Happy Hour:  (January 30, 2015) Last week's HH at Nouveau Antique Art Bar was a bust because they were closed for a private event. Let's hope we fare better this Friday at Nouveau, 2913 Main Street, Houston, TX 77002 at 6:30 p.m.

BCRR Midweek Update- HH Venue Change

Thank you to everyone who reached out to me letting me know that Leon's Lounge is no longer open for business. On that note, this Friday's Happy Hour venue has been changed to Nouveau Antique Art Bar, 2913 Main Street, Houston, 77002 at 6:30 p.m. 

Many of you have so graciously made donations to fund scholarships for my school's running club. If you're interested in meeting and running with them, we invite you to our Steps for Students Kick Off Fun Run and Walk this Saturday, January 25th at 8:00. We'll have parking at the Saint Francis of Assisi School lot at 5100 Dabney Street, Houston, Texas 77026 starting at 7:30. Runners will then walk to the bayou one block towards the church. For those of you recovering from Houston, it will be a short, easy run- nothing over 3 miles.

Happy Wednesday and have a great rest of your week!

BCRR Midweek Update: GRB Run and Pre-Marathon Pasta Dinner

Join us for a BCRR annual tradition this Sunday (January 11th)! 

Instead of running the usual River Oaks Route, our Sunday run with be the last 6 miles of the marathon (from Memorial Park to the GRB) and back for a total of 12 miles! Gatorade stops at Mile 3 (near the cemetery), at the GRB turnaround (mile 6), and the cemetery again at mile 9. Since it's an out and back course, it's easy to run as little or as much of the 12 miles as you want! We meet at 6:30 am on Sunday morning at the Tennis Center as usual. It's a great way to envision crossing the line one week later. See you there!

Save the Date for the PRE-MARATHON CARB LOADING DINNER:  Get your carb load on on Thursday, January 15th at The Spaghetti Western at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is $15. RSVP to Sam McMurtry at samantha_mcmurtrey@hotmail.com or  sammack1967@gmail.com to reserve your spot. 

Please note that space is limited!

 

*Please note the original email address I provided for Sam was incorrect. These two email addresses are the correct ones to RSVP for the Pre-Marathon Dinner. My apologies for the error!
