Happy Thanksgiving From DtB!

Gobble gobble, track and cross country fans!

We're going to take the long holiday weekend off, here at the Down the Backstretch office complex. Like you -- and Kara Goucher recently -- we're looking forward to spending time with family and putting our feet up for a spell.

In keeping with the holiday, here's a THANK YOU! to all of you -- loyal DtB readers that you are. The cross country season and the entire first year of this endeavor has been especially rewarding thanks to your regular, growing readership.

Thanks for joining us!

We'll be back to work on Monday with the latest cross country, track, and distance running news from Minnesota.
