GOOD MORNING BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS –
****************************** ******************************
Chevron Houston Marathon Recap:
Congratulations to all of those who ran the Chevron Marathon & the Aramco Half Marathon!! It was a TOUGH weather day, but the crowd support was motivating! Several runners had the race of their life and others were so grateful to finish. Above all – BCRR showed up strong!!
*WANTED* Have a great race day story from Sunday? Email christinabcrr@gmail.com to share in a future newsletter!
· Chris & Lynn McGrew for toting our gear to the aid stations - It was a relief to have it ready and waiting
· Katie Decker & Susan Cita for such support at miles 13 & 20 - A friendly face was much needed!
· Sue & Alan, Chuck & Cheryl, and Jim & Ivy for a fantastic post-marathon party - You definitely helped replenish those hard lost calories!
· And THANK YOU to all who photographed, cheered, and motivated the runners along the course! 26.2 & 13.1 miles seem much shorter when you have friends all along the way!

WEEKLY CLUB RUNS:
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.
Friday Speedwork (Memorial Park 5:30 AM): Contact Peter Griffiths for more information- p_griffiths@ bellsouth.net
