The Days are Getting Shorter As I prepared for a short run this morning, I was struck by the fact that I must have rolled out of bed an hour earlier than I thought. Then through the haze of my old-man eyes, I made out the digits on my watch. Nope. I was right on ...
ATTENTION PLEASE, WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT We’ve got a BRC Induction coming up. Frank sent out the notice that we have three new BRC members, and hopefully can get one or two more. This will be the first induction that includes an optional group run beforehand. The run starts at 6:45, and is only ...
Out and Back I’m late. I had no plan for this week. (I know, you feel you have already read this story) Let’s throw this against the wall and see if it sticks. It has been a little while since the club ran to North Reading. Let’s do that. Grab Middleton if necessary, and if ...
There is no Easy Way. I’ve been trying to avoid this route of late, because the easy bailout would take you through construction zones on 133. Probably not too safe. So, go do it the Hard WayTM. Get Haverhill, and the optional Boxford as necessary. Remember, members. Keep track of RWOBs and report their borders ...
So Hot Outside. This weekend promises to be hot and steamy, and not in a good way. If you want to run long crazy distances, you are free to do so. The rest of the club should stay Kool, and consider a funky, shorter alternative. Why not go visit our cousins in South Andover? https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/2106799780/ ...
BRC Triathlon! There’s not much to add to what Race Director Aaron Preston wrote in his email to participants of the 10th annual BRC Triathlon. Assemble at the Common at 0630, and be prepared to start at 0645. Olga is going to leading the singing of our National ...
Simple Plan for the holiday weekend The forecast show it will be warm tomorrow morning, but I’m sure many of you are itching for even more running after this week’s BRC domination of the North Andover 4th of July Road Race. (Great job, by the way) We will run something so deceptively simple, you’d think ...
Independence Day It’s almost here. Celebrate as John Adams suggested in a letter to Abigail he penned on July 3rd 1776. “It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and ...
Winter is Coming Every year the day comes that all runners despise and hold with dread in their hearts. The Summer Solstice is here. The days are getting shorter. Save for a few intrepid souls who will dash through the darkness, many will soon be running later and later in the day. Guard yourselves well, ...
Just One Hill? It’s time again for the Mt Washington Road Race. A simple route that follows only one road for 7.6 miles. Sure, just a few short miles, but over 4600 vertical climb with a max grade more than 20%. I know we have several perfectly sane individuals who will be running that hill. ...
