Week of 11/14/11 - 11/20/11 & Week of 11/21/11 - 11/27/11

Happy Holly-Day, Rogue Racers!  Race results from last weekend are posted.  The Rogue Racers did really well at the Race for Research 5K, despite the short course, and Kelly even got her first division placing!  Had the course been a true 5K, Peter, Tim, and Kelly probably would have gotten 5K PRs.  Looks like we are going to see some fast times at the Turkey Trot!  In other news, Keith ran the Columbia Metric Marathon and got a 26.2K PR and placed 6th overall.  Nice job, Rogue Racers!

The 23rd Annual Virginia Run Turkey Trot is right around the corner.  If you haven't registered, there is still time for online registration.  Please let me know if you plan to attend and I will add your name to our race calendar.  Following the race we will go to Starbucks... all are invited!

Below are the workouts for the next two weeks.  For Monday nights at Chantilly, the workouts will begin promptly at 6:30pm, so please arrive early to do your warm-ups.  For this Saturday at Manassas Battlefield, we will meet at the Stone Bridge parking lot to begin the run.  Hope to see everyone there!

  8. Nancy,

    It's definitely a lot like Burke Lake with a mix of single track, gravel road and grass trails. The hills are a little more challenging. One of the nicest places to run in the area.

  9. Last night's Indian run was fun. Peter started us out at a quick pace for the 6 miles. Sean started to take off for the last mile and I did my best to stay with him. Metric marathon legs are starting to recover.

  12. I will be running the Kinhaven 5k in Arlington tomorrow. I think Peter might be videotaping the race finish. Should have some fast runners. Hoping for a PR on a downhill finish on an up and back course on the WOD.

  13. To the barefoot Rogues and Rogues with kids, the Kinhaven 5k is the place to be next year. They had awards for fastest barefoot/vibram runners and fastest stroller pushers. Very family friendly with face painting and a kids 1k. There was good schwag from the North Face, Power Bar and good food at the finish. You can also head over to the Original Pancake House, like the Freeburns, when it's all over.

  25. I'm really missing these workouts, my last run was on Friday. Doc says I need one more day to heal so I can resume Thursday evening. Will do some long slow runs Thursday/Friday then speed it up over the weekend.
