Hello Saturday Runners!
After three weeks of snow interruptions, we're back to your regularly scheduled SLR routes, which will be Custis to W&OD on Saturday March 14. This route will keep us in VA during the Rock 'n Roll Marathon (good luck to those of you running!), while also providing a 20+ mi long run opprotunity with some moderate but persistant hills for those of you preparing for Boston. The Four Courts Four Miler will also be going through Rosslyn along Wilson Blvd starting at 9:00 am, so beware of road closures, and cross carefully on your way back. Unfortunately rain is in the forecast for Saturday morning, though at least the temperature should be much more spring-like than what we've been seeing lately. While this Saturday is not only Pi day, during your long run this week you will be experiencing 3-14-15 9:26:53, a very unique date/time combo!
Thank you Kyle Edgerton for providing post-run drinks for the first two weeks in March! We will need beverage volunteers for the rest of the spring starting in April, so please consider volunteering if you plan to be at SLR for at least two consecutive weeks. Visit the SLR page any time to see current needs, and email if you can help. This is an easy way to support your fellow runners, and the club will reimburse all expenses.
The DCRRC annual banquet will be on Sunday March 15th, 6:00 pm at Maggiano's Little Italy in Friendship Heights - spend some non-running time with your SLR friends! The event will include a family-style dinner, club annual awards, board elections, and a keynote speaker from Back On My Feet. More information and registration is available here.
Happy running!
Mike
