Hello Saturday Runners!
The route for this week's run, on Saturday June 18, will be Bluemont L-Loop (map here) for 12 miles. This run can easily be extended on either the W&OD or Mt. Vernon Trail, for as much extra distance as you could want. For a shorter run of about 10 miles, head directly back to the SLR meeting point through Rosslyn and Lynn St. rather than running the short leg of the "L" out to Memorial Bridge.
Once again I will be out of town this week, but Dan Lesmez will again start off the run for me on Saturday morning.
Thank you to Paul & Christine Westcott for post-run drinks! We are still in need of mid-run drink volunteers, to help with your hydration in the warmer weather. Since all of our SLR beverages are volunteer-provided, mid-run drinks will not resume until we get volunteers - so let me know when you can help! More post-run volunteers will soon be needed too. A full route schedule from now until the Marine Corps Marathon is now posted on the website, so there are plenty of slots to fill.
Up-to-date future volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me to schedule your slot. For mid-run beverages, any week you're able to volunteer is appreciated, but for post-run beverages it's best if you can cover two (or more!) consecutive weeks at a time, to cut down on hand-offs of the bins. If you enjoy or benefit from the entirely volunteer-supported beverages at our runs, please do your part - it's easy, and you'll be reimbursed for all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
