Hello Saturday runners!

This week is supposed to be a hot one!  While our route, Battery Kemble, is one of our shadier and more water-fountain heavy routes, it's still going to be quite warm.  If you haven't been hydrating all week, start sipping water immediately.

6am and 7am start time options:
6AM: A group of coaches and regulars, including Mary Ellen Seale, Andrew Kent, Karol Murray, and Alex Barrage will be starting at 6:00 AM from Iwo Jima.
7AM: We'll also do the normal 7am start as usual.  If you want to start with the big group, but want to have some of the mileage under your belt so you finish earlier, other good options are to run to SLR from your home and metro/cab back, or to park a tad further away to run to and from your car (both of these help with parking stress, too).  As always, but especially tomorrow, be sure to carry water and phone numbers and try to avoid running alone.  You run at your own risk, but there's no reason not to minimize those risks!

There are at least two fountains on the Capital Crescent trail.  Tenley Ludewig will be providing the midroute beverages for our regular 7am starters, either at the top or the bottom of the hill on Chain Bridge road.  Colleen and Lindsey are still covering our July post-run beverages.  Please thank them!

On a less sweaty topic, there will be a happy hour for the Marathon Training Program on Thursday, July 29 at Black Finn in DC.  Thanks to Kyle White for setting this up.  Check the website for details.  All training program participants and all club members are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Stay cool and hope to see you Saturday!
