Hey Everybody,
Let’s meet up before the Scotland Run on Saturday at 8:30 AM. We’ll meet in the usual spot – down on the L train platform at Bedford by the cop-in-a-box booth and head to the race together. The race doesn’t start until 10 and the weather is supposed to be the exact opposite of last year (which was rainy and freezing). Should be a fun one! Here’s the map of the course. It’s the hard way around the loop but the hills are over early.
I know some folks are planning on running back to Brooklyn after if anyone is interested. See you then!
-Matt

Injury Prevention & Treatment Workshop
Injured? Don’t want to be? Either way, you should attend this informative workshop. Physical Therapist Jill Hoefs will be offering tips on how to prevent injuries, how to treat injuries, and how to recover from injuries. This is a must-attend for anyone who wants to run as much as they would like to. Being injured sucks – so let’s prevent it and figure out how to recover as quickly as possible. Open to members and friends. Free!
Date: Monday, April 5th
Time: 8:30pm-10pm
Where: Greenpoint Reformed Church – 136 Milton Street – Greenpoint, Brooklynn

Whether you are a member who’s injured, have never come on a run, didn’t get into the NYC Half, or just love muffins… COME VOLUNTEER AND JOIN US AT THE NBR WATER STATION at the NYC Half on the 21st! It’s going to be a blast, mixing up gatorade and screaming for thousands of runners (and a couple dozen of our own) in Central Park on the first Sunday of Spring.
Mary has promised to bring her world-famous PB+J muffins for all of the volunteers but ONLY if we can get at least 25 people!
So far we have about 10.
You DO NOT have to be a runner– so coerce your roommates, significant others, friends who owe you favors, students, and family members to come join us.
This team volunteering opportunity is one of two parts to help us get 2-4 spots for some of our members in THIS YEAR’S NYC Marathon!
Do NOT sign up through NYRR, please sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/nbrvolunteers or email us — I am submitting a list to NYRR.
SIGN UP BY MONDAY 3/15!
NBR <3,
Aja

Q: What’s a “Club Points” Race?
A: Through New York Road Runners, NBR is an officially recognized team, which means when you register for races, you can affiliate with our team! NYRR designates certain races each year (usually one a month) that are club points races, meaning, they are specifically targeted for teams to compete against one another. The better your top 5 men and 5 women do in these races, the more points we can earn. All the points are totaled at the end of the year to rank the teams. NBR has been making a great showing It’s mostly just for fun, for us anyway!
