Begin Annual Rant It is beginning to be that time of year. The plants have banded together in concert against me. Yellow rain will soon come, making breathing difficult for some, causing watery eyes and congestion, and forcing some people to give up entirely until better weather comes. Here are some useless tips for running ...
Nice work! Great work by everyone escorting our newest members to North Reading and back. Congratulations to Jake, Sarah, Bill, and Brandon. As business roars back to life, and people realize they shouldn’t be afraid, we will have a glorious induction to welcome all of our new members properly. Enter the Sanctuary I’ve been ...
Going faster miles an hour It is gratifying to have another raucous and wildly successful Run to Breakfast™ in the club’s logs. It was great to have so many of you pull up a chair to the table. Mix in a few ultra-runners who had more miles than beers (tsk, tsk) and it was an ...
I had a plan. Really, I had a plan for this week, next week, and the week after. My schedule changed, so here we are. First, this week will be a warm-up for The Run to Breakfast. If you’re running 20+ miles next week, most people would be looking for 9-12 this week. That makes ...

Spring Cleaning Our mailing list has too many entries to manage effectively (or in my case even poorly.) We have been adding new RWOBs to the list almost weekly. Many of you old-timers may not realize that BRC is still a thing and have redirected your Saturday mornings to other purpose. Some haven’t been seen ...
Worst. Weekend. Evar. Just when we are starting to get some real daytime, an antiquated, unscientific ritual that causes insane distress comes and snatches it away. You know what I'm talking about. The dreaded Spring Forward. Here are some Pros and Cons so you can decide for yourself, but we all know it's a tool ...
In Like a Lion… I can’t believe it’s already March. Wind, snow, warm days, cold snaps.
