Hello SLR Runners,
This week's route is a simple one to ease us into the 7am summer start time-- Out-and-Back on the C&O, so even if you decide to sleepwalk through the route, all you need to remember is to begin at 7 and turn around when you have run half as far as you want your total to be for the day. The suggested distance is 10 miles (so turn around at mile marker 5), but you may do more or less as you prefer.
Also, the Fall Marathon Training Program will begin this Saturday, so we should have many friendly faces and people with whom to run!
Karol Murray will provide post-run beverages for us, and Aaron, Sharone, and/or Noah Cheskis will greet us with beverages and smiles out on the course near Fletcher's, so be sure to thank them for helping us out!
I will also have a sign-up book for volunteer roles for upcoming SLR weeks. As always, we'll be looking for help with beverages. And for something new-- pace leaders! So whatever your pace, don't be afraid to join us! We are especially looking for leaders in the 9-12+ minutes per mile ranges.
Please think of when and how you can contribute, thank you for whatever patience you may need to practice as I take over for our very capable Kerry, and thanks for keeping SLR running smoothly!
One final note: please confirm with the Metro website (www.wmata.com), but I have heard from a reliable source that Metro will open at 5am because of Race for the Cure. In case that makes transportation easier for anyone. :)
See you Saturday!
Kristin
