November 25th Results (various distances)

We’ll have two more Sundays together, with six and 11 miles next week, then six for all as our final get-together of 2018. It already was our last time this year with Lindsey at the store. She’ll support husband Chris’s marathon in Sacramento next week, then take a vacation trip.

Thanksgiving Races

Our towns’ busiest running week of the year spanned the entire past week. It brought out more than 3400 race finishers between Sunday’s Runs to Stay Warm and Saturday’s Friendsgiving. Many of ours are listed here (and I might have missed some in all these results).

If you haven’t already run enough in recent days, we’ll have five- and 10-mile options on Sunday from the Eugene Running Company.

Run to Stay Warm Results

Talk about giving thanks! I’ve known few, if any, weekends better than this one. It began with our first pre-race party in at least a decade, and I thank every teammate – present, past and future – for gracing us by Hopping over to the Valley on Saturday night. The numbers exceeded Sunday’s at Run to Stay Warm.

Thanks for helping on the course today: Neal, Audrey, Carrie and Gabe. The racing will continue this week with halves in Albany and Springfield for several teammates – notably Ben, who at 10 will become our youngest (by far) at this distance.
