Suburban Striders Running Club

Fall 2008

Hi Everyone!

The club has gone through some exciting changes the past few months, and with that in mind, we thought it would be fun to have someone else write this note. It’s my pleasure to dust off my writing skills and send along this update.

SSRC heads into fall in high gear. Our new coach, Christine, has brought great energy to the group, varying track workouts, adding some new drills---including hurdle stretches! - and is planning some fall "field trips" for hill workouts and grass and trail runs in the coming months.

The fabulous fall weather means great race opportunities, and I know many of you are gearing up (and tapering down) for fall marathons, half marathons, cross country races and 5 and 10K’s. We hope to do a couple of group races too...if you have a good one in mind, let us know! And good luck to all!

Finally, be sure to check out our new photo…what a group! A warm welcome to our many new members; we’re so glad you’ve joined us. And thank you to our entire membership as we continue to support and inspire each other every week.

See you at the track and on the roads... happy running!
