While it was reported to be an extra muggy morning, it was actually 70 and sunny as always. A smaller group launched at the standard time and ran 4 or 5+ miles. Group ran across Commonwealth, down Monument and turned at the appropriate point and returned up Grove. A larger group continued their prep for the BRR with an earlier start and knocking out 8+ mile runs. Good work! RAMM Gears posted as well – if I missed anyone please let me know.
