VIDEO MESSAGE
Greetings, my athletes! 

I’ll keep this brief, as I’ve included a video message this week. 
https://youtu.be/ml4LaGZ7EGk

Here’s a few quick reminders and updates:

-There’s still time to sign up for the Men’s Four Miler (10/31) 
https://mens4miler.weebly.com/

-And speaking of the Four Miler, I still need about 5 more race day volunteers. Please text me at 434-962-1694 if you can help (masks required at all times). Thanks!

-Leah and I are hosting an important informational meeting, for those racing the Greenbelt Marathon, by Zoom this Wednesday evening at 7:15. She will be sending the zoom link to all who are registered for the race. The session is optional but I hope you can join us. 

RIVANNA GREENBELT MARATHON
Sunday, November 15 (starting between 5:30-6:00am)
Request to Register: https://forms.gle/uWfhG8BeLoAL8yCP9
(If you already received a link, please register before Wednesday so you can get the Zoom link)
VOLUNTEER: https://forms.gle/8SKW6ZPGbpqzJk

-Thanks for communicating when you have any new injury issues crop up or have questions about your training. The best way to get in touch with me, continues to be by text or in person (out front, outside, on benches). 

-Loved seeing a crew of you, socially distanced, running the workout in Bellair, right after I had marked the course. Way to go!   

A great big Happy Birthday to our Linda, who heads into the 70-74 age group on Wednesday! We love you, Linda!

Cheers,
Coach Mark
