Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's long run is going to be out & back on the Rock Creek Park trail (downloads: cue sheet and GPS), for really any distance that you'd like. The club's winter/spring Marathon Training Program will begin meeting with us this week, and the first run on the training schedule is 10 miles, so that's our recommended distance this week. If you'd like to go either further or shorter however, it's easy to just turn around at whatever point is half of your total target distance. The turn-around point for 10 miles (5 miles out) is along the detour that goes around the tunnel that's just before the Zoo.
Thanks again to Michael Rohlf for post-run drinks over the past few weeks! We're going to need more volunteers to step up soon, with a post-run drink schedule that's wide open after the next 2 weeks. Please take a look at your calendar and let me know what you can do!
Volunteer needs along with the weekly route & distance schedule are always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. For more details on how volunteering works, please see the SLR FAQ, or get in touch with me if your questions are not addressed there. SLR drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this perk, do your part to keep it going!
Nominations for 2017 club awards (presented at the Club Banquet in March 2018) will be accepted until January 7, 2018. You may submit multiple nominations, for the same or different awards. Self-nominations are allowed.
Happy running,
Mike
