Our club run of the month: a flat fast 5K. So if you missed the Johnny Lawson Challenge, here's another one locally. Also a perfect 3.1M time trial practice for my groups - so come out and give it go; you will be done and out of there in short order. This run will also be a good practice for the XC 4M on 11/18 in GG Park (see below)
Held in front parkinglot by gym.

This gives you a chance again to experience XC at its finest right in nearby GG Park. Note: Alyce and the others who missed out on the last XC, here's another chance to get in another race relatively close by.
No pavement, just grass fields and dirt/sandy trails. I'd like to see a good turnout for this one with our women's teams: just showing up will help with Tamalpa Team scoring. Seeing many Tamalpans in the field is exciting. Only sorry Deb Rushman cannot run, so support the teams by coming out to run!
SPLITS:
> So sorry to see that our newest member to join Tamalpa and be there for the women's racing team, DEB RUSHMAN, has sustained a stress fracture in her foot. Deb is not only a talented runner, but full of enthusiasm to compete with a team; we're lucky to have her onboard - and her husband Jon also. Deb and Jon, have been a delight to meet and just recently came over from England to California. Deb was sidelined on Saturday, but cheered on Jon who ran for the club and came in 13th MMen with a 25:45 which certainly helped our team scoring. DEB must wait for about 6 weeks for that stress fracture to heal - but it will heal! It's, of course, so frustrating to be on the sidelines when she was racing so well. But she will be back!.
> more to come on Results from JOHNNY LAWSON CHALLENGE last Saturday; where were some of you?
Can you believe that new Master runner, JIM SORENSEN who won by two minutes! Turns out he has quite an illustrous history in athletics...
