Comments: It was nice to take it easy and only run up to the top of Council Crest and back for an 8 mile run. I may add a mid-week run to the Saturday run for the summer. Stay tuned.

Runners: Carolyn, Russ, Jim and 5,000 others

Weather: Sunny and upper 50's lower 60's

Comments: We ran the Helvatia Half Marathon today. I did not follow Russ' lead and left home after 6:30. I was sitting the HWY 26 from 7:00 to 7:30. The worst part was getting diverted to park over a mile away. By 7:45 I had a pre-mile to run and needed to find Carolyn to get my number. That didn't work out so well so I took off as the last runner to start the race 15 minutes after the gun. I felt great and on pace (and really fast passing all the walkers) until mile 10. The heat and lack of road running got me again and I slowed down to keep from cramping up. Still finished under 2 hours but no PR today. All the cross training has paid off. Time to add some running.

Runners: Carolyn, Jessica, Russ, and Jim

Weather: 50's and Sunny

Comments: Great to have Jess out with us today. Sorry about the bugs that bite. Since it landed on your lip did it bit you are did you bite it? Way to stick it out and run 8!

The next run will be from Burnside at 7:30 tomorrow.
