Running Survey:
A student at A&M Kingsville contacted us requesting help in a running training study he is conducting. He needs you to fill out a 5 minute survey periodically as you train for an event. Let's help him out and contribute to sports research! Here is what he said:
It is a study on runners of any experience level as they are training for a run of any distance - 1 mile all the way up to an ultra. They need to be within the first 25% of their training cycle for the event and over 18. It is a simple series of four surveys, one at the beginning of training, one half way, one ¾, and one post event; each only take about 5 minutes to complete. They will complete the first survey from the link below and then the professor will send them the follow up surveys at the appropriate times. Additionally if they are about to start a training cycle (within the next 1-2 months) but have not yet they are more than welcome to save the link and do the survey when they start. Here's the link:

Mellow Monday- Join us every Monday for a 3 mile recovery run around Memorial Park at 7:00p.m.Runners who are interested should park on the east side of the parking lot in front of the softball fields off of the Picnic Loop. 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.
Wednesday at Rice University: Every Wednesday evening we meet at 6:30 at Rice University (run leaves at 6:40 pm sharp!). All levels are welcome. And the best part is the cheap beer at Valhalla afterwards. Parking is available at First Christian Church/School (1628 Rice Boulevard).
To park in the church parking lot, you need a BCRR bumper sticker. Please see Lisa Thompson for a sticker if you do not already have one.
