RUNSAFER ASICS RUNS INTO THE CAPITAL

8/9/2014

Last Monday, July 21, 2014, we got into Washington DC to do a workshop at Potomac River Running in Arlington, VA. When we got to the store we were surprised to see the local news, NBC 4 Washington DC. We hadn't set up anything, but there had just been a jogger attacked in Fairfax County on a neighborhood trail. As in most cities, assaults and attacks are increasing at a scary rate. That's why it's so important to practice safety on a daily basis and have a plan of attack, just like everyone does for a fire drill.

We had a good turn out for the workshop and the local news was able to catch some of it. Check it out on our "In the News" page. 

There are a lot of good places to run in DC. While we were there I was able to run on the Washington and Old Dominion Rails to Trails path. It was generally well populated but it runs 45 miles along the DC area so you can go through many different areas of town and need to be prepared! 

I was also able to train at 50/50 Jiu Jitsu in Falls Church, VA, thanks to Seph Smith and the group at 50/50 for a good training session in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

We also want to thank Potomac River Runners, Ray and Cathy Pugsley, ASICS, and Keith and Michelle Dowling, for hosting us during our stay.

Todd's Run Safer presentation was great....exceeding my already high
expectations. The material was simple to understand and within the physical
capacities of virtually anyone who can run. I even had some take-aways to
pass along to my 6 and 9 year old daughters."
