Stuck in a Box I did not prepare well for this week. Sitting in the office, then running around trying to keep up with Spring. Maybe you’re looking for something more creative? Well, at least for today you should keep looking. For tomorrow, run to the Boxford border via Salem Street. If you want to ...
Short and Hilly Not a lot to say about this run except that at least it doesn’t also include Holly Effing Ridge. A couple of big hills, and relatively short distance. On the way back, any really tough guys can add a lap around Bear Hill if they want. https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/2491208641/ Advance Notice(s) BRC Weekly ...
For the Troops This weekend is the 2019 Run for the Troops. Several of you are volunteers and won’t be able to run the race. Well, here you go. A nice preview and warm-up hitting most, if not all, of the race course. Hopefully the rain will stop before the run begins, but when does ...
Great Job Congratulations to all of our Boston Marathon runners. It always amazes me how much work and effort you put in for it. I saw a (picture of a) newspaper clipping that showed five of the ten top finishers from North Andover are our people. (Even if they technically run for another club). Fast ...

Quarantine I’m sick as a dog. I couldn’t get out of bed Monday. Shakes, shivers, coughing, all of it running around my head, making me miserable. Can’t breathe, can’t run. What to do? Boston is right around the corner. Some of you are running THE race. Some of you will be spectators, either online or ...
All, We have only 2 people who have expressed desire to engage in the BRC Run to Breakfast. One will dash at approx 8:30 pace, and one will cruise between 9 and 10 minutes per mile, maybe slower after 14 miles in. In addition, the weather blows. Literally. The Weather Underground forecast is calling for ...
Random Jumble of Stuff Time Change. Pi Day. St Patrick’s Day. Pick your poison. Celebrate any way you like, but maybe also celebrate by going to Haverhill for a border. Pick up the Boxford border as necessary. Wear green. Bring a pie. Drink some beer. Or don’t. https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1745985692/ BRC Express. A shorter route, but ...
Out and Back. Another long mileage run this week. Head out to North Reading. Extra motivated runners can go all the way to Middleton, too. https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/2281572142/ Longer distance? Speedy Petey says that “for anyone interested, I'll be running a bonus route on Saturday morning, which overlaps with the BRC route on the "out" to NR. ...
