whiskey).  It covers training from the mile to the
marathon and all popular distances in between.

The suggested workouts are VERY tough, but they can be
modified extensively to fit your training level, time
availability, and motivation level.  :)  It will at
least give you a framework that you can use to plan
for a successful race.

I got my copy from Amazon - there is now a second
edition (which is called the same thing, and I also
own) which is not significantly different from the
first (ie, you could probably get by with the first
edition if you can find one really cheap and used).

Good luck!  We hope to see you out there for the
Brooklyn Half on Saturday!

Hi,

Its time to prepare for the biggest run in Brooklyn...

How do we get to the Brooklyn Half?

Do we meet there somewhere?

Did Steve manage to get us singlets?

Geert

It's me, Sara Niccoli.  Okay, so many of you know that I'm running the Brooklyn
1/2 on March 18.  This presents a fun opportunity for Families United for Racial
and Economic Equality (FUREE) to raise some very much needed cash, you to
satisfy your sadist tendencies and yet feel like you've done a good deed, and me
to run fast and feel superior.

Here's how it works: you bet the over on a time of 1:37:00.  If I finish in less
than 1 hour 37 minutes you pay up to FUREE, supporting an awesome, awesome group
of families organizing to change policies that perpetuate racism, classism, and
poverty in New York City.  Your bet will provide the incentive I need to pace
just over a 7-minute mile for 13.1 miles.  That might be easy for some people
but for me it's going to be pretty f*n painful.  So Rae, remember when I whacked
you over the head with that stupid doll?  Marie, when I stole your I Heart
Horses socks?  Sadie, when I took your car and lost the keys? Think of this as
payback.

So reply to this e-mail with your bet.  Whatever you're comfortable with is
great, but more is better- duh.  And get this, you can make good in person at a
FUREE fundraiser disguised as an "all out booty shakin' lovefest" at Southpaw on
Wednesday March 22nd!* (If you can't make it, you can just donate through their
website or mail a check.)

What happens if I come in over 1:37?  Well you win.  But you don't really win. 
I suppose we can negotiate a nice thing that I'll have to do for you.  Or you
can just come to the party and I'll buy you a drink and you can give your
donation to FUREE anyway.

To learn about FUREE, check out their website:
http://www.furee.org/index.html. {Remember when I was 6 months pregnant and I
went to Texas for actions at Halliburton and Bush's ranch? These are the folks
that organized and took care of me}.

*The party starts at 7 pm on Wednesday March 22nd
Southpaw is 125 Fifth Ave. at St. John's in Brooklyn.

It's such a beautiful day.  Everyone should get out.
My friend and I plan to do the Prospect Park steps near the south end
between 5:30pm and 6:30pm today.  Everyone is welcome.

Last night I told folks I'd be at the Red Hook track at 4:30 today.  Turns out,
I'm not going to be able to make it.  Sorry about that.
