Hello Runners!
After much deliberation, and FINALLY getting street closure information, I have decided to hold TWO SLR events this weekend. Feel free to attend either/both:
1. Business as usual. We are going to keep the streak of meeting every Saturday at Iwo Jima alive. Parking will be challenging, but so is distance running in the summer in DC. You will need to self-supply your beverages. The best way to access by car is to come from the west via 50 and park in the neighborhood up the hill. Arlington street closure details:

2. Supplemental SUNDAY LONG RUN-- same thing, only we'll leave from Iwo Jima on Sunday, July 5, at 8AM. That's EIGHT AM SUNDAY. The run is short, so we can start a little later (gives you one more hour to recover from festivities) and still be finished at a reasonable time. Same route. Kristin will provide midpoint and post-run beverages. Parking and streets will be re-opened by Sunday, and this will also allow those who wish to participate or volunteer in the July 4 race at Carderock a morning long run option this weekend.
Many have varied plans for the weekend, so I look forward to seeing those who can make it to Iwo Jima on Saturday and/or Sunday, and can't wait to catch up with everyone else after that!!
