Change of Location for Long Run Tomorrow, Sunday, April 26

Since many people in our training group are running the GW Parkway classic - let's meet at the finish area, Oronoco Bay Park for the race at 7:45 am for our group run. We can run from there and then try to see the other group members who are racing. Please email me or call me if you are planning to meet here in the morning for the run. My cell is 703-336-9858. Call with any questions and look forward to seeing you!
