Hello Saturday Runners!
This week our route will be the Bluemont L Loop (map here), for 12 miles. You can shorten this route to about 10 miles by returning directly to the start through Rosslyn, rather than continuing on to the short leg of the L after reaching Lynn St. To further shorten the loop to about 8 miles, follow the path directly to the Custis Trail from Wilson Blvd after crossing Glebe Rd, rather than continuing down the Bluemont Trail. For extra distance, you can add on at either the W&OD or Mt. Vernon trails.
Please be aware that there will be some road closures on Saturday morning in Arlington due to the Great Chocolate Race 5 miler. This shouldn't impact the route for our run, but if you drive to or from our meeting point it's something to keep in mind. For details, take a look at this traffic alert.
Thank you Ted Logothetti for our post-run drinks both this week and last week! We're covered for the next 2 weeks, but there are still a lot of openings coming up where we need coverage. Volunteer needs to go with our route schedule are always kept up-to-date on our web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this SLR perk, please do your part to keep it going! Volunteering is easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and all restocking expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
