Supplemental SLR email - still no midway bevs, some alternate start options

Hello again Saturday runners!

Midroute Beverages: No one has stepped up to do midroute beverages for tomorrow, so unless someone just shows up and does it, we will NOT have a midway stop.  I apologize for any inconvenience with this, but everything the club does is volunteer-based, so if nobody volunteers for a thing, the thing won't get done.  The weather should be cool and there are some fountains, but do be aware of this and plan accordingly-- if you want to be sure to have hydration along the way, please bring some with you from home (please refrain from using the post-run beverages for this; bring your own so there is the needed replenishment for even the last to finish their run).

Thanks to Grace Chan for offering to help next week!  If anyone wants to help her out, that would be good.  We're a big group so it can easily be a job for two (or three).

6:00 and 7:00 starts: We did have a last-minute announcement that a large group of runners will begin at 6am tomorrow.  So there are 6 and 7 am start groups tomorrow.

Marathon Training Program Participants' Singlets will be available from me between 6:45 and 7, and from Eleanor Evans when she returns from her loooong run (her estimated time of return is around 9:30 or 10, but really it's whenever she gets back).  I'll have 'em next week at 6:45 if you can't pick them up this week.

SLR - C&O

Hello Saturday Runners!

We are still in need of at least one midway beverage volunteer for tomorrow (and next week, and October 2).  If you have been drinking Gatorade and have not volunteered to help this summer, please consider helping out your fellow runners tomorrow-- or roping a loved one into doing it.  I would not mind having a couple of people for these duties, as our group is getting large and sharing the job can make it much easier.  We go through hundreds of cups each week, so I hope that one percent of us can provide some help each week.

The route is the first scheduled 20 miler (I know some of you have a few under your belt this season already!), and we're keeping it simple on the C&O.  Thanks to Jim Cardosi for providing the post-run beverages!

Also, a note for our Marathon Training Program participants-- I will have the singlets available for you to pick up *before* SLR on the remaining Saturdays in September, starting tomorrow.  Please make every effort to get yours then or get someone to pick it up for you (your coach, perhaps?).

Thanks everyone, and I can't wait to hear from some last-minute beverage volunteers!
