A couple of Quick things

First off I was asked to remind those who live on the east side and plan to run with us Saturday that the 520 bridge will be closed so as they said you'll have to go over I90 or use a kayak.

Secondly I'm looking for some volunteers for July 16th from 4:30 until 9:30 to help out at the Washington Games. If you haven't seen a track meet up close and personal then here is a great opportunity. Most of you will help out with the events, info:

The July 16 Club Northwest Summer All-Comers Track & Field Meet will be a special event! The meet will be an official track & field competition of the inaugural Washington Games, with special medal awards and tee-shirts for all entrants. Complete information for the all-comers series is on the Club Northwest Web Site. But we will start early that night! Kid's events and the pole vault competitions will begin at 5 p.m., and the schedule will be adjusted beyond that point to a low for the many more entries we expect that night.

No pre-entry is necessary. Everyone who enters Shoreline District Stadium will be charged an admission or entry fee. Standard entry fees for our meets apply.

If you volunteer you get a shirt and either or both a concessions snack-meal and pizza after wards. I'll be out taking pictures of the event, which means I won't be in Kirkland for the workout. You don't have to be a group member to help out. If you're interested let me know and I'll send out more info as I get it.

Nice to see the attendance pick up this week at the workouts, nice to see you taking it seriously especially those training for a fall marathon. Time to get going if you are. I posted a photo gallery on the site from the workouts.

Speaking of training for the fall we are getting a lot of new members so if you see a new face in the crowd say howdy. I think the hardest thing about joining the group is just coming out for the first time. It's a bit intimidating for most to just jump into to big group lean mean running machines like yourselves :)
