Saturday, September 3rd

A big group and a long run for the last Team 13 training run before the 15k and a bit of a cut back this Saturday, great as always to see so many making the trek across the Westside and a great route in which to see everyone several times, back to Wesselmans for the 10 miler in two weeks!

Congrats to everyone that took part in the YMCA Mind Body & Spirit Triathlon/Duathlon on Saturday morning and to the group that ran the final Run Under the Stars Endurance Run in the series Saturday night/Sunday morning in Knoxville, looked like a lot of hardware collected between the two events.
