Hi, sweaty, sparkly runners – here is what we have going on this week:

·      T-Shirts have been ordered but haven’t arrived just yet. Stay tuned.

·      The Summer Olympics in Rio are approaching, so we have decided to host our very own Olympic games! Please save the date for the Woodside-Sunnyside Runners Olympics on Saturday, August 6. This will be fun morning filled with a few serious and plenty of goofy competitions (think 4X4 relays and three-legged races). Teams will be randomly assigned in advance of the event, so please RSVP: http://goo.gl/e2lsis

·      Another save-the-date: two Saturdays from now (July 30) is the NYRR Team Championships race in Central Park, and we’re having a post-race picnic: http://goo.gl/273p60 If you aren’t running, come to cheer and join the picnic!

·      Spotlight on the Mid-Packers LSD Run. LSD stands for Long Slow Distance, but don’t let the “Long” intimidate you. This run usually takes place on Sunday but sometimes switches to Saturday (as it does this week), and has distances varying between 10-22 miles. The routes and distances change from week to week, and there are shorter options to be had if you want to join but don’t want the full distance. Check them out!

·      ALSO – the Mid-Packers are looking for someone to lead the 11-12 minute mile pace group for their LSD runs. Let Heather Laurel know if you are interested- she can be reached on Facebook, or we can put you in touch with her- email [address removed]

 Watch this space and the WSR Facebook group for updates and new additions to the schedule. If you are not yet a member of the group’s secure discussion area, please follow the link below, while signed in to Facebook, or message your organizer for assistance.
