UPDATE 4/10

It's another week.

We here at the Bluestem Track Club are still plugging away, running miles, eating baked goods, and drinking too much coffee.  This week had a few BTC 5k milestones -

Course record and new leader - Chris Melgares - ran 14:47 to take the lead in the overall competition and Trisha Moore ran 21:03 to take the lead for the women.

First time road racer and former high school real-sports star (football/basketball/baseball) John Frigon went out and made it sting for 22 minutes - a solid debut for sure.

2 time course completer Mary Scharfe went out and did half of the Covid-19 Miler, which is as close as anyone has tried, because that run would SUCK.  Send a recap and pics if you do force yourself to do it.

Here's the whole shebang right now:

There's 10 days left on this thing, so you're getting close on time.  The weather looks awful for the next few days and then - boom - you just have a week left.  Anyway, don't be a pansy and get out there and give it a whirl.

When this thing is over, there's still no races to do, instead of crying about it, try out MRC's virtual race challenge

also, share this on all your social media BS - we are assuming the number of runners is low because of lack of engagement story of my life and not because the runners of Manhattan are a bunch of wusses.

I'm not above resorting to shaming you.

see you from a distance on the roads!
