Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, on October 22, we will be running the 10 mile Chain Bridge Loop (additional map here) to continue tapering for Marine Corps and other marathons happening next week. If you'd like to go longer than 10 miles, you can keep going past the Key Bridge and return over Memorial Bridge for 12 miles, or use our standard Marymount - Chain Bridge route for 14 miles. Thankfully this week's unseasonably hot weather is on its way out, and we should have a great morning for running tomorrow with temperatures starting around 50 degrees!
With the Marine Corps Marathon coming up, DCRRC will be partnering with Hope For Warriors, so if you or your family & friends would like to help out with refreshments or directing runner traffic at the finish line, check out the club's volunteer page for more info and registration details. Also, if you're looking for something a little bit different this Saturday morning, you can join local star ultrarunner Michael Wardian on a MCM training run starting from MedStar Health at Lafayette Center (more details on our club contingent and the run) at 8:00 am. (But for those not interested, don't worry - SLR will still go on as normal!)
Thank you Anita Hines for post-run drinks for the last two weeks! We will need a volunteer to cover 3 weeks of post-run drinks starting next week, to bridge the gap until the next marathon training program (targeting Rock & Roll DC) gets going, so please let me know now if you can help. 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. 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
