September 12th SLR-a great turnout!


Well, we missed certain people at SLR this morning (yeah, you know who you are!) but we saw some new faces, which was great! We welcomed SIX runners this morning to SLR. Jaden, Dave, Nanou, Sabiena, Robin and Kyla.

Dave and Jaden ran into Baridhara for a nice easy 5-miler. Also in Baridhara, Dave ran into JR and Kelly, (who we hope to see at SLR next week!) both in training for the Khon Kaen marathon in Thailand in January.

The ladies decided to go with Robin to Basundhara for an 8-miler. We ran down a beautiful tree-lined street with a huge rising sun ahead of us. Just beautiful. If not for the heat and humidity, it would have been perfect. We were so comfortable chatting away, that we had to call Nanou and Sabiena back as they ran right past the 4-mile turn around point!
The 8 miles was a stretch for some and with the heat and humidity it was a tough run, even with the great company. The group ran back to the ARA and was advised to drink lots of water and gatorade and add some salt to their food today. :)

We will run next week, same place and same time. Dave will likely lead any runners who'd like to run 6-7 miles and Robin will be doing 10. Please join us!
Make sure to bring water or gatorade with you!
