It hadn’t happened in 20 years: the 110 freeway was shut down from Pasadena to Lincoln Park for pedestrians! Of course, there was a 10K on the famed stretch of road. We had about a dozen runners out there - 3 placed in top 20 in their division. 4,000 total runners! #running

Great Saturday! Most of us put in a long run in Griffith Park. But a couple of us did 14 miles on Angeles Crest Highway in preparation for the Big Bear Marathon. Stoked to keep our engines revved high as we creep toward the end of the year. See you at Run the 110 tomorrow!

[Skid Row Running Club @Skidrowrunclub]

It’s tough to get up and at ‘em sometimes - especially on a Monday. But this disciplined crew showed up and put in 5 strong miles at 6am anyway. Thankful for the time together and for the positive momentum to start the week. #skidrowrunningclub #running #DTLA #marathontraining

We had a great Saturday long run this morning at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Did some hill work and grooved through the neighborhoods while checking in on training status for the upcoming Big Bear Marathon (Spoiler: We should run more downhills). We run again on Monday in DTLA!
