June 24th Results (5.2 & 10.3 miles)

We’re nearing changeover time. The winter/spring phase of our training is ending soon, with summer/fall to start the Sunday after the July 14th Coburg Half. This week I’ll send you details of that next phase by email.

Also be aware that Lindsey and Kellen from the store will host a marathon/half group. They’re now taking names for that team. An announcement is headed your way soon.

Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store this morning – this after running a 17-mile race in Sunriver on Friday. She finished second of all women.

Love Liberates Half-Marathon

Our team at Saturday’s race was small but mighty. Five did the Love Liberates Half-Marathon. Their age-group winnings: two firsts, a second and a third! The other runner placed fourth in one of the toughest groups.

Thanks to Michele for volunteering at the finish, and to Kathy B. for her work on the course. Also a special salute to my daughter-in-law Cindy and her two girls, Paige and Shaye, for enthusiastic work at the first/last drink station.

And thanks to Piper Ruiz for conducting another fine event – and to announcer/scorekeeper William Wyckoff for giving our team extra attention.
