Congratulations to Amy Tan on completing the Chicago Marathon in 3:51:10 (BQ!)
Kudos to Hong Tang for completing 55 mies of the UTMB 100km ultramarathon—Kodiak 100K—a
61-mile, 20-hour footrace along the Pacific Crest Trail in California,
with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain at high altitude. He took a
wrong turn and missed the time cutoff for the last 6 miles, but what an
accomplishment! |

Thanks go to Chris Eick
for sponsoring the tab last week at Valhalla! We had a great turnout
and a surprise appearance from our newest and youngest member: Isabel Young
(approximate position indicated by the red arrow)! To be honest, she
seemed unimpressed with the gathering and actually slept through
everything, so we have something to work on in the future. (photo:

This week's Birthday Tab will be sponsored by Kathi Mahon, who will also provide pizza! This will be our 25th week of sponsored Valhalla tabs!
The Wednesday run, as always, starts at 6:30PM sharp from the First Christian Church Parking lot. |

Harvest Marathon Relay - Nov. 2nd
Get on a BCRR Team! Weekend
Double Header: Run for autism charity on Saturday, Nov 1 at Alex's 5K
and run to reduce hunger on on Sunday, November 2 at at the Houston Food
Bank's Harvest Marathon Relay! The Houston Food Bank will be sponsoring a fundraising Relay Marathon, and BCRR is going to sponsor two teams of 10 persons each ($1000 total), so we just need runners! If
we can gather 10 people per team to run 2.5 miles each (1/4 mile at a
time) we can do a good deed for the Houston Food Bank, and get some good
PR for BCRR, and have a lot of fun doing it! BCRR has sponsored teams
for the last few years - run at no cost to you! Contact Steve Hasson (shasson@earthlink.net)
if you are interested in helping out. The Relay Marathon is Sunday,
November 2, at 7:00am, on the Wendell D. Ley Track at Rice University.
