Getting final Borders just in time We have a new graduating class ready to enter their names in the book. There’s still time to get more. We’re going to Salem, and hitting Lawrence and Methuen along the way. (And then, sure, we’ll come back) Bring folding money for water or juice at the Salem border. ...
. What do you need me for? It appears people are just going to go run whatever the hell they want, whenever they want to. Since I’ve met most of you, I wouldn’t expect anything less. It’s like herding cats in here. Make the cats’ paths merge. So, given the extra-long course some RWOBs are ...
Reflections. We’ve reached the end of the calendar. Is it a time to look back at all the miles (and beers) or a time to look forward to marathon training and snow? How about a bit of both? Take stock of your accomplishments and revel in that extra IPA or whisky sour. Get your resolutions ...

I couldn’t eat another bite… I bet you thought I forgot about you. Nope. Sleeping in. I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving Day. What a wonderful time to spend with family and friends. I don’t know about you, but my kitchen looks like a tornado hit it, and told it twice. I’m thankful for ...
It’s Coming Silly Eating Season is almost here. According to Wiley’s “Most Obscure Seasons and Why You Should be Prepared” the tradition of Silly Eating Season began in 1543 when King Henry VIII was having such a joyous time, he didn’t want his annual harvest feast to end; so he encouraged the Royal Guard to ...
Veterans Day This Sunday will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. I have no better words to offer than those of President Woodrow Wilson, which were delivered on the first anniversary, then known as Armistice Day: ADDRESS TO FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN The White House, November 11, 1919. A year ago ...
Running in the rain Meat and Potatoes While not a long run, this is a challenging course due to the hills. Keep the ascent back home in mind before you use all your energy going downhill.
