Frostbite & Weekend Race Report!

 It was a busy weekend for Spewak Training. Despite cold rain, cool temps, and strong head winds, our team showed up and crushed the St. Louis Track Club Frostbite Series 5k & 20k this past weekend. This was not a day to judge your time. Competing for place is what matters most and our team took home several AG Awards.
