Thanks Gil!

In 3 weeks Gill took about 20 people from "Hi I wanna start running" to a basic understanding of warming up, stretching, correct form and pacing techniqus.

This group will continue to meet Saturday mornings and we are looking forward to some of them will be joining our "long runs" soon.

Way to go Gil

The 5K race - May 2, 2009 - 10 a.m to 1 p.m.

Maybe not such a competitive event but could be lots of fun for kids and all of the proceeds got to The PTA of your choice.

This looks like more than just a race. You can Race/Walk/Kid Bike. There will be a post race brunch.

In Case Your Ballot Was Damaged

If your ballot for the April 2009 PPTC elections was seriously damaged in the mail, here is what to do: 1- Notify Mike Rieman of the damage (MERieman@aol.com) . Please provide your home address, especially if you are have joined PPTC within the last three months. 2- Mike will mail you a replacement ballot. Please save the damaged ballot if possible and return it along with your replacement ballot.
The deadline remains the same: Ballots should be postmarked no later than April 2, 2009.

Another election issue: do not remove the ballot numbers. Ballots returned without numbers cannot be counted. The numbers are there to ensure that the ballots are not copies but are the official ones. Be assured your anonymity is safe. There is no master list of names that might be used to cross check numbers to names.
Thanks

Great Job Gil Torres!!!

I just got back from the first installment of the Beginner's Runners Workshop. I ain't no beginner but I sure got some learning.

About 20 newbies showed up and all had a great time. For some it was there fist loop around the Park.

Next week there will be lessons on interval training (or fartleks for us oldsters).

All welcome!

Beginners' Workshop Series Kicks Off
First in Three-Part Series Begins Saturday

Gil Torres, Kirsten Marino and Katie Muladore will be leading a three-session workshop starting this Saturday, March 14th, at 8 a.m. designed specifically for beginner runners. This pilot program is in collaboration with Slope Sports and grew directly from our success with the joint group runs. We are reaching out to runners who feel they are too slow or inexperienced to do long outings with the big group. Each session will illustrate practical tips that will help runners stick with a program, develop good technique and progress gradually and safely towards their goals. All paces are welcome. We’ll be regrouping at specific points along the run and nobody will be left behind. We’ll meet on the sidewalk at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park. The program is free and we encourage you to attend all three sessions. Non-club members are welcome.

Can we recruit this guy?

Our group runs will never be boring

What if.....

What if it snowed like this last week when we put on the Cherry Tree Race? We invited over 700 people to the park for a 10 mile race. I am really glad we did not have to answer that question. But the park sure was beautiful today.

The plows came by at 8:45AM . Unfortunately, I stepped to the wrong side of the plow as it passed. So I got plowed.

We had a good showing. ChickenUnderwear was planning on running this race but chickened out due to a forcast of sleet that never came. I joined the PPTC group run on Saturday instead. So did Hills are my friends and One Runners World. They did not chicken out, they just bloged about the group run.
