HELLO BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
To all who trained, raced, PR’d, FINISHED, and competed in yesterday’s half and full marathon. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a running tour of Houston.
PS. If you would like your race results reported in next week’s email, please reply back.
To all who supported, cheered, encouraged, and provided for the participants. Without such an AMAZING support group, the accomplishments of our runners would not be possible.
Especially thanks to:
· Susan Cita & Katie Decker for the management of the Hoopla Stations! The familiar BCRR logo was a refreshing sight to many!
· Sue Leone, Adam Svoboda, Cheryl Verlander, Chuck Bracht, Ivy Martino, and Jim Knievel for hosting an outstanding post-race party! The recovery was better with such good food and company.

The goal is to increase membership and recruit new members with this new social event. Following a loop around Memorial, we head to a dinner venue for post running fun. **Please note that in cases of inclement weather, i.e. thunder & lightning, Mellow Monday will be cancelled for safety reasons.
