Okay, we are eight days away from the GAR and not a word has been said about it on these boards. This is the Striders signature race - the one that most area runners shoot to do well in. Let's get some discussion started. What do people think about only the 15k counting towards Striders Circuit Points this year? Do you think that is fair and that the 5k will be small or that most people who run the 5k will continue to do so and lose the oppurtunity for points?

I am happy to hear that the 15k counts for points on the circuit. At least I will have three of the eight this year. I assume, though, that Jimmy will stop me from winning my third straight 15-19 age group title. Or maybe Marc. I don't know or even really care.
I just wanted to reply to Jaron, and get another post so I am one step farther to changing my status from "New Member."
That is all.

Just wanted to fill you guys in on the field. On the womens side Susan Graham-Gray is coming. I recieved an e-mail from Nick Gramski that he, Matt Baressi and Edmund Burke are probably coming. They will give me a definite answer early next week. For out-of-town runners that is all I know of now. Whoever is geeting the race applications may have more info. Good Luck to all who are running.

Good to hear that the men's field will most likely have a good race up-front. Although, those guys do train together. Could just end up being a tempo run with a sprint at the end for the cash.
Also, will there be a Runner's Forum as there has been the night before?

Dan, I wish I could challenge for the title this year but I'm pretty sure my next race will be Turkey Day. But Jimmy has been training for the 15k and I expect him to finish it pretty high. With both GAR and the Main Street Mile (same week as our confrences) he should be able to win the age group in both the GAR and the QCS.

Dennis, I was wondering if you had heard anything about the full-time model for Brooks Apparel, Danny Fink? I see that he has been running a 5k about every weekend - so it looks like he may be gearing up for a run at the Master's title. He ran 16:31 at Links to Lake this past weekend, but I am pretty sure it is a fast course. He also ran 15:57 or so at the Labor Day 5k in Washington, PA. But if you can't break 16 there, then you couldn't do it jumping out of an airplane.
