No Group Run on Saturday-Trotters Battle the Blue Line

We are not having a group run on Saturday due to the Akron Marathon.  Come out and cheer on the Trotters!  Good luck to all the Trotters running or walking the relay, half marathon or marathon!  Have a wonderful time out there on the blue line!  Remember-Smile for the cameras and have some fun!

A special "WOO HOO" for Connie Bradley (my amazing momma).  She is walking her first half marathon on Saturday!  Go get em, Steel Magnolia! 

Thank you to Larry and Sharon Simers for the dedication and support during this marathon season!  The people battling the blue line could NOT have accomplished this goal without your help!  You are both an amazing blessing.

Run for fun,
Hope
