Just show up and run at the usual time (8:30 AM July 4) and usual place (Main Street in front of the Inn). Time yourself and go to the Google Form (form will begin accepting results on July 4) to report your results. We will try to get some pictures to share on Strava, Facebook or the social media site of your choosing.

Setting Goals
Time to let go of 2018 and start thinking about 2019. It’s been a long injury plagued year but things are slowly improving and I am optimistic about the coming year. I am entering a new age group and my goal is to get and stay injury free so I can optimize my performance at the National Senior Games track and field competition and at the USATF Outdoor National Masters Track and Field Championships. My plan is to only run as much and as hard as I need to, which won’t be easy because it is so easy to let self doubts convince me I need to run the next workout harder and faster than the last.
