Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's run is our Custis and W&OD run. It's an out and back, and some will run all the way to the beltway and back for 20 miles. Paul Westcott has graciously offered to provide our beverages, and he will be waiting in East Falls Church Park near mile 6, so you can refill those bottles a couple of times. Be sure to thank Paul!
Also please thank Rich Mendelowitz for providing our post run beverages through the entire month of September. His duties are coming to a close-- if you can pick up the bins after Saturday's run and bring us a fresh supply on October 1, please let me know ASAP.
We are in need of Post-Run beverage volunteers for all upcoming months. For ease of logistics, it's preferable if someone (or a team of people) can do a whole month. However, if you can't do a whole month, but can pick up at the end of SLR one week and bring new supplies the next week, please let me know that. We can use your help!!
Also, this will be my last week as SLR leader. Chris Miller has graciously volunteered to step in for the month of October, but we are looking for a leader who can take over at any time. Please send me an email if you are interested. I'm happy to answer any questions, or simply forward your name to the board. Thank you to everyone for making it easy to lead the group, by volunteering to bring beverages, providing route suggestions, helping newcomers, reminding me to announce things, and filling in for anything else we've ever needed.
Lastly, remember that the club has a huge volunteer commitment to fulfill for the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge Half Marathon on Sunday, October 2.
I'd be remiss if I didn't include a plug for the best volunteers in the club-- our SLR regulars-- to please help out. I'm sure there's some volunteer credit involved, and it's also located near my personal favorite portion of the Mt. Vernon Trail-- perhaps you'd like to get a group together to carpool to the race and have a nice run on the beautiful Mt. Vernon afterward!
Thanks everyone, and see you Saturday!
Kristin
