NOVA Coach Jerry Alexander (right) with NOVA Member Mike Naff |
Specifically, having Coach Jerry around means being able to count on his skilled expertise in designing the weekly track workouts, his presence at Tuesday practice each week, and the time he spends each day answering emails, assisting in training plans, and providing pep talks to members going into big races. Even larger than that, however, is the legitimacy Coach Jerry provides to NOVA through his decades of experience, his skill in coaching runners from "hobby joggers" into elite talents (Dave Wertz anyone?!), his compassion and concern for every member of the team, and his charisma, charm, and stunning fashion sense. These are all reasons why many people show up to practice in the first place. So you see, Jerry's involvement with NOVA goes well beyond timing at the track, which at $50 for the year is an amazing bargain on its own.
However, without a significant show of support from NOVA members to renew their membership for 2014, we can no longer count on Coach Jerry's services.
As announced in a special newsletter to the NOVA Running Club on February 3, 2014, now is the critical period to renew your membership for 2014!!
Those who have not renewed by February 14, 2014 will be removed from the distribution list and unfortunately no longer permitted to attend practice.
Do not delay - the future of the Club depends on it!
If you wish to renew your membership via ACTIVE please follow this link.
Alternatively, we will accept check or cash payments through the mail or at the track. New membership forms will be available at track and are now online for printout at www.novarun.com. If you wish to mail in your membership form and payment, the club address is below:
