RTB. It’s here. I’m doomed. Just to throw a little variety into our weekly activities, I thought I’d put together a set of 3 mini runs. Now, that may not sound great, but shared suffering is better than suffering alone. Run one, two or three. Irwin M. Fletcher, you choose. Pay attention to the details ...
Hills. I looked at the calendar today. Some of us are in trouble. (OK, maybe just me.) RTB is coming in 2 weeks. I thought some hills might be good for us (OK, maybe just me again). We’re going to run Holly Effing Ridge, then follow it up with Coventry. At least it’s not that ...
Time to Get Ready for School Cooler mornings, buses clogging the roads, books, homework, sports. It’s all coming. Maybe we should remind ourselves where a few of these institutions are. Run down past Merrimack, into downtown South Andover. Go past St. Augustine’s and turn left on SCHOOL Street. When you get to Philips, come back ...
Lake. Big Lake. Not much to say this week, except try to enjoy the heat while we still have it. Days are getting shorter and the nights (with the exception of tonight) are starting to cool off more. Let’s all run around the water. Keep an eye out for Grandpa’s automobile. https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1152871564/ Reach. The. Beach. ...
Some Basics It has occurred to me that with several new members in the club, who are turning out to be regulars, it might be advisable to briefly review how this whole thing “works.” I may have it wrong, but I feel like people (old and new members) may not be recording and reporting the ...
Can’t… breathe… I took an “easy run” this morning with the intention that it would help me keep my long slow run slow. (As if I need help being slow.) I happened to notice that someone had gone outside and as a practical joke, where there was supposed to be air, they replaced it ...
Hey Y’All! The summer heat really has me thinking about the warmer parts of the country. Friendly people, Gulf Shore breezes, Sweet Tea, magnolias, peaches, and good barbecue…Oh wait. We can’t really run to the South. Maybe with this sticky weather, we’ll keep it simple this week, and just go back and visit our neighbors ...
Re: Your Run Thank you for your recent inquiry, however I am away from the office and will not return until I get a better attitude. Work performance has been down, and apathy high. In my absence, please use standard means to achieve your miles, as well as ensuring that you enjoy more beers than ...
It’s Been a Whole Year Already? I can’t believe you haven’t chased me down with torches and pitchforks. I’m not fast. You could have easily overtaken me. Maybe you don’t read these notes, and simply look for the nice little link to tell you where we’re running. Whatever the reason, I appreciate not being lynched. ...
