Everything You Ever Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask…about me! Well, maybe not everything, and you may not have been afraid, but Amy over at Runner’s Lounge took the time to ask me a dozen questions about my running so if you are interested in taking a peek, you can do so here:…
The L/A Bridge Run was this morning, concluding the 1st Annual Lewiston/Auburn Triple Crown racing series. Conditions for the race were favorable, with temperatures in the low 60s, overcast skies, and only a very light breeze albeit with a bit of humidity mixed in.
