Well, we're finally getting a break in the weather.  I only drank three bottles of water at the track last Tuesday night, instead of my usual four!  Our annual Fall Fun Runs started out well the first week of September with a bunch of the usual suspects, plus two new runners, who both won ribbons.  In fact, Ted set a course record for the 3-mile course.  Way to go!  Remember that the weekly runs are at Rahilly Park this year instead of at Applegate Park.  The MRC Board decided to move the event because car traffic on the streets around Applegate was getting worse and worse.  The course at Rahilly is safer, and just as fun and scenic.

The Merced Gateway Triathlon is the first week in October.  Even if you are not a fanatical triathlete, you can go out for the short course.

The new Merced Running Club jackets are still available, from Superior Threads Embroidery here in Merced.  Call Jerry at 209-358-9341 or 209-617-6651 for questions or to place an order.  You can get your name embroidered on the front if you like.

Go Long,

Dave Simenson

Tuesday nights at the Merced College track: From 5:30-7:15 p.m., jog, do sprints or stairs, or walk in a safe and lighted (in the winter) environment.

Fall Fun Runs are Sep 10 through Oct 29, 2009.  Distances are 1-mile, 2-mile and 3-mile.  Start time is 6:00 p.m. sharp every Thursday, at Rahilly Park.  Note the new location!  The Fall Fun Runs are no longer at Applegate Park, due to car traffic on the streets.

For the rest of the year: meet at the corner of Tuscany Ave. and Reggio Ct. in Merced at 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays for a 1-2 mile warm-up, a 3-mile time trial, and a cool-down. Whether you run sub-7:00 or sub-11:00, this is the place to be!  During hot weather we run along Bear Creek in the shade.
