The Yasso family looks forward to meeting you and running with us!
It’s always nice to hear from runners I meet during my travels. At the Big Sur Marathon six weeks ago I was asked “Mate, could you sign my Footy Jumper?” I knew the Aussie wanted me to sign something for him, something I’d never signed before but what the heck is a “Footy Jumper”? I’ve since found out it was quite an honor to sign Pete’s running singlet.
