June 20th & 21st Results (9.1 miles, 8K race, etc.)

We greeted summer and celebrated Fathers Day several ways this weekend: on Saturday with training for the largest number of our runners, then on Saturday a good-sized contingent ran the Prost8K. We collected many awards.

The real winners there, though, were Neal, Chris and myself for the early diagnosis and successful treatment we received at the sponsor's medical center. The three of us wore dark-blue shirts with “Survivor” on the back. 

It’s a club that no man joins by choice. But if he does, the Oregon Urology Institute gives the best of care and follow-up support. The Prost8K promotes awareness of our illness and the fact that it’s treatable if caught early.

Saturday's training run was our last stop before reaching double-figures mileage next Sunday. Temperatures are due to soar before that run. You always have the option of starting early on hot days.

Thanks to Tonya for helping on Saturday.
