Week 1: Complete!, Week 2 Details

| Also listed in: The Front Runners |
This week we had a great run, the first initial run of the Front Runners. A great group of people showed up (about 10), and we went three miles across the mall. People are dressed, warm and ready to go.
For those of you that missed it-- never fear: Run three miles today or tomorrow, and get it done. Keep up your running every Tuesday and Thursday and we'll see you next Saturday, 9AM sharp on the mall (yes, we're going back to the mall).
I have a few logistical notes:
1. We have a new wiki. Here's where we're putting our information-- our "Getting Started" guide and other resources. This is something, along with the PartyBuilder group that you can send your friends to to get them involved. You can get to it here:

For some reason, that index.php5 at the end is important. So make sure to include it.
2. Michael Bassik has been named "Director of Extra-curricular Activities" his job description is as follows:
"Makes certain that after runs, people have the opportunity to connect and go to brunch. Coordinates external resources to make sure brunches and/or lunches are available at least once per week.
Skills: Excellent Taste in Food, Budget consciousness, Coffee Awareness, MS Office 2007 a plus."
He's good at that.
2. Rosalyn Lemieux has now been dubbed "Director of Transportation" and while her overall responsibilities are not to get everybody to the training runs, they will be to get everybody to Nashville. She'll be figuring out the van situation, and how we're all getting down/getting back.
3. At about mile 5, we will probably need to start bringing water and snacks to the runs. This is in two weeks. Can you commit to bringing enough water for everybody and some snacks one week? If everybody takes a couple, then we'll be in good shape. If you could sign up to take a week, that would be great.
4. Next week we're on the mall again. Here's our course for next Saturday's 4 mile run:

It's basically the same course we ran today, but we're running around the Lincoln instead of in front of it, and we're running down to 3rd street instead of 7th. That'll be a nice 4 mile jog, again starting at 9AM on the mall.
5. A lot of people are interested in running the Cherry Blossom 10 miler before the big race. Are you? Let me know and we'll put a group together. Here's the link:
