Hello Saturday Runners!
You may have noticed the route schedule included the RFK route for this Saturday; however, there is a large charity walk taking place near the Mall, and it may make for a better run if we avoid that crowd.
Instead, take advantage of the opportunity to view the beautiful fall foliage along the Capital Crescent trail. The gradual uphill on the way out should be just enough to stretch your calves and glutes without beating you up if you're recovering or tapering, and the distance can be anything you want. Also, there are no turns to keep track of, so it should be a good substitute for the week you share race reports from MCM and other fall races-- CONGRATS to all our MCM runners!!!
Please thank Kimberley Larson for providing our post-run beverages and wish her luck in Richmond next week! Hopefully her generosity in helping us out this November will create some good race karma for her. If you, too, would like to bank some good race karma, we are still looking for a beverages volunteer in December (and possibly an SLR sub for Dec 25 and Jan 1), and there are many other volunteer opportunities to check out on the website as well (Thanksgiving Turkey Trots! Snowball Series!).
Hope to see you all tomorrow!
And good luck to those running New York!
