April 14th Results (10.3 miles, 11.3, etc.)

We’re getting there, and will just two weeks from today. Our last run before Eugene race-day will come this SATURDAY (not on Easter Sunday) – on either the Dorris Ranch or Mill Race Path (depending on water levels). By midweek I’ll let you know exactly where to meet.

Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store this morning, as well as handing out team shirts. And to Laurel and Trey for helping on the course.

April 7th Results (10.1 miles, 21, etc.)

A wet one, to be sure! So much so that flooding canceled the Oregon Women’s Half-Marathon on the Fern Ridge path, but not so crazy-wet that it stopped or shortened our planned runs. Some of us just detoured slightly around major puddles instead of wading through.

Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store, two days after her own distance peaked for an April marathon, and after her marathoners went their longest for Eugene on Saturday. Special kudos to Leah and Rachel W for supporting our 21-milers.

We’re getting closer to race days, with distances naturally growing longer. Three additional training miles remain for both the Eugene Marathon and Half.
