Congratulations to Holly Armstrong
On May 2, Reston Runner Holly Armstrong ran the entire 45-mile length of the Washington & Old Dominion trail to raise funds and awareness for the World Central Kitchen and their work in feeding those in need due to the coronavirus. Holly was assisted, both in terms of both run support and contributions, by many of her fellow Reston Runners, and raised over $4,000. Well done, Holly!

Safety Reminder and Update on Status of Group Activities: May 29, 2020
As we reach the end of May, we are encouraged that Northern Virginia is now in Phase 1 of COVID reopening. We are no longer required to wear face masks while exercising outdoors, although it is still encouraged. We are still prohibited from gathering in groups larger than 10 people, therefore our group activities remain on hold. We will continue to monitor state, county, and Reston Association guidelines to see when we might be able to resume our group activities. Until then, we encourage everyone to stay fit and to keep running and walking, which is easy to do by yourself. If however you choose to run near another person for safety or other reasons, practice the recommended 6-foot social distancing. And in this current situation, in consideration of those who share the paths and trails of Reston with you, please don’t spit on the paths.

Ed belonged to the Unitarian - Universalist Church in Reston, but our church is not large enough for his service.
When planning for this service, Ed told us, “I just want everyone to be happy.”
Jim Nagle gently and lovingly said, “Well Ed, I don’t think people will be happy, but they will be happy that they knew you.”
He nodded in agreement.
Ed helped plan the service and the music. Please join us.
Know that he wanted us to be happy in our memories of him.
