December 31st Results (5.2 miles)

This felt less like the last day of 2017 than the first day of school. I was excited to meet so many of you, and for you to greet each other. Special welcome to first-time runners here: Dean, Charlotte, Julie and Taylor – plus Gabe and Amy who have come before as guests and are now here to stay.

Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store today. This after she ran 22 miles on Friday as training for a marathon in early February.
