Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, August 8, we will be running the Marymount - Chain Bridge route (additional map here). This route gives a few easy options for distance, with the as-written route on the map and cue sheet at 14 miles. For 16.5 miles, return to Iwo Jima via the 14th St Bridge and Mt Vernon Trail. If you'd like to make it a 12 mile run, return via the Key Bridge rather than Memorial Bridge. If you would like to shorten the route to 10 miles, in addition to returning via the Key Bridge, do not turn left into Taylor Park, but continue straight on Military Rd until you reach Old Glebe Rd where a right turn picks up the route.
Thank you Angela Katson for covering the past month's post-run beverages! Thanks also to Mike Pryce-Jones for our mid-run beverages this week. We are now in need of post-run beverage volunteers starting next week, August 15. There are also plenty of mid-run slots to be filled before the MCM training cycle is over, so take a look at our up to date needs posted on the SLR page and let me know what fits your schedule. Please email me any dates you can cover mid-run drinks, or at least 2 consecutive weeks (preferably 4 weeks) for post-run drinks - the club will reimburse all expenses. This is an easy way to support your fellow runners, and the club will reimburse all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
