The Heat is On!!! – your weekly group update

Hey all!

If you ran in the past few days, I assume you agree with this week's update title. Well actually, I think everybody felt the heat even when just sitting around. So when you're out there on the road kicking off your fall marathon training, or just going for a casual run, make sure you stay hydrated! Some of us ran to Roosevelt Island yesterday morning, and it was pretty challenging because of the heat and humidity. I called them super troopers when they completed ten miles. Whew.

This coming Wednesday is the 4th of July! I know, I know, it's not ideal that Independence Day falls in the middle of the week this year. But regardless, we are still planning on having fun! Our special run to Lemon Ice King of Corona is back once again, with Maydur as our host! Make sure to bring cash if you plan on consuming one (or two, or three...) of these yummy Italian ices, and some extra if you also want to eat food after. Last year we ended up getting tacos and burritos somewhere around the area – we may or may not do it again this time. And oh, don't forget your MetroCard for the ride back! Wear red, white and blue.

And if you can't make it to Italian ices, how about some ice cream with David at Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream in Greenpoint the following day? We know we all like running, but we also like the good stuff to reward ourselves with for the hard work. Same start time and venue as the regular Thursday night run.

Thanks to those who placed orders for our blue team shirts and tanks! I am looking into having them ready for distribution sometime in mid- to late July. This will definitely be great and in time for what I'll be talking about next, which is...

The NYRR Team Championships! We have many of you signed up at this point, but we are always about making the party bigger! And like Erica mentioned last week, there will be potluck picnic after the races... yes, there will be two, as women and men run separately. Hope you can join us! Add it to your calendar for the 28th of July.

And before I go, in case you didn't know yet, our Saturday morning runs have been moved up to 8:30 am because, it's summer!

Run free,

Jason

**Welcome to the Woodside-Sunnyside Runners!** We are based in western Queens, but are not confined to those two fine neighborhoods. Join us from near or far. We have free weekly runs taking place in, around, and beyond our neighborhoods, in addition to special destination runs, social events, and fundraising initiatives.
Read the descriptions of our regularly scheduled runs and RSVP to join a run at [woodsidesunnysiderunners.com](https://woodsidesunnysiderunners.com).
Come for a run with us — we won’t leave you behind, and we won’t hold you back!
**Our values:**
**Participation**: We welcome runners of all paces and levels of experience.
**Community**: We are committed to being a positive force within our neighborhoods.
**Inclusivity**: We are committed to ensuring an environment that includes all our neighbors, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religion.
**Our mission:**
**Participation**: Woodside-Sunnyside Runners seeks to bring together local runners to support each other and the community. We strive to be kind, equitable, and antiracist in making running a sport that is increasingly accessible to all. We are also committed to the physical and emotional safety of our runners. We take measures to ensure that every runner remains safe during our events and in our online platforms.
**Community**: We are committed to being a positive force within our community and actively working toward making our neighborhoods the best they can be.

We regularly organize volunteer opportunities and fundraising events in conjunction with our local community to help fill the gaps created by these injustices.
**Inclusivity**: We are an intentionally inclusive group where difference is valued. The diversity of our membership reflects the diversity that makes our neighborhoods so special. We welcome runners of all backgrounds, paces, and experience levels because we believe diversity makes us all better — better athletes and better neighbors.
