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.
