Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's route on Saturday, December 7, is an out & back run to Rock Creek Park (downloads: cue sheet and GPS). The scheduled distance is 10 miles, but you can easily modify for as much or as little as you like by simply adjusting the turn-around point. For 10 miles, the turn-around point 5 miles out would be near the Zoo. This week is the kickoff of the winter/spring Marathon Training Program, so please welcome this season's group of trainees to SLR! I'm going to be out of town this week, but Megan will be there to introduce and start off the run for you on Saturday morning.
Thank you Mikala Whitaker for post-run drinks this week! We need a volunteer to cover post-run drinks for the last two weeks of the year, 12/21 and 12/28, and then for February and beyond, so please let me know when 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 general info on how volunteering works see the SLR FAQ or send me an email if you have any other specific questions.
Happy running,
Mike
