Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's scheduled route is 11 miles of trail running along the Potomac Heritage Trail (downloads: cue sheet and GPS). The forecast for Saturday is currently calling for rain, with increasing likelihood in the late morning and early afternoon. Since this route is almost entirely trails, I'm going to keep an eye on the weather and possibly call a last-minute route change if it looks like things will be too wet and muddy. If that becomes necessary, I'll be recommending an out & back run on the Capital Crescent Trail instead. Hopefully the weather holds out though, because this route is one we have not run at SLR in recent years, and should be a fun change of pace! The Potomac Heritage Trail can be steep and rocky in some places, including creek crossings as well, so even if we have good weather, be sure to watch your footing and slow down as needed.
Thank you Franco Ordonez for post-run drinks! We will need more volunteers for both post-run and mid-run drinks coming up in June, 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
