March 12th Results (4.9 miles)

With the Cottage Grove Half happening yesterday, along with the Eugene Marathon preview run – plus the time change – our numbers were small this morning. But as I like to say on days like this, we had quality if not quantity.

Welcome to the team, Rachel and Lauren. Welcome back, Renee and Alisha.

Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store this morning. And to Neal for helping on the course.
