Hello Saturday Runners!
If you're looking for a long run after recovering from a turkey trot and a thanksgiving feast, this Saturday morning we'll be going 12 miles on the RFK route! (downloads: cue sheet and GPS) For a shorter run you can simply turn around sooner, since this is an out & back route, or for more distance there are many ways to tack on extra. If you head south on 15th St and run a full lap of Hains Point before returning across Memorial Bridge, this is 16 miles total, or you can connect to Rock Creek, Mt. Vernon, Custis, or C&O Canal trails for any amount of extra out & back distance. I can't make it to the run this week, but you'll be in good hands with Coach Big Guy who will kick thinks off on Saturday morning.
Thank you Michael Rohlf for this week's post-run drinks! We're going to need more volunteers to step up soon, with a post-run drink schedule that's wide open after next week. Please take a look at your calendar and let me know what you can do!
Volunteer needs along with the weekly route & distance schedule are always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. For more details on how volunteering works, please see the SLR FAQ, or get in touch with me if your questions are not addressed there. SLR drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this perk, do your part to keep it going!
Nominations for 2017 club awards (presented at the Club Banquet in March 2018) will be accepted until January 7, 2018. You may submit multiple nominations, for the same or different awards. Self-nominations are allowed.
Happy running,
Mike
