Hello Saturday Runners!
To keep Water Route in sync with the latest cherry blossom peak boom forecast, I'm swapping our scheduled routes for the next two weeks, meaning that this weekend on March 31 we'll be running Piney Branch (downloads: cue sheet and GPS) for 12 miles. You can shorten this route to about 9 miles by turning left off of 16th St onto Columbia Rd, and returning to Rock Creek via Calvert St and Shoreham Dr. Alternately, if you'd rather go longer, you can make this 16 miles by continuing on 16th St all the way up to Joyce Rd and going down Ross Dr. This Saturday is looking like a great day for a long run, with sunny skies and temperatures in the low to mid 40s!
Thank you Mary Ellen Seale for post-run drinks over the past month! We will need more volunteers for the second half of April and beyond, so please get in touch with me if you can help. The weekly schedule of volunteers, routes, and distances is always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to book your slot. For more info on how volunteering works, please first see the SLR FAQ, and after that send me an email if you'd like any additional details.
Happy running,
Mike
