Hello Saturday runners!
Tomorrow we'll run the traditional First 7AM, First Marathon Training Out and Back on the C&O Canal. The suggested distance is 10 miles, but as always, you can do whatever total you like-- just remember to turn around when you're half done. There is no cue sheet. Trust me, you can figure it out without cues.
Eleanor Evans will be near Fletcher's with some midpoint refreshments for us, and Ross Brodbeck will cover or post-run refreshments. I know we'll be appreciating that very much in tomorrow's weather, so please thank them!
On another note, I learned it is best not to strategize after a long day of mind-numbing work-- please do not make any huge plans in reliance on the SLR schedule after mid-July. As it turns out, there is one more weekend in this year's training cycle between the first Sat in June and MCM than I thought. I'll be adding a run of around 15 miles in July, and subsequent routes will be moved back one week. I will work with any beverage volunteers to make necessary adjustments (Lynn!) and then fix our route chart. The training schedule distributed to Marathon Training Program participants already reflects corrected SLR's, but please stay tuned for further details. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.
Looking forward to a great fall marathon training season (whether we're actually fall marathoning or not), and I'll see you all tomorrow!
Kristin
