Hey all,

Hope your summer went well and fall is going good so far!

The run season is about over for 2010 - but there's still plenty going on that we're working on.

Summer is about over, but the running isn’t quite to that point.  Training has continued the last few weeks following the Gopher to Badger Half Marathon in August.  It’s still been going well, mixing in some outdoor running with indoor running, including treadmill hills that were needed for the last run in Stillwater, MN to Hudson, WI.

Just when I thought it was only going to be one more run for the year, we’re going to add to the schedule ONE more run.  It makes sense to do so on th...
