November 28 SLR

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

By request, this week's route is the Cathedral/Clintons route, approximately 13 miles.  Tack on extra loops between Memorial and Key Bridge this week if you want to eat extra pie over the holiday, for added mileage.

Please thank Colleen Marzec for graciously giving us Gatorade again.

Enjoy the holiday, and see you Saturday!

New Route for Nov 21

Hello Saturday Runners!

We've got a new route for tomorrow-- thank or curse Carl Ford for submitting it.  Incidentally, Carl will presumably not be running with us tomorrow... a little sketch, as the route looks to be somewhat tough!  In his defense, if you don't see him it's becauase of the JFK 50.  Best of luck to all of those with weekend races, notably the JFK and Philly!!  We're proud of all of your hard work for the summer!

Thanks also to Colleen Marzec for taking care of our beverages yet again.

Here's the route:
