Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, May 16th, we will be running about 12.75 miles on the Glover / Mass / Crescent route (additional map here). To shorten the route to 11 miles you can turn left off of Mass Ave at Nebraska Ave, continue straight as it turns into Loughboro Rd, cross MacArthur Blvd and go straight down Norton St past the reservoir, and onto the Captial Crescent Trail via the cut-through we use on the Battery Kemble route. If you want a longer run, you can add as much distance as you like on the Capital Crescent Trail.
The weather this weekend looks like it's going to be warming up again after a few days relief, but hopefully we can sneak in before it on Saturday morning. For all of our group runs, and any runs you do on your own in the heat, remember to always keep safety as your top priority. Even if you're a seasoned runner, these hot weather running tips from the RRCA can be a helpful reminder since high temperatures will be approaching 90 deg both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.
Thank you Flora Arabo for post-run beverages! With summer on its way, we will be needing volunteers for mid-run drinks in June, so take a look at the SLR page for current needs, and think about when you're available to help. Please email me any dates you can cover mid-run drinks, or at least 2 consecutive weeks for post-run drinks - the club will reimburse all expenses. If everyone can pick up only one week for mid-run drinks, we'll have no trouble keeping our water stops stocked all summer long!
Happy running!
Mike
