Greetings Runners,
Here’s to the start of RRR week – may your studying go smoothly, and
your finals find you well! In short, we’re going to mix it up a bit in
this final week of runs and offer a variety of officer-led runs at
different times. If none of those times work for you, you’re still
welcome to meet at the fountain at our regular time of 5pm, but there
isn’t anything officially scheduled for that time, so you would end up
going on an “unofficial” run of your own devising, based on who shows
up! Same deal for Finals week – no official runs planned, but feel free
to pop by the fountain at 5pm if you’re free, or collaborate with other
runners via the Facebook page to find times that work amidst the chaos
of studying.
Want to take a break from studying (besides by going on a run, that is)?
We’re having a casual potluck affair on Wednesday at 6pm, to celebrate
the end of the semester. Expect food and games! RSVP to
calrunningclub@gmail.com and/or sign up via the event on our CRC
Facebook page for the address.
Finally, a big thanks to all of you who came out and ran with us this
semester – join us again this spring at the fountain for another round
of runs, feasting, races, and mayhem!
Happy Running,
–Kathleen
