Send me an email if you are interested in joining the guys for the Thursday night Tempo Runs at Bluemont Park.  We haven't met yet, but if we can get a couple of guys to commit to showing up every week, we'll start meeting officially.  Let me know at dan_wallace65@hotmail.com if you want to be added to the men's Bluemont run e-mail list.   A women's running group e-mail list is in development.    

Esteemed NOVA member, Fred Carson hosts weekday runs or rides usually in the vicinity of the C&O canal.  If you are interested in joining Fred for a weekday morning runs on dirt and/or a weekday bike ride, contact Fred at fcarson@american.edu.

With spring break plans galore and summer just around the corner, it's always great to find fun and interesting running routes that take you to see the sites of your next vacation destination.  Active.com published a brief article about City Running Tours (http://www.cityrunningtours.com/), who just so happen to have a few site-seeing routes for Washington, D.C., BUT you have to pay to go on these tours.  Surely you can read their landmark listings and create your own route without paying for the tour, but it might be worthwhile to get some local education while on a run.  Their other city tours include Austin, Charleston, Chicago and New York.  You can always use Walk Jog Run (http://www.walkjogrun.net/) or Map My Run (http://www.mapmyrun.com/) to find new running routes in your area or for where you are traveling to.  Isn't it more fun to see a new place on foot?  And what better way to do it than while on a run!
