August 6th Results (6.2 miles, etc.)

After the week we had, you could say we were blessed today. Much cooler temperatures, cleaner air, and even some clouds as a welcome bonus. I’m relieved for you (and even needed long sleeves on my earlier outing).

Note that Neal, Bill and Carrie are all training for fall marathons, hence their longer distances. Jean and Tatiana are racing a half-marathon in Vancouver, BC, next Sunday.

Thanks to Kathy for opening the store while Lindsey enjoyed her post-wedding weekend back east. Note that I’m away this Wednesday, but you're still welcome to meet at six o'clock that morning at the Mill Race trailhead in Springfield.
