All the Region 2 North Posts | Contestants | Scores | SPOT Tracking Mist in the valley again on my morning run. I’ve worked my way up to the point where I can make it all the way around the airport without collapsing. My long term goal is to still be running when I’m Karl Striedieck’s age ;-) At the morning…
