CRC News What's Happening in Clarksville's Running Community CHRISTMAS PARTY: Tuesday, December 13 (one week earlier than usual due to the holidays), Front Page Deli, 6:30 p.m. The CRC will provide appetizers such as wings, chicken tenders, nachos, cheese sticks. We will play Dirty Santa toward the end of the evening. Bring a wrapped, $10 gift appropriate for all ages. It can be running-related, but it doesn't have to be. Gift cards are popular, too. Gifts will be opened according to the number you draw. Gifts can be "stolen" up to 3 times. It's a lot of fun! HOLIDAY CHALLENGE!! This year, the Clarksville Running Club will be participating in a Holiday Challenge. From Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, complete a MILE A DAY. Our guidelines are simple: you can run your mile, walk your mile (active recovery!), do it on an elliptical, a bike (crosstraining!), or in the pool (for all you tri guys and gals), but you must complete a MAD (mile a day). At the January meeting, all members who successfully complete the Mile a Day Challenge will be recognized and will receive an extra raffle ticket. This will be on the honor system. Questions? Contact Donna Pittman at pittmansfive@gmail.com. (Runner's World Magazine is doing something similar. See more at http://trainingdaily. NEW SHIRTS We recently ordered lots of new CRC shirts.
