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.

The rain is clearing up and with it goes our brief respite from the cold. It will drop down to below freezing temps tomorrow morning, about 28F/-2C with windchill down to 16F/-9C. Nonetheless we will persevere.

We’ll play near the Smithsonian metro at 9:30am. Plenty of time to get a run in before the six nations afternoon game. Also, Go Old Glory!

Touch is on tonight. Sorry for the late notice

Touch is on tonight at Bundy Field at 5:30 PM. We may lose the field at 7:00 so do try to get there ASAP. And bundle up, it will be freezing. See you there!

Full disclosure, there is a very real risk of frostbite and hypothermia. Temp will be about 24F/-4C, but strong winds will bring that realfeel way down to 10F/-12C. You’ve been warned.

But on to the fun and games. We’ll be on the mall by Smithsonian metro at 9:30am. It should be good fun. A little sloppy running on fresh snow (if it sticks around) and the wind will present some passing challenge.
