Hello Saturday Runners!
The route for Saturday October 3 will be 23 miles on the Capital Crescent / Rock Creek Loop (aka Big Loop) (additional map here). Three weeks out from the Marine Corps Marathon, this is a good chance to log your last long run. If you're not looking for a run quite this long, you can start with the group and do an out & back along the Captial Crescent Trail, turning around at any point.
Because of the heavy rain in the forecast, it's possible that the route will need to be modified to avoid some areas of Rock Creek Park that tend to flood. However, if no further announcements are made, then the plan will be to run the regularly schedule route.
I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but Rich Mendelowitz will be leading the run in my absence.
Please thank Angela Katson for post-run beverages, and Aaron Cheskis for mid-run beverages! We still need one more mid-run volunteer for next week before this wraps up for the fall. Though we're covered for the next few weeks of post-run drinks, we could use someone to take the last 2 weeks of October. A scheudle of routes and volunteer needs is posted on the SLR page so let me know what you can cover. Please email me any dates you'd like to do mid-run drinks, or at least 2 consecutive weeks (preferably 4 weeks) for post-run drinks - all beverage expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
