Row2k Training Gallery

Post #75

Oakland, California - Erik Dresser, Row2k's incredibly talented photographer, was in town last week and asked to come out and shoot one of our practices. It was the morning after Thanksgiving and the water was perfectly glassy. Those are the best days. A few of the photos are below but the entire album is also available here. Enjoy!

GOTR Community Service

Post #74

Oakland, California - This morning the Lake Merritt Girls on the Run did a community service project. The girls had voted on a Lake Merritt trash clean-up so we got nets and one big trash bin and did a major clean-up along the lakeshore path. Here are the photos:

Oakland, California - We have been having so much fun at GOTR practice. Here are some photos from Saturday. The girls voted to clean up trash around the lake as our community service project next week. We've got less than two weeks till the Lollipop 5k race!

Finally, this photo was taken at the halfway point of one of me and Julie's training runs a couple weeks ago. I just had to post it because it's a great representation of where I get to live and train right now. It was taken from Berkeley overlooking the bay, San Francisco, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Girls on the Run Practice 5k

Post #72

Oakland, California - I am SO proud of all my Lake Merritt Girls on the Run. This morning, every single one of them ran around the whole lake and completed our practice 5k. They were so impressive and inspiring. Coach Anya, Coach Molly, and I knew they could do it, but I think some of them surprised themselves when they reached the finish line and realized what they had just done. They did awesome!
