Snow!?! So much for the return of our Sunday morning outdoor bike rides. :-) Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little more next week and we can get back on the bikes!
Yesterday was a fun run at the C&O Canal. Although it did take a while to get the DC parking meters to work and to find out where everyone was parked... it turned out to be a pretty successful run. For those of you who don't know, a few of us met a flasher on the trail yesterday. Although filling out a report with the Park Police provided a welcome walk break, it made me think that it might not be a bad idea to keep an eye out for safety alerts regarding the W&OD trail. Sure enough, the Reston Runners had a bulletin posted about an attempted attack about a week ago. I'm sure stuff like this is less likely to occur on a crowded Saturday or Sunday morning, but it is a good reminder that us girls shouldn't really run on these trails alone on the weekdays! Better safe than sorry.
Before we get to the scheduling notes for this week, I want to give a shout out to Hayley Roggia. Hayley and her husband Adam live in Stafford, so it makes it a little difficult for them to join us on our weekly group runs (except for the terrible track workouts that Adam insists on pacing us Marymount DPT students through each Tuesday at lunchtime). But, some of you might have met Hayley and her two children, Ellie and Seth, at my birthday party this past November. Hayley just had an article published on pg. 38 of the March/April 2011 issue of Rocky Mountain Running and Triathlon Magazine talking about running and pregnancy. The full article text is also available on Adam's blog. Congrats, Hayley!
