Lisa Mueller of Adams Morgan. Lisa, a friend of Alexandra Todd is currently training for the DC marathon. Says Lisa“I ran cross country and track a million years ago in high school; but the pub in the basement of the college I went to freshman year broke me of those habits. “ Lisa works downtown at Path-DC.
Sarah Buckheit, of Reston. Sarah is a good master’s runner having posted a 41 minute 10K PR. This past Saturday Sarah won the PVTC by George 8K in 34:18, and on Sunday showed up for the long run.
We are happy to see that Steve Tappan and Marie Sandrock are racing again. Both finished a bit behind Ron McGraw is this half marathon.
“It was a beautiful day and a beautiful course, although I would have preferred a few less hills. I’m pretty happy with the result, especially considering I have backed way off the miles since the aborted marathon attempt at Houston. I felt the lack of long runs particularly during the last 5K as I definitely started to fade coming back to town.
This is quite an honor for us to be featured in such a publication (though we were disappointed that none of our women were included). Anyway, it begs the question why us?
Club Spokesmen Keating & Wadsworth.
Todd Martin has been kind enough to arrange the teams composition for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. We will be fielding two men’s open teams and one co-ed team. For a listing of team members, please see Proprietary Club Documents.
Please, if you have agreed to race, do your best to fulfill your commitment. If you can’t run, try to persuade someone to run in your place. As a socialist collective, we are dependent on everyone pulling her weight. If someone poofs, the entire system goes kaput.
We are happy to welcome Rosalie Parker back into the fold. Rosalie had been traveling in Vietnam as late, but she is now back in DC. There is possibility that a future article about her might appear in Atlantic Magazine. Being a Harvard graduate, former investment banker & a prize fighter is a rather rare combination, and it has attracted media interest.
Speaking of famous prizefighters, we hope over the next few months, Rosalie sees fit to stay in DC and Mike Tyson sees fit to stay out.
Last week, we realied that we’ve been living in this decade for over a year; but still didn’t know its name. The question occured to us: Did they stop naming decades after the millenium celebration? Or were we out of the room when they did the naming?
Well, we have been checking around. In the UK this decade is being called the “noughties”. Since these are the people who created the language, they should know, right?
Now we can sleep peacefully at night.
