San Francisco FrontRunners

Here’s another does of Weekly Recap!

Happy Fridayl! Time to recap everything FrontRunners from the past week. We’ve compiled photos and links to help give a good summary of the happenings of this last week, and we encourage you to explore the post at your own leisure.

Here we go!

This last week we continued Interval Training with SF Track & Field Club, began a push to get everyone up-and-running (pun intended) on the new sffr.org site, and made some great new website features… all in addition to our usual runs!

SF Track and Field Club Interval Training: On Saturday, SF Track & Field Coach Chris Goodwin substituted for Dominic Paris, conducting the Crossfit training program in Golden Gate park. Almost a dozen FrontRunners ran from station to station to participate in the various physical exercises. Those who missed the Crossfit training on Saturday joined the club on Sunday for interval training workouts at SFSU at 10am, also coached by Chris. Tom Setser of Road Runner Sports and his partner Robert joined SFTFC members for long distance running as well as some jumps on the grass. The routine included not only short sprints, but also do squats, situps, leg extensions to keep their bodies fit and lean.

As always, inquiries can be emailed to Bob at callori@sbcglobal.net

May Registration-O-Rama: As we unveiled the new site, we have begun to get members, new and existing, to register at the new site. If you haven’t had time to do it yet, or just need some help getting everything sorted, we are making the month of May our drive to get everyone registered at the new site. You will receive info on Monday with details on how to register if you still need to. We will also be helping with registration on-site at May Bagel Brunch and possibly another social event (details to come). As a little extra incentive, we are cutting off any old forms of communication from old email lists at the end of May, so getting at least your basic profile on the new site will be a must if you want to receive weekly emails and updates. Feel free to email vp@sffr.org with any questions you have.

New Features on SFFR.ORG: We are set to unveil some changes coming in May and are excited to show you this coming week. We will be looking for new contributors with our new features, so if you are interested in helping out and trying your ideas in the club, keep an eye out for news on May 1st!

Pride Run Sponsor Party Reminder: The Pride Run Sponsor Party is coming up on May 3rd. Most of you received emails with info on it already, but here is the full scoop (link). There will also be an additional Sponsor Party… details to come!

Member Card Reminder: If you have renewed or signed up for FrontRunners for 2012, you can pick up your card at any Saturday after the runs. You can also arrange for a time to get your card with any of the Board Members or other club contacts. Please note that we will be printing names for recently renewed/joined members every 2 weeks, so if you have renewed in the last week, you won’t have a card printed until a week from now. Also, if you have accidentally damaged or ruined your card (washing machines, me are looking at you), you can email vp@sffr.org for a replacement.

As always, we welcome submissions for events, photos, news articles, and columns.

That covers it for this last week.

Enjoy your weekend and see you at the runs!
