This week we again have more than one option for time and distance.
There may be some nice fall colors to observe on both routes this week, and we've also got a midpoint stop serving both time/distance options at Pierce Mill, thanks to Elizabeth Haxthausen. Post-run beverages will again be provided by Eleanor Evans. Please thank our volunteers, and if you can help in future weeks, please let me know-- we need you!
The regular 8am route this week will be Ross Drive. http://www.dcroadrunners.org/longrun/routes/RossDrive.html
Steve Easley will be leading the group preparing for later marathons on the 22.5 mile Capital Crescent/Rock Creek loop. http://www.dcroadrunners.org/longrun/routes/CapitalCrescentRockCreekLoop.html. If you need to get this extra mileage in, but were worried about not finishing until your friends ate all the pancakes at Whitlow's, don't despair-- this group will leave from Iwo Jima at 7am to knock out those miles with plenty of day left to spare!
Finally, a big congratulations to everyone who ran the Marine Corps Marathon last weekend. We're all very proud of your performances!!
