Hello Saturday Runners!
TIME CHANGE: This week, Saturday May 30th, is the first week we will be meeting at 7:00 am for the summer to beat the heat! This will continue to be our start time through the fall, so make sure to set your alarms one hour ealier.
This week's route will be Cathedral-Clintons for 13 miles (additional map here). If you'd like to add any distance, you can do an out and back on the Mall when you reach the Lincoln Memorial on your way back, which will get you up to 18 miles total if you go all the way to the Capitol. For a shorter run, I'd suggest doing an out and back on the Rock Creek trail.
I'm still going to be out of town this weekend, but Brian Danza will start the run for you on Saturday morning.
Thank you Angela Katson for post-run beverages! I've posted our routes for this summer, through the Marine Corps Marathon, so please take a look at the schedule and think about what weekends you will be available to help with either post-run or mid-run drinks. We are in need of volunteers for mid-run drinks in June and onward, and you can always find current volunteer needs on the SLR page. 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
