Thatโs it for this weekโs report! Iโll post the PBs tomorrow. Enjoy the sunshine! Check our mid-week poll on our facebook page so you can see where meetups will be happening next week. Can we hit the thousand-mark next Saturday? Of course we can! See you there โ even if you canโt run due to an accident with a bicycle or whatever your reason โ volunteering will still get you scanned. Remember to bring a buff if youโll be wearing a volunteerโs tabard (which will hide your t-shirt). Have a great week!ย
