Tentative Early 2010 Race Schedule
Been planning some early season races and have come up with the following plan which will take me through the first three and a half months of 2010. I may add in a couple of shorter events, but have decided not to attempt the 50 this year. Race Countdown: Hair of the Dog 5k — [...]
