Hi Dale,

thanks for the info, it has come a bit late this year, I would hope we can
extend the lower & discount rate at least until Feb.10th,  in past years the
teams were sent this info much earlier than this year, thus giving us a bit of
time to gather up attendees. If this at all possible I'm sure it would be
helpful to all the clubs & members.

Sincerely,

Rick Pascarella

	 A number of you have already contacted me about club night or sent emails to
the Club Night email address



	 * The 10% discount will apply to the table sales as well
	 * Groups who want to be sure they are seated together need to send me a final
list by Feb 15 when we will do our initial seating charts
	 * Table assignments will most likely be very much the same as last year
	 * Any groups wishing to pay by check can drop them off at NYRR with a print out
of the application so it is applied correctly





	 I hope this helps your planning

	 Please contact me or Kathleen if you have any other questions or comments

Hello!

My name is Melanie Stuparyk, I'm the editor of MetroSports New York
magazine. I am working on getting more local profiles of amateur athletes
into our magazine each month and I thought that a fun way to incorporate it
into the magazine would be to feature an athlete from a different running
club (or other sport) each month. This way we get more local folks into the
magazine and we get to tell readers about all the clubs that are out there
to consider joining.

I was wondering if you would mind talking to your runners and asking them if
any of them would be interested in helping me out with this by being the
focus of a short profile. We can do a short blurb on them, a little about
the club and a photo. If there's anyone who's accomplished a big goal
recently or has an interesting story, I'd love to hear it!

Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Melanie

Great job today folks!  Kudos to Marianne Mollman who received a 4th place age group award and came in 14th overall for women!  That's very cool.  Now...who's Marianne Mollmann???

PS- apologies for not making it out...after riding the subway almost all the way up, I decided that running on my already sore knee and hip wouldn't be so smart.

`EXTREME MARATHON' RUNNERS CROSS TWO THIRDS OF SAHARA IN UN BID TO FOCUS ON
WATER NEEDS
New York, Jan 15 2007  6:00PM
Running the equivalent of two marathons a day in some of the harshest conditions
on
Earth, three young athletes have pounded approximately two thirds of their way
across the
Sahara Desert in a United Nations-backed bid to raise awareness of the
burgeoning global
water crisis.

Charlie Engle of the United States, Ray Zahab of Canada and Kevin Lin from
Taiwan,
province of China, crossed from Niger into Libya on Saturday, completing some
3,800
kilometres of their 6,437-kilometre-long extreme quest that is taking them from
Senegal
on the Atlantic Ocean to Cairo, UN Development Programme (UNDP) spokesperson
Irena
Mihova told the UN News Service today.

They expect to cross into Egypt on 13 February, reaching the Red Sea on 23
February
before turning north to Cairo, in an awareness-raising odyssey that will be the
subject of a
feature documentary film, "Running the Sahara," directed by Oscar winner James
Moll and
narrated by another Oscar laureate, Matt Damon, executive producer, with UNDP as
co-
producer.

Pounding over endless sands and camel tracks, past towering dunes, stark rock
mountains
and mud-brick mosques, through oases and nomad settlements, the three left St.
Louis in
Senegal in early November and passed through Mauritania, Mali and Niger before
reaching
Libya.

"For the runners, water is a daily necessity," Ms. Mihova said. "For the people
of the
Sahara, and throughout the developing world, it is a lifelong concern."

This is made clear in the UNDP 2006 Human Development Report – Beyond scarcity:
Power, poverty and the global water crisis – which offers fresh new data on how
many poor
people go without water and sanitation, the inequality of access within and
between
nations, and how clean water affects child survival rates.

It calls on the Group of Eight (G-8) developed nations to spearhead an urgent
global action
plan to resolve the world's growing water and sanitation crisis, which causes
nearly 2
million child deaths every year and holds back countries' development,
especially in Africa.

Against the backdrop of the world-wide challenges the water crisis presents to
development, the three athletes are interacting with the people who live in the
5.6 million
square kilometres of the Sahara, witnessing some of the work by UNDP and others
in the
region.

"Each runner brings his own unique story and motivations, but all unite around a
love for
Africa and a profound desire to make a difference in the lives of the people of
the Sahara
in the best way they know how – by risking their lives running coast-to-coast
across the
Sahara Desert to prove that the impossible is possible; and in the process bring
people
into a new relationship with the Sahara and its people," UNDP said.

Among projects by the agency and Global Environment Facility, an independent
financial
organization, that the runners have already visited or will soon visit during
their extreme
marathon are water-management, governance and peace-building efforts in Mali and
Niger, a conservation project for medicinal plants in Egypt, dam construction in
Mauritania
and a school in Senegal.

In addition to the 90-minute film, slated for international release in late
2007, a Web site
tracks the progress of Engle, Zahab and Lin, providing information about the
people and
projects they visit. Web visitors can also pledge support on a per-mile basis
for water
projects through H2O Africa, the charitable component of Running the Sahara.

Thanks for writing, Tony. BRRC doesn't have beginners' groups, but 2 Brooklyn running stores, Jackrabbit Sports and Slope Sports (both located on 7th Avenue), both do. I'd suggest either checking out their websites or calling them to see what's available. I believe they both have fees for the groups.

Free of charge, here are a couple of hints about starting out: Most learning about running is accomplished by doing it. Unlike, say, golf or tennis, there is very little technique to it, and all of us have done it before. The key to improving as a runner can be summed up in two words: consistency and building.

1. Consistency. Run and/or walk as many days in the week as you can. It's probably best to start with only about 10-15 minutes, but exercising nearly every day will help you improve. If you're starting out from a base of zero exercise, you can begin by running a block, walking a block, running a block, etc. If you have some sort of exercise base, try 2 blocks running, 1 block walking to start.

I strongly suggest doing the running on dirt or grass if possible, and on asphalt if dirt/grass is not available. Don't run on concrete -- it's much too hard a surface.

2. Building. Gradually build up the total time on your feet, and increase the % of the time spent running. If you stick to it, you will find you'll improve your fitness quite quickly. A caution: the easiest way to get discouraged is to do too much too soon, thereby getting hurt. Listen to your body, and recognize that getting in shape is a long, slow process in which each day builds on the previous ones.

There are many good running books available. The man who's the most popular guru for beginners is pretty Bob Galloway, who advocates a run/walk strategy even for fairly high-level runners. Check out what books of his are available that focus specifically on beginners.

Good luck, and feel free follow up with questions or comments on what is working (or not) for you.

John Shostrom, BRRC team captain

Everyone,

We are in the starting phases of planning a marathon for the great
borough of Brooklyn.  Since everything is booming here, we should have
a marathon to celebrate the old and the new parts of Brooklyn.  We'd
love to have input from runners and triathletes and everyone.  Our
goal is a marathon "by runners, for runners".  We need people in all
areas, so if you love brooklyn and like running and even if you don't
:), please join!!!

The mailing list is

"join this group" to join.

Yes, Adam and I will be there.

Thanks for writing, Isaac. The runs around the park go as long as you want.
Usually we'll do a couple of loops (last week some of us did three). The pace is
about 8 min./mile.

I'll be out of town this weekend, but you'll find plenty of company. Show up at
9 am and look for bright-green BRRC singlets or ask whomever is standing around
if they're with BRRC.

Hope to meet you soon.
