Daylight Saving Time arrives on Sunday, but we'll be running at 6:30 am M/W/Th as usual, waiting for the sunrise to catch up. Meanwhile, here are tips for easing the time shift. nytimes.com/2024/03/07/well/…

NASA's Perseverance rover spent 3 years exploring the Martian surface. A clever map from the Post placed the rover's 15 mile path atop a map of DC—we figure, if you can map the route, why not run it?

We have a special spooky Halloween workout, Thu 10/26. Instead of track, we'll meet at 6:15 am at Rabaut Park, then jog over to the Exorcist Steps in Georgetown for stair repeats. Back to Adams Morgan by ~7:30.
