Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun August 5, 8:30, Skyline Gate

Hi Everyone,
Jessica is running the Alameda Run for the Parks and Amy has graciously accepted the invitation to be her rabbit. The rest of the Rossi clan will be cheering her on. Soooo...you can join us for a flat fast 10K on a certified course, or you can enjoy a coordinatorless run at Skyline Gate. At Skyline Gate, one of you weekend run veterans can seize the day and feel the power of leadership (please do not accept any money for your freezer).

Amy and I had actually decided on Strawberry Canyon, but the trail was scheduled to be closed this week for culvert work. I would hate to send anyone up there if the work has not been completed on schedule. So please enjoy Redwood Canyon instead.

Wherever you choose to run, enjoy your weekend.Mike
