Empire One Running Club

THIS WEEK'S RUNNING FORECAST 😒
Scattered disappointment, gusts of annoyance, and a significant chance of dread.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝟴𝗞 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

We expect everyone to go through the classic stages of running grief:

🙄 𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗟: "Maybe the website's wrong. It often is."

😡 𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥: "Why do we do an 8K? It's dumb. It should be 5Ks only."

🍺 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: "If I run this, I'll get to replace more carbs."

😌 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘: "Oh screw it. I'll just go slower."

Thursday, 6/18 at 6:30pm at the Holyoke Elks (250 Whitney Ave.).

This is Week 3 of EORC's Holyoke Elks 12-Week Point Series (running 6/4-8/20). Competitors must complete a minimum of 10 races to be eligible for a trophy.
