Well, Trailies, it’s gonna be a scorcher out there today. High heat. High humidity. No surprise here in the DC metro area but also nothing to be messed with. If you plan on running today you should be chugging water right now. Also keep your electrolytes on the intake all day as well. Keep the effort down. You can still exercise but don’t do anything crazy…well, I forget I’m talking to an odiferous bunch of rock kickers who routi…nely do ‘crazy’ stuff. That being said…be smart. We will do a run around Needwood this evening. Here are the details:

Location: 15679 Needwood Lake Cir, Derwood, MD
GPS Coordinates: 39.114637, -77.127564
Time: 6:30 (6:15 for warm-up)
Course: We will run around the lake clockwise across the dam, out’n’back on Beaver Tale Trail, then back to parking lot. Hill repeats on Potty Hill if you need them.
