AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM


No, your DTC has not turned into a religious fundamentalist group! However, the pacer and leader for our last SLR was a local high school junior (okay not a child), who will compete as a long distance runner on his track team at school this spring.


It was a light turnout for the 2nd ever SLR, as many people were enjoying a long holiday week-end outside of Dhaka for Shaheed Day. The route was similar to last week and the runners even picked up one more runner on the way back to the ARA. The run set out at a nice, easy pace until about ¾ mile from the American Club, when our young runner decided he would pick up the pace a little. He took off and we never saw him again! This is great training, as he aspires to run a marathon while attending college in the States. We hopefully will see him back this Saturday for SLR as well as some of you other runners out there!


Please join us as we run as scheduled this Saturday, meeting in front of the ARA and leaving at 7AM sharp. There will be cue sheets for a pre-measured and accurate 9 mile run.
