Hello Saturday Runners!
This week, on June 25, we will be running an out & back on Rock Creek Park Trail (additional map here) which can easily be as long or as short as you'd like, with a turn-around at half your target distance. If you're just beginning a marathon training plan for the fall, a 10 mile run is this week's recommended distance. With Marine Corps 18 weeks away, this week will be the first co-located meeting of the Marathon Training Program and SLR. The jump-start group has been with us for the past few weeks, but expect to see more runners and more coaches joining us now as the training program itself gets underway.
Many thanks to Paul & Christine Westcott for all of our post-run drinks over the past month! Please also thank Miguel Cuya for this week's mid-run beverage station, which you should be able to hit in both directions on Rock Creek Park Trail if you'd like. Plenty of volunteer slots this summer still need to be filled, including mid-run drinks next week, so please let me know how you can help.
Up-to-date future volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me to schedule your slot. For mid-run beverages, any week you're able to volunteer is appreciated, but for post-run beverages it's best if you can cover two (or more!) consecutive weeks at a time, to cut down on hand-offs of the bins. If you enjoy or benefit from the entirely volunteer-supported beverages at our runs, please do your part - it's easy, and you'll be reimbursed for all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
