Gorgeous new bibs for State Championships, thanks to Road Runners Club of America.

Update:
- We are at 261 registered runners.
- About 200 brownies have been baked.
- The RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) championship bibs have arrived (see photo).
- Your favorite RD (running dork? race diva?) has hand numbered the pull off bibs and is in the process of hand cutting the printed number section so that we can use it in the random drawing.

Part Two of "Do You Know Your BRR Mile Markers?" Series:
The second mile starts with a life renewing downhill. It's a slight and gradual descent to the town green and then as you turn right in front of the green onto Bolton Center Road, heading east, the slope gets steeper. Anyone who has run at Rose Farm will recognize this downhill, but at the BRR it is on smooth pavement. Lean forward; drop your arms; lengthen your stride, and enjoy the ride! As you turn right onto Brandy near the bottom of the hill, you will see a quick, steep up hill. It's not as bad as it looks. Take it quickly. It will even out about 30 ft in to just a gradual up and continue that way until the 2 mile mark. You are nearly back at the school now! You might even hear me yelling (I'm loud)!
