The Woodlands Running Club

It is already June and time for our annual membership renewal. We will be having a general membership meeting/social at Rico's in Alden Bridge on Sunday, June 23 at 5:30 pm.

Now is the time to renew your TWRC membership. All members can renew and update their membership information via our website. As an added incentive, we will be holding a drawing at Rico's for some prizes for those who have renewed or joined PRIOR to the meeting. Just as a reminder, if you have not renewed your membership since April 1, 2013, it will expire at the end of June.

If you are a part of the TWRC Juniors program, all details for registration can be found under the Juniors tab on the website. All Juniors must be a 2013-14 member of The Woodlands Running Club.

The 6-9-13 Sunday Run!!

Another good run and another good day!

It is that time of the year again.

The Woodlands Running Club and VillaSport have worked out TWO free days for members of TWRC. Saturday and Sunday June 8th and 9th. The Sunday 7 am run will start and finish at VillaSport in the Woodlands. After the run, feel free to use the showers, pools or exercise equipment at VillaSport.

The Villa Café opens at 8:00 am so make plans to hang out for a bit. Can't make the Sunday run but want to check out VillaSport later in the day? No problem, just stop by VillaSport any time on Saturday June 8th or Sunday June 9th between 7:00 am to 8:00 pm and show a state issued ID and tell them you are a member of TWRC. They will check your name against the current membership roster. You will have to sign the standard wavier. Yes - You can bring the family as well. One more benefit of being a TWRC member! Hope to see you there.

Post Race message from Kathleen

I want to thank all the members who volunteered at our aid station and in any other capacity during Saturday's Ironman. We hear it over and over again how an event like this can't happen without volunteers, but it is so true. It's great that we could be a part of it. Special thanks goes out to Randy Bradley for once again organizing and directing Run Station #6. And of course, congratulations to everyone who participated in the event.

Kathleen Eaton

Running notebook: Psych up before training and race day
By Roberta MacInnis | February 27, 2013 | Updated: February 27, 2013 6:51pm

Train hard, race fast. It seems like a simple equation.

But runners who do the physical work without exercising their mental skills may not be performing as well as they could.

This holds true not only for serious competitors but for recreational runners, who are increasingly incorporating sports psychology into their training routines.

Jeff Galloway is an American Olympian and the author of Galloway's Book on Running. A lifetime runner, Galloway was an All-American collegiate athlete and a member of the 1972 US Olympic Team in the 10,000 meters.

Woodlands runners Geri Henry and Tony Allison began running years apart for different reasons, but the two friends recently completed a significant achievement together: they’ve run a marathon in all 50 states.

The friends completed the accomplishment and joined the “50 States Marathon Club” Nov.18 when they completed the Philadelphia Marathon.

“I was so elated. I felt like I had accomplished something,” Henry said.
