Noon Group Sweeps 5K Awards
It was a perfect 50 degree lunch-time at the UO Student Rec. Center Faculty/Staff 5K Fun Run. It was also a perfect placing for the famous Noon group runners as they took 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the event. Travis came in with a time of 18:49 on the hilly course, followed by Charlie with a solid 22:04 and then J finished the trifecta with a strong kick to 23:04. The traffic was light luckily so pauses at intersections were short. The hill at University was actually a lot shorter than I remember, coming back from an 18 mile Saturday morning run. The awards consisted of a drink tumbler, a granola bar and a pack of gum. We hope to increase the winning next year by capturing the first 10 places.

I struggled over the finish line in 30:32, eating the dust of the noon runners and my library colleagues. Still, it was nice to be back out on familiar terrain.
