BRC Members Newsletter

Welcome

Newsletter - May 10, 2010 

Greetings Runners!

 I hope you all had a great weekend despite the semi miserable weather. Certainly the weather can only get better for the Mississauga events this weekend…right?

Kudos to those of you who endured a long 32k or similar run in prep for one of the upcoming Halifax/Ottawa/other races! Myself, I took it easy with a couple of 11k runs as I taper for Mississauga Marathon this weekend.

Saturday Group Runs

Although chilly, Saturday morning with The Beaches Runners Club /Achilles group run was nice. It would be great to see more runners out though. I will try to post reminders but let it be known, there will always be a group run Saturday mornings at 8:30 by the Woodbine Beach parking lot right by the covered picnic area. There will always, likely, be someone who has driven there for somewhere to store our jackets, bags etc. Post run refreshment plans will be made on a week to week basis. This week we had 7 BRC members out along with about a dozen from Achilles. Our own Nir was lucky enough to guide Geeza , an Achilles Athlete / blind runner on a very fast 15km run. Although most of us ran 10-11k, we did not have to wait long for them to get in!

Again, we would love to see more BRC runners out there. (And if possible, wear your shirts to help promote the club).

Next Group Social Evening

We are looking to schedule our next BRC Social Evening. I will be posting a poll on the website with a couple of questions to gather info on what weekend is good/bad for you and as to whether we would like to do a potluck, or head back to The Fill Station. BRC member Melanie has graciously offered up her home for a potluck evening so maybe we could take advantage of that offer.

Housekeeping

For those of you who have yet to….

Please contact me so we can take care of these items. Also, if you have sent a cheque for Athletics Ontario, we will be forwarded them this week so you can expect to see that go through.

That’s all for now. If you have anything you would like to add, ask or say, let me know, or post it on our Members Forum. In fact right now, you may want to visit the forum to see about offering or getting a lift to the Mississauga events next Sunday. And remember, the Gardiner is closed to you will need to go to the 401 route.
