June 18th & 19th Results (9.1 miles & Prost8K/5K)

Phase one of this busy weekend was the team’s nine-mile training run in Eugene on Saturday. Thanks to Kellen for opening the store that morning.

Phase two was the Prost8K/5K in Springfield. Neal won his age group in the 5K, and three others placed among the top three at one distance or the other.

I've taken an informal poll on moving next Sunday's run to the Row River Trail near Cottage Grove. So far the vote is unanimous: DO IT! That distance will be 10 miles, with an 8 o'clock start from the Mosby Creek Trailhead. I'll give directions and car-pool options in the midweek preview.
