Saturday, August 29th **UPDATED**

Congrats this week to Craig, Dave and the rest of the team who took part in the Hot Hot Hundred Trail Run this past weekend-Great Job! Sounded like a very hilly tough race! Slim racing action last week and this week as we get ready for a big race weekend next week with the Second in the Series Y 15k and Labor Day racing action!

Alright, last weekend of August, what a week of weather we have had. I'm sure we'll have a warm up or two before it's all over but it's been a nice break and a good chance to see where your training is at.

This week Team 13 moves West to Mesker Amp., below is a 4/5 mile route from the Y to the start, and a return route to the Y which you can shorten as needed. I will update the Team 13 route once I receive it, it will change from below due to the Maryland Street construction.

See You Saturday!
