Damn you Groundhog!!! Your Weekly Update

From: Woodside-Sunnyside R.
Sent on: Monday, March 13, 2017, 10:16 AM

Hello Chilly Runners,

 

What a frigid weekend. Nevertheless we persisted! I am so impressed with all the running that happened this past week despite the cold temps. Mandy and Sue even paid a Woodside-Sunnyside visit to the Fearless Girl on Wall Street. As Tito says “cold is not so much a force when you have the warmth of the pack.”

 

Sadly, it’s not looking good for tomorrow’s 6@6 or evening run. Please keep your eye out on facebook and meetup to see whether these runs are happening. If the conditions are not safe, we will have to cancel. We can brave the cold, but icy sidewalks, not so much.

 

As you may have heard on Facebook, Heather is taking a step back from the Sunday LSD Run. Two and a half years ago, Heather launched the LSD run and made it a true force within WSR. Her runs, encouragement, and friendship have helped us through countless marathons and half marathons and made life-long distance runners out of many of us. THANK YOU HEATHER!

 

Fear not, the LSD run will remain a staple of the group. We will be rotating leadership going forward – more information on that to come. Please email us at [address removed] if you are interested in leading an occasional long run. **Please note that the LSD runs are scheduled for Saturdays during the month of March (due to several scheduling conflicts on Sundays this month), but will move back to Sundays in April and onward.**

 

Please note that our our March challenge is well underway. Submit your idea for an adventure run! Whoever submits the most creative run will win a gift certificate for a facial from our friends at Pure Spa and will get to lead their run in April or May. To enter, send us an email at [address removed] and describe your fun run. 

 

Last reminders: The QDR Queen’s marathon and Tune Up is coming up on March 26. Several members are running and many of us will volunteer and cheer; 3) Save the date for the second annual LIC Post Run the Waterfront 5k on June 3.

 

Stay warm,

Erica
