"Rebecca, I go to the Riverdale Y as we get 20% (I think, but at least 10%) discount and Lisa in charge is a VCTC member. I try to go to abs class twice a week but often can't. At about $500/year that's $10 per week so the classes are…"

"Hi Kevin, I don't think I am going to make it tonight. I am not feeling well. But if I do come it will probably just be to take a slow run- so no time trail needed for me. Thanks"

"Hard to say about "beneficial", but at least it's almost certainly not "detrimental" (except for the cost) ... :) I guess if I didn't have access to a gym through work, I would probably opt for a membership. If nothing…"

"Can I come? Or is this not for the slower runners? I have a head lamp so I can run by myself if I need to. I assume H&T means Hair and Turtle? (Still learning the VCTC lingo)"

Garmin Forerunner 405... Does anyone have any problems with it?

I just got myself a Garmin yesterday and I seem to have no luck with it. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong. First, the box did not come with the ANT stick. Second it keeps shutting down completely- full battery, blank screen. I have to reset it to get it to come back on. And it also freezes when I am scrolling through the menu etc.. is anyone else having this issue or did I just get a bad watch...?

New to VCTC...

Hi Everyone,

I am brand new to VCTC and I have a couple questions I was hoping someone would help answer. OK- Tuesday track workouts, what are these like? Is it suggested for slow runners to join or those new to/coming back to running after a long hiatus?

Also what are the Thursday night Tempos like? (Same questions as above). Is it suggested to get a head lamp for running during any of these workouts.

Thanks!!!

The workout is in Fieldston. I am picking up Melissa at the handball courts at 6:50 if you would like to meet me there I can give you a ride up the hill and show you where the workout is. Jill
