Greetings NOVA Runners,
Practice will be at 6:30 P.M. at Wakefield High School.
We have reached the time of year where we need to start thinking about
next year's NOVA leadership roles. We will need someone to run for
president as well as other positions on NOVA's board--Mark and Samantha will not be able to do it next year. This has been a great year and I (Samantha--can only speak for myself) enjoyed setting things in motion and doing my part to contribute to the club after being a passive member for many years. I have no regrets being co-president and I will be
available to help the next president of NOVA, as the previous presidents
have helped Mark and I. Please let Mark (mad-241@hotmail.com), Samantha (sam@tecole.com) and Amanda (mandy13082@aol.com) know if you are interested in running for a club position.
Anyone interested in hosting a Cookie Run please e-mail Samantha and Mark.
We are still holding Thursday night tempo runs at 5:30 P.M. If you are
interested in running with us or leading a run (if you lead a run you
can choose the time to have others meet you), please e-mail Samantha
(sam@tecole.com) and Dave Wertz (wertzdf@hotmail.com).
See you out there,
Mark Drosky (mad-241@hotmail.com) &
Samantha Cole (sam@tecole.com)

| Tuesday Track: 6:30 P.M. | |
This Tuesday, Track will be at 6:30 P.M. at Wakefield High School this week, located at 4901 South Chesterfield Road, Arlington,VA. Be sure to arrive early to warm-up and stretch properly before the workout. |
| Coach Jerry's Workout |
We had another week of excellent performances, led by huge PRs in the half marathon by Amanda and Coast Guard Mike. Well done! We're in the heart of racing season, and there are many, many races to choose from at all distances for the next several weeks, so I strongly encourage all of you to get out there and compete.
This week we will make our triumphant return to Wakefield, which is my preferred location, and I know we'll have a huge crowd on Tuesday to mark the occassion. The workout will be 3 x 1200 with a 400 jog, then 4 x 400 with a 200 jog. As always, if you have any questions, give me a holler. See you out there tomorrow.
Coach Jerry
