SF Runs - Celebrating and Supporting Running in the Bay Area

Hello Runners,

Welcome to the latest edition of the SF Runs newsletter. Congratulations to those that recently completed local races including the Bridge to Bridge 5K & 12K!

I also have some running news to share -- I was accepted into the 2018 Boston Marathon! Although I wasn't very athletic when I began running, from my experience as a runner and running coach I can assure you that you can achieve amazing improvement and make your running dreams come true. Thanks and keep running!
