Catching Up with the Westchester Track Club

I had the pleasure of photographing the Saturday weekly workout of the Westchester Track Club today in Rockefeller Preserve.

What a gorgeous place to run! And a humbling place too, unless you can run multiple 5 minute and sub-5 miles like the runners out today. Very impressive. Among the runners was local masters speed woman, Charlotte Rizzo who recently won the master's division at the prestigious 5th Avenue Mile in Manhattan in a time of 5:11.

Check out a few photos of Coach Mike and his runners.

The WTC celebrated another great showing at the New York City Marathon this past Sunday, with Ethiopian runners Kassahun Kabiso and Lete Berhe placing 18th male and female, respectively.

Worku Beyi was at the workout today.
