This Sat, Oct. 6th, we will be running an out and back on the Capital Crescent Trail. The posted mileage is 20 miles but feel free to do less (or more) as needed. I will be out of town this weekend but Rick DeSaucer will be getting things started.
Please thank Christine Westcott for our post-run drinks. We currently don't have anyone doing mid-run drinks, but there are plenty of water fountains along this route to get a drink at and wash that yummy Gu down with! As always, we seek post-run beverage volunteers for the coming months. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.
Its Marathon Season! You're 3 weeks out from Marine Corps Marathon so this should be your last LSD (Long Slow Disance) training run. Good luck to our runners doing Chicago on Sunday! Also be sure to plan accordinly if you are doing any of the other fall biggies:

| Baltimore | 10/13 | 1 |
| MCM | 10/28 | 3 |
| NYC | 11/4 | 4 |
| Richmond | 11/10 | 5 |
| JFK50 | 11/17 | 6 |
| Philly | 11/18 | 6 |
