Independence Day is Near Independence Day is a great time of the year to celebrate. John Adams knew it. You know it. Knowing the type of people we are, “celebrate” can mean cookouts, fireworks, parties, and family time. It can also mean a good run. While you’re reveling in your freedom, you may ...
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT We are having a BRC INDUCTION! Six individuals have completed their border requirements and are ready for the hazing celebrating to begin.

Just One Hill Anybody can do this easy uphill jaunt, right? Ummm…maybe not. But I’ll show some serious respect to Rusty and Jess (and anyone else who got registered) as they make the climb up the auto road. Check out the elevation profile on this beast. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/2106839548/ Anyway… What and where are we running? I ...
Less Planning than Usual I had some ideas for what to write leading into this week’s note, but I am stumped by writer’s block this morning. At least I figured out where we should run. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1618474255/ At about the 5 mile mark, there is a little grocery/lunch counter kind of place. I plan to bring ...
Do NOT go to the Common Time for a bit of experimentation. This Week we’re having an away game. We are NOT starting at the town common. Instead, we’re meeting at the Sharpner’s Pond soccer field parking lot. I checked – there’s no Games until noon or 1 as far as I can find. ...

It just so happens that this year, we’re touring the memorials in Campagnone Common in Lawrence, which coincidentally lies on the return path from Salem, so we’re getting borders while we’re at it. Campagnone Common is named for the three Campagnone brothers of ...
Last Borders? Didn’t we just do this? Yes. Yes, we did. However, I’m still working to get folks their last borders. This week we’ll pick up a new member if we can have someone escort him to Haverhill (and Boxford) and back to the Common http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1745985692/ Biergarten Remember that this is the weekend ...
Last Borders? I’m working to give the opportunity to people to complete their borders. I know at least two active RWOBs need this long run. I know it takes a while, but let’s go to North Reading. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/33471780/ Biergarten Don’t forget to add to your calendar Notch Brewing’s Mobile Biergarten. Frank sent out ...
