SLR Oct 27 - Piney Branch

This Sat, Oct 27th we will be running the Piney Branch route, listed at 13 miles.  I will not be there but Brian will be getting things started.  

Good luck to everyone running Marine Corps Marathon Sunday!! Something tells me we won't be seeing you at the SLR.  If you aren't running Sunday and would like to help out there are multiple needs.  DCRRC could use volunteers at the race tent we will be sharing with Hope For Warriors, email Katie if you are interested.  Also, DCRRC is hosting a waterstop at 14th street SW between C and D streets (mile 20).  Come on out at 9:00 AM to watch the race and support the runners-including numerous club members. There is no need to RSVP-just bring yourself and friends are welcome.

Please thank Christine Westcott for our post-run drinks!  She has done a great job all month. We currently don't have anyone on deck for November (starting next week) and seek volunteers. Its not a lot of work and DCRRC reimburses your expenses. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.

Although plenty of club members are doing Marine Corps there are also quite a few folks who still have their fall Marathons coming up; Philly is 3 weeks out and Richmond is in 2 weeks.  If you need longer than 13 miles, I am advising runners to continue on the C&O canal towpath after passing by Georgetown for an out and back, then eventually taking the Key Bridge back to our meeting spot.

• to add 4.5 miles (17.5 miles total) run out to Fletchers Boathouse and back (water/facilities here)
• to add 5.5 miles (18.5 miles total) run past Fletchers to where the Capital Crescent trail passes overhead and come back
• or pick your own distance as needed

Happy Running and Racing this weekend!

SLR Oct 20 - 4 Mile run Park to Pentagon

This Sat, Oct 20th we will be running the 4 Mile Run park to Pentagon route, listed at 11 miles. Check the cue sheet for clarification. We continue to meet 8:00am at the small park NW of Iwo Jima.   Only 1 week left until Marine Corps Marathon!  This is a great chance to do a final mid-length run, nice and flat, and keep that pace easy - save your energy for next weekend.

Good Luck to everyone running Army 10 Miler Sunday! Run fast and enjoy this great Fall racing weather!

Please thank Christine Westcott for our post-run drinks! As always we seek drink volunteers for the coming months. Its not a lot of work and DCRRC reimburses your expenses. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.

If you need MORE miles you know the drill! Continue on Mt. Vernon and come back through Rosslyn for around 1.5 extra miles, do the "bridge to bridge" run (~4 extra), or run down to the Capital Building and back (~6 extra).
