Hi Legger,
So last Saturday was definitely crazy. That was the rainiest training day I have ever experienced! The rain was non-stop, yet despite the weather, we had a great turn-out. You are all rockstars for showing up and supporting your fellow runners and walkers. Special thanks to the 11.5s + Gail for the support stations. And now we taper with 10 miles on deck for this week.
Reminder that today is the LAST DAY to apply for the board and get in your Scotty award nominations. The Scotty award is the lifetime achievement award that we present to a special LEGGER at our End of Season Celebration, being held this year on Sat 4/6 at Brick + Mortar in Santa Monica. Get your tickets now for the best pricing!
If you're not participating in the LA marathon, we'd love to have you volunteer to support. Right now, stations 1 & 2 could use some more help as well as the finish line late shift (organized by Conqur but staffed by LEGGERS).
See you on the pavement!
