Greetings from your NOVA President,
On Tuesday at the track we'll have a special guest, Charlie Ban of the Georgetown Running Company. He´s going to talk briefly about his Father's Day 8K Race scheduled for next week and anything else you may want to know about GRC. He'll then stick around for the workout so feel free to ask him about shoes, the store or anything else running related.

Next Sunday you can also watch the Washington D.C. Triathlon. If you get up early enough, watch the swimmers swim under the Memorial Bridge. I know a few NOVA members entering this event so we'll be rooting for you!

| Coach Jerry's Workout |
Gang, we've had great turnouts the last couple of weeks, and I'm sure that trend will continue tomorrow. The weather should be favorable, and we have a new after practice gathering spot, so there are no more excuses. The workout for tomorrow will be 4 x 800, 4 x 400, all with a 400 jog. As always, if you have any questions, give me a holler. See you out there tomorrow.
Coach Jerry
