A dark drizzly day. Let's dedicate this race to the regulars, those who keep coming out week after week to race (mostly) against themselves, counting victories and set-backs by watching their times go up and down by a few seconds each time, and noting any new soreness or newfound strength with quiet attentiveness.

This one's for you.

On the brighter side, we note with happiness two milestones: Jessie Spinelli, age 8 (I think) ran the entire course this time, for the first time. And Charlie Salmond continues his recovery with his first sub-20 performance of the year.
