HELLO BAYOU CITY ROAD RUNNERS –
Hope you all survived a wild New Year's Eve at the Modern! Thanks Lisa for ending the year with a bang!
BCRR - get ready to set records running in the new year!!
****************************** ******************************
Join us for a BCRR annual tradition Sunday, January 8th!
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! 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 will 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!
****************************** ******************************
BCRR Shirts!!
We will have singlets, t-shirts, and long sleeve BCRR tech shirts available for sale at Valhala in January. Just in time to represent BCRR in the marathon!
$10 –Singlets & T-shirts
$15 – Long Sleeve

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.
