Hi Folks,

 

I'm going to be out on the trail tomorrow at 7:00am, and you are all more than welcome to come along.  For those who have never been, above is a map pointing to my usual starting point, where the trail meets S.West St.  There's a parking lot right there, sandwiched between the Memorial Field and the golf course. 

 

For those who don't know, Brian Sell, SFU Alum and all around great guy, placed third in the Olympic trials and will be running in Beijing this summer!  Terry Shea, Altoona native and list member, also competed and finished 61st.  Here are the full results: http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/OlympicTrials-Marathon-Men/results.asp

 

Finally, once again, below is info for a forthcoming lecture series.  It promises to be a good one...
