Good conditions for touch tonight. 43F, light wind, no rain (scientifically known as chilly). Come at 5 if you can or want to get started early. We’ll probably have at least one soccer or spikeball group to contend with for space.

We’ll play by Smithsonian metro stop. The weather can’t seem to make up its mind, and we get the short end of the stick every Saturday. It is going to be just above or below freezing depending on whether you account for wind chill. The wind will be moderate. We will still have tons of fun and the sun should be out, just be prepared.

Old Glory playing at home Saturday at 4pm. Go team!

We’re lucky that all the rain is going to pass well south of us on Wednesday. The temperature is in our favor as well, about 58F when we get to play.

A big thanks to everyone for putting up with the soccer and spikeball disruptions on Monday. There is limited space right now and we’re all trying to make the best of it. With the warm weather those groups are likely to be out and contending for space again. If you can come at 5 to help claim space and start playing early that is great, but the “official” start time is still 5:30.

Only two more weeks until time change. Depending on how contentious things get the next few outings, we may go to the Mall a week early.

Some people have the holiday off, but not the majority, so we’ll stick to the same time for Monday. Despite the cold weather weekends, we are getting lucky with early spring weather tomorrow. High of 61F, and only drops to about 55F/13C by the time we get out on the field. Probably a safe time to take off the gloves. I encourage people to come early to stake out space since we have soccer to contend with.

We’re inching closer and closer to the time change!! Soon enough we’ll be back on the Mall under natural light with all the space we want.

Smithsonian metro side of the mall. 9:30am. Temps are dropping back down again, about 35F with a mild wind. No snow, no ice, so it should be a great day for some rugby.

Go Old Glory!

Aim to be early, and then you’ll be on time. We’re limited on time by soccer, so the sooner we start the more time we can play.

Realfeel temp about 47F/8C, mild 8mph winds, no precipitation, 100% chance of fun.

Back to the cold. It’s going to be just below freezing tonight, but we’ll be having so much fun you won’t even notice it. Maybe it will even keep some of the soccer players away. Think warm thoughts, and in about a month we’ll be back on the mall under daylight and warm(er) temps.

Spring is here!! That might be getting ahead of things. But still, it’s a great chance to come out for a run. Especially if you haven’t been in a while, shake those cobwebs out of your boots and come on out. Temps in the mid 50s when we start and might get all the way to 60F/15C.

Good luck to Old Glory playing tomorrow night

High 40s tonight should have everyone jumping for joy. After three freezing weeks, this is t-shirt weather for some of us. Soccer games starting at 7 limit our playing time, so the more people ready to run at 5:30 the better.

We’re in a warming trend, and I’m going out on a limb to say that the coldest days are behind us. Temp tonight will be around 40F/4C (hooray for above freezing!!). However, there is a better than 50% chance that there will be some light rain. Not enough to slow us down, but umbrellas and a dry change of clothes are recommended.
