Our FLRC Challenge shirts are here, and they look great—the colors are fabulous. The best way to get yours is to come to the group run on Saturday on the Black Diamond Cass to Gorge course. We have some extra shirts available for sale if you didn’t order one during registration. They’ll be available for pickup at other club events like next Tuesday’s track meet and future workouts, but if you’d prefer to pick up an ordered shirt at the running store, let me know.
The weather just isn’t giving up, but even with the rain and air quality issues, we increased our numbers to 888 total runs and nearly 4,300 miles. A bunch of those miles came from Gill Haines-Sharp, who completed the first Tough Tarmac Challenge of the year on Saturday, and Steve Jesch, who filed our third Tough Trail Challenge completion of the year that same day. They’ll be getting special mini-sign awards at the end. And then Mike Allinger became our ninth overall finisher. Nice running, all!
It was great to see so many people submitting Lakefront Loops times after running the Twilight 5K (which had 398 finishers, the third most ever) and Black Diamond Cass to Park times in the middle of the Gorges Half Marathon.
The theme for photos this week is “thinking about others,” with kudos to Ruth Sproul for moving this guy off the road on Lakefront Loops.
And to Ryan Jacobsen, who passed up the opportunity for a fast Lakefront Loops time at Twilight 5K to run with his little sister in her first race ever.
See you Saturday, and I’m sure mud season will soon be behind us.
