Wow! Another great racing weekend for our crew, as we had fast times at the Community Bridges 5K, Army 10 Miler and the Chicago Marathon!
Here’s just a small sampling of these great performances:
*Community Bridges
-Andrew Y. 2nd overall (16:54) and Teresa 3rd overall (18:20)!
-Age Group winners: Ian (19:57!), Lauretta (4th overall-18:30), Alex (5th overall-18:47) and Hosni.
-2nd in age group: Peggy, Bob J. and Jim (18:34!)
-3rd Heidi and George.
Other 5K efforts of note: Larry and Jake (both sub 8:00 pace), Megan M. (4th ), Kenny and Erik, Peter T., Katie R., Kristen H., The Gonellas.
*Army 10 Miler
-Jason B. ((57:14), Ali (60:48), Shawn (57:57), Gaby (68:15), Natalie K. (63:00)!
*Chicago
-Carter (2:45:34), Joan B. (3:14), Bill P. (4:28) and Sophie L. (3:18) are just a few of the folks I’ve heard from that had really solid races in what turned out to actually really be the “very windy city”!
-A huge thanks to Leah, Lisa D., Anne C., Nicole, Christian, Ellen, Brian and Dr. Bob, who were a big help to me at the race yesterday!
-Please mark your calendars for October 28 to come meet UVa’s new head T&F and XC Coach Vin Lananna and hear about his vision for the future of the program. Vin is a legend in our sport, having guided the Oregon Ducks to national dominance over the past 15 years and having served as our Head U.S. Track Coach for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and we’re so happy to have him
here in Cville with us. I’ll let you know the time of the event next week (probably 6:15or 6:30 at Ragged).
**IMPORTANT: Those of you who are getting to run your marathon and half marathons in the coming weeks, please set up a time to meet with you so we can go over your race day pace game plan. This is one of my favorite aspects of coaching!
*As an FYI, for the fall, I’m now taking Mondays off, so I’ll be in the shop all the other days of the week, including Wednesdays.
*24 Hour Rule: As a reminder, please contact me within 24 hours of having a new pain crop! The quicker you communicate the faster we can get it out of your life!
*Happy Birthdays to Janice D. (Thursday), Winslow (Friday) and Paul H. (Saturday)!

I hope to see many of you on Wednesday morning!

Cheers!
