Emmett Rahl Column - May 2003 (AREC Club Notes)

T-Shirts. Tanks and T-shirts are here! If you have joined AREC, there is a shirt or tank waiting for you. Non-members can buy a shirt for $10 (but membership is just $25).

Safety. Daylight Saving is here, but please do not skimp on your safety. Since most of our run is in the street or parking lot, please give cars the right-of-way! Please try to avoid wearing headphones – besides, there are plenty of people who will run AND sing with you!

Pass the Word. Please feel free to invite friends to run and walk with us. As the weather gets warmer, the cool evening is a great time to run and then to hang out afterwards. Also, with hashing moving to Thursday nights, there is a void in your regular running schedule. Let’s build up the Sunday group to the size of Wednesdays!

Alternate Courses. I still hear from ARECers that they would like to try alternative courses. If you can find a similar distance course, talk to any of the board members and perhaps the club will give it a try! We’re always welcome to suggestions.

New Runners. Most of all, I just want to remind everyone to have fun! On weeks that there are new runners, please make an effort to run with them so that they get to know the course. Someday they might get faster and deign to run with you, OR bring someone your speed.

Results and Upcoming Races. As always, please let me know if you are running or have run a race. Some events are more fun if you run with your AREC friends!
