Hello Saturday Runners!
This Sat., Jan 25th, we will be running the 4 Mile Run Park to Pentagon route, at about 11 miles. Please be careful out there - the trail will likely still have snow coverage in spots and be splippery, so take it easy and watch your footing. On the plus side, the route is mostly on pedestrian-only paths so you will not have to contend with cars. I'll be out of town (in fact running in a warmer climate) but have a sub starting things off.
The basebuilding is over and its time to really focus on those Spring Marathons.! After this week the mileages will be increasing to target the Rock-and-Roll USA Marathon in DC on March 15th and the Boston Marathon on April 21st. Options will be provided each week to add-on or shorten routes in preparation for running (or not running) a spring marathon. Check the DCRRC Saturday Long Run page for the updated schedule.
Thank You to Mary Ellen for more fine post-run drink work! We will need new volunteers in just a few weeks and don't have anyone on deck. Its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses. Please email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out!
I hope you have all been getting your miles in - whether that means utilizing the infamous "dread-mill" or adorning freakish, spiked contraptions on your running shoes! Fear not the cold and snowy conditions!
