October 27th Results (9.2 miles)

My fault. I’d like to say it’s my first mistake ever, but you know better.

My misreading of own list gave you the wrong turnaround point, and required a midcourse correction for most of you. Also, confusing directions sent some of you the wrong way. All still worked out close to distances you wanted, thanks to your good humor and good watches.

Thanks to Kelly for store opening this morning.

October 20th Results (8.0 miles)

October is racing along as we build toward multiple November events. Next up are two “SF” halves (Silver Falls and San Francisco) and the New York City Marathon. This resulted in a rare day when runners going other distances outnumbered those doing the main one.
