Hello runners! Some news this week. First, this week we're running a newly modified route. Thanks so much to Andrew Kent and Marianne Nazzaro for helping to figure this out. It's flatter than last week, but also may be a bit, um, sunny, so think about bringing water and a little cab cash just in case. There will be a few stops for drinks, as Rick DeSaussure is doing a double midpoint stop (we'll hit it twice-- stash your cup for re-use)-- thanks, Rick!
Also, we've got some new info on recycling. Thanks to Colleen Marzec for initiating this program and for carrying it out. Let us know if you'd like to help!
Finally, we have no midpoint volunteer for next week. Please let me know if you can help, or we'll be on our own for midpoint bevs.
SLR Goes Green
Thanks to everyone who “pitched in” at the June 20 SLR by throwing the empty plastic bottles into our new yellow recycling bin (which is actually used, but new to the team).
In an effort to reduce the team’s environmental footprint, Colleen Marzec has volunteered to haul our post-run Gatorade & water bottles and plastic cups to an Arlington curb each week for recycling. All plastics #1-7 are eligible, so be sure to throw your plastic cups in the bin, too. If you’d like to help or have ideas on how we can make SLR even greener, please contact Colleen at cmarzec@juno.com.
