Thanks Sue and Alan for inviting everyone out again!

Due to construction along San Felipe the River Oaks Sunday Run temporarily changed.    We will run River Oaks Backwards and John will mark a 5 mile turnaround point for those who want to run 10 miles.  If you want to do more you can run to the gas station water stop and just reverse your route back to the park and get in around 14 miles.  The water and Gatorade will be at the normal locations.
