Fall-Winter 2008/2009

Life is not a spectator sport

 


time trials (not a race); no awards, no entry fees, all start together & are
timed

winter goals are to maintain conditioning, stimulate a harder than normal run
each Sat. and enjoy the off season with running comrades.

Usually, many members will go to breakfast afterwards.
