Deena Kastor (US marathon record-holder) quote from June 2013 Running Times:
"My first run was in the Santa Monica Mountains and the coach told us after a couple of miles to turn around. My response was, 'Do I have to?'"
The varsity guys expressed their skepticism about my identification of a briefly-seen adult bald eagle during our 50-minute run along the Gunpowder River today. The bird obligingly returned moments later, showing off a white head and tail. Two hours later several of the guys were in a fashion show rehearsal organized by one of the girls on the team. The Hereford Zone presents interesting opportunities.
