Hello Saturday Runners!
For your last run of 2016, on New Year's Eve morning we will be doing a 15 mile loop to Long Bridge Park (additional map here). To shorten the run to about 10 miles, you can take a left off of Crystal Drive just before 18th St. to cut over onto the Mt. Vernon Trail at National Airport. If you'd rather add distance, you can return all the way up the Mt. Vernon Trail to Rosslyn for an extra mile, or add laps of Roosevelt Island on the way for even more miles. If you showed up for last Saturday's soggy and cold run (congrats to those who did!), the weather should be much better this week, with cool temps and dry skies!
Thanks again this week to Kyle Edgerton for post-run drinks! We now need more volunteers starting next week, to carry us into the new year, so please let me know any time when you'll be able to help out for at least 2 consecutive weeks. Volunteer needs along with the weekly 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, you should 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
