Run On Groceries Perhaps this week someone can explain grocery-shopping-before-a-snow-storm behavior for me. Sure, I’ve seen it before but I guess I never paid much attention to it. That was until I had to experience it. Last week I got hit with a honey-do list that included picking up “a couple of things at the ...
Now That’s More New England Snowy roads, perhaps getting snowier while we’re out for a jaunt, cold temperatures, perhaps a bit colder due to wind chill (which of course varies based on how fast you run), this is what running in New England during the winter is all about. You have to remember that there ...
Here’s some snow day reading from Speedy Petey. Enjoy! Unless you’re running a winter marathon in Florida, New England runners tend to get a little lazy and a little fluffy during the holidays and into January as temperatures drop, mornings are dark, and roads are slick. But those are just excuses and it’s time to ...
Do Your Job Show up, wear your uniform properly, and do your job. This week is an easy Executive Style route of agreeable mileage but still long enough to be worth the effort. Put on as much Patriots gear as you own – mega BRC Bonus Points for anyone who brings a helmet. Patriot ...
How About That Countdown Calendar? Great question, glad you asked. The race archive now has over 67 races and events on it. There’s just a smidge of surfing involved in finding out what the 2017 dates will be so you can plan your running year. There’s a very good chance that it may or may ...
Tough Sledding Usually we like a little bit of snow, sleet, or general inclement weather for this run. There’s a storm front forming today and I’m not sure what the impact will be around here in the morning. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see. Triple Border – 13(ish) Miles Here’s the ...
A lot of you missed out on your Friday BRC fix because Mat sent out this week’s email on Wednesday, so here’s a little kid getting trucked by a couple of dogs. Happy weekend everybody!
Count Your Blessings It could be worse. Much worse. Consider this; I’m traveling to San Antonio today so you know the first thing I did was to check out some possible border runs while I’m there. Basically I’d have to do a piece of work before hitting any signs for a different town. The longest ...
Where Do We Start? You have to start somewhere. But first, a quick story. As I’m prone to do, I ate considerably during the Silly Eating Season, which mercifully is finally over. And as is generally the case, a few pounds found me. Let’s just say I’m easier to see now. So I know I ...
Whether you’re aiming to complete 2017 miles or 2017 beers (Or both! Or more! Or something else!), we hope you do something good in 2017, and we hope to play a small part in it every Saturday morning at 6:45 at the North Andover Common. Happy New Year everybody!
