Hello Saturday Runners!
TIME CHANGE: With the arrival of cooler weather and later sunrise times, this week (Saturday October 17) our start/meeting time will be moving to 8:00 am. Enjoy your extra hour of sleep on Saturdays from now until next summer!
We are also at the end of volunteer-supported mid-run beverages this season, so please take this into account when deciding what to carry each week. You can find water fountain locations by choosing the OpenCycle background (rather than google maps/sattelite) at the gmap-pedometer link for each route, and looking for the water tap icon after zooming in. Most fountains should still be working at this time of year, but keep in mind that many will be turned off for the winter in the coming months.
The route this week is GWK Shady (additional map here), which is a little bit on the shorter side at 10.5 miles for those of you tapering for the Marine Corps Marathon. It's easy to add distance to this route though, by either running an additional loop of the GWK trails (~7 miles), or returning via Memorial Bridge rather than Key Bridge (~3 miles).
Thank you Angela Katson for post-run beverages! We will be needing a volunteer for post-run drinks starting next week, so please get in touch if you can help. Our scheudle of upcoming routes and volunteer needs is posted on the SLR page so let me know when you can help out, and email me with at least 2 consecutive weeks (preferably 4 weeks). Volunteering is easy, much appreciated by your SLR friends, and all beverage expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
