NorCal Running: Welcome
Welcome to NorCal Running--thoughts and photos and results for many Bay Area Running Events and non-events. I am a high school cross country coach and I run at a lot of races and like to take photos at the races I don't run at.
If anyone would like an excellent quality photo print of any of these photos, I suggest that you email me and let me know. The photos posted are for online purposes only--thus, they are rather small files and not really as good quality as the 2-3 MB+ files of the originals. The fee for 4x6 prints is $1.00 per print and for 8x10s or 8x12s is $10.00--which includes postage.
I can be contacted at: cjstern1@verizon.net
