Sorry for the delay getting thenewsletter to everyone. Theyalways say,
time flies when youare having fun
. Well it goes evenfaster when you are not!You all know the balancing actof WORK, FAMILYandTRAINING. It is such a fine linewe walk each day. Everyoneexpects a lot from us and beingthe competitive type, we expecta lot of ourselves. But, just like running; keep breathing, relaxand set some short term goals. Ok, I am better know.You will see from the cover that we had a good turnout for theClub Championships in Central Park this summer. Our VeteransMen’s and Women’s Teams did great. Anyone over 50 year oldin a TACONIC singlet, sends fear through the corrals of justabout any NYRR race. In order to keep up our reputation, wereally need to add depth to our teams. Runners of all ages andabilities are needed. You don’t have to be super fast, just runningmay qualify the team for points in a particular division. Andplease, don’t forget to claim your club affiliation (TRR) on yourNYRR race application.Also on the cover is Chief Hoyer of the US Army, D Company,2-108th Infantry Regiment. On September 11th, TRRC spon-sored a 5k race in Afghanistan. Men and women of the US mili-tary along with runners from several other national forces joinedtogether to run and remember the events of September 11th,2001. The Taconic logo was represented on the race tee shirt.Those shirts are available through Cathy Groneman if you wouldlike to purchase one.Don’t forget; take a deep breath in, hold it, exhale, relax... good.Peace,GeorgeEditor
