SLR September 24 - Marymount Chain Bridge

Hello Saturday Runners!

Our route this weekend on September 24 will be Marymount Chain Bridge (additional map here), for just over 14 miles. To shorten this route to 12 miles, you can return via the Key Bridge rather than Memorial Bridge. To further shorten the route to 10 miles, take the Key Bridge return and also do not take a left off of Military Rd into Taylor Park, but continue straight to N Old Glebe Rd. If you'd rather lengthen the route beyond 14 miles, you can continue along the river to return via the 14th St. Bridge for 16.5 miles.

Before this Saturday's run, at 6:30 am on 9/24, Gavin Cribb from Fast Track Sports Medicine and Performance Center will be back to give a short free workshop on strength training for runners. We all love to run, but sometimes miss this important part of a wholistic training plan. Now that fall is officially here, we will be changing our meeting time next week on October 1, to 8:00 am. Enjoy the extra hour of Saturday sleep until next summer!

Thank you Jenn Barton for post-run drinks, and Kyle Edgerton for mid-run drinks! This week's mid-run drinks will be located on North Old Glebe Rd, just to the west of Military Rd, at about mile 6.5 of the route. All of our volunteer needs through the Marine Corp Marathon are now filled, so a big thank you to everyone who has helped out! For the future, up-to-date volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Our drinks are entirely volunteer provided, so if you're an SLR regular, please do your part to help support them!

Happy running!

Mike
