Hello Saturday Runners!
This Sat, August 8th, we will be running an out and back on the MaryMount/ Chain Bridge Loop, listed at 14 miles. As written (coming back via Memorial Bridge) its 14 miles, but if you come back early over the Key Bridge this cuts it down to 12 miles. For a 16 mile run, you can run out on the mall past the reflecting pool, turn around after the WWII memorial, and come back on the other side.
Thank you to Kevin Cunningham for covering post-run drinks for the month of August! And a big thanks to Mrs. Big Guy for our mid-run drinks this week! Mid-run drinks are in good shape, but we do need post-run beverages for September (and beyond). Its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses - Please email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out!
Well folks, the time has finally come to pass the reigns off to a new SLR Leader: Emily Leary Chesnes will be taking things over starting next weekend. Please give her your undivided attention. It has been my pleasure to lead and coordinate the Saturday Long Runs over the past few years. I hope my efforts have made running and training for races easier and more enjoyable, or at least less painful!
Shouldn't be too hot or sunny out, but it will be humid so please take it easy and hit those water fountains (like at Fletchers boat house and in Georgetown) when you can.
Have a great run!
