Classic Kind Of Day And by classic I mean you have to opportunity to run not one, but two races in the same day. Cool, right? And by cool I mean hot as in it is going to be a little bit more than warm out there so plan accordingly. I hope to run into ...
Something For Everyone Next week we have options. You can run 5K or you can run 10K or you can run a Half Marathon. Or you can run two races. Or you can run all three. How could I possibly set up a run this week to prepare for all of those options? Easy. Math. ...
ATTENTION: Different START location this week – We are meeting in this parking lot at Merrimack College. Classic Routes DMSE and Runners World put together three routes and made some fancy maps with moving circles. We’ll check out two of the three this weekend.

Conversation Starters Everybody’s got one. Show me yours and I’ll show you mine. How bad can it be? Aw, it’s not that bad. It’s cute. Mind Back Up Here, Please You do realize we’re talking about obscure race/event T-shirts? Yes? Please tell me you weren’t thinking of something else. I’m not sure I want ...
