VOTE NOW!!!

Our Tuesday night group track workouts fizzled out over the winter, but it is time to get back on track.  Literally!  I would appreciate it if everyone could reply to this post with their opinion on the following two items:
  1. What day works best for the track workouts?  Monday or Tuesday.
  2. When do you want to start?  This week, next week, etc.
  3. Who will make harder track workouts for us?  Peter or Keith. :-)
Tomorrow (Saturday) we have a couple of exciting things going on.  Keith and Peter will be running in the Manassas Runway 5K/10K.  Everyone needs to think FAST thoughts for Keith.  He needs to achieve less than a 36:50 to get a second qualifying time to be ranked by the Washington Running Report.  Be sure to wish both him and Peter good luck!  For those not racing tomorrow, we will meet at the W&OD trail at 8am for the normal Saturday run.  I think that we will have two groups, a four mile group and a six mile group.  Hope many people can make it out.

If you haven't had a chance to look at our race calendar recently, I have added many new races to the schedule.  On July 4th there is a new race in Fairfax Corner that can be run as a team race.  The inaugural Let Freedom Run 5K would allow us to put our ten fastest 5K'ers onto a team and the fastest four times would count towards the actual group competition (with at least one time being male and one time being female).  Let me know if you are interested, and I will form officially form the team (this has to be done prior to registration).  Then we can compile the fastest men's/women's times and hopefully go for our first Rogue Racers team win.  I don't know if this is incentive, but they are giving out a trophy!  

Lastly, I want to introduce everyone to our newest Rogue Racer.  Many people had the chance to meet Bob at the Race for Hope DC last week.  If you didn't meet him, you might have heard rumor of the crazy TEAM BT barefoot runner.  Check out Bob's profile on our 2011 team roster page.

Happy training,
