Striders!

Hope everyone is staying healthy, distanced, and keeping motivated during these times! I’m really enjoying the challenges that Brandyn Naro has been throwing out here in the discussion group!

First off, congrats to Catherine McNamara for setting a new mile PR as part of the GCS Team Marathon Relay! If you or someone you know has run a PR, please let me know!

Annual Meeting
I would like to also congratulate Jeremy Berger, Diane Dunklee Clifford, Mark Crane, Mark Furler, Amanda Naro, Carolina Keri Tumminelli and Lori Vance for their election/reelection to the board. Looking forward to serving with you all. Since we cannot meet as a group, we’ve included all of the updates that would have been given at the meeting, in the google doc below. Please look it over, and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

I hear Brandyn Naro has a virtual ultimate runner challenge coming up soon, and newer strider Scott Rogers is currently working on a charity virtual 5k that will raise some money for a good cause. Look for that very soon!

Take care, stay safe, be smart and we’ll all see each other again soon!

There is still PLENTY of room to come join us at indoor track on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

First come, first served with precedence to anyone who has signed up for the entire workout. You’ll still need to fill out the waivers but bring exact cash or a check made out to the Gate City Striders and check in with the coaches to pay and get the wristband.

The coaches are there to help guide you thru and give lap times. Just like at outdoor track. All paces are absolutely welcome. Come join us next Tuesday if you’re curious. Recreational night is similar to a Couch to 5k program.
