BRC Run – 4/16 – Holly Ridge Road – 5.4 or 8 mi

Except for maybe the actual place, Marathon, Greece, this weekend marks what almost everyone in the world thinks of when you say “marathon.” The marathon. The BAA Boston Marathon, thank you very much.

As usual, we have quite a few members running on Monday. Good luck to our very own – in starting wave (and bib) order, –  Mike Watson (2046), Eric Narcisi (2131), Alex Trotsky (2984), Matt Collar (6278), Mark LaRosa (7058), Juan Zorilla (7241), Tom Kinneman (10692), Lisa Ritchie (19492), John Gorman (21652), Maura Szendey (22838), Irene Lionetta (24801), Steve Cooper (27943), Nicole Parker (29348), and Dave McGillivray (100). I apologize if I have left any members off this list.

You can sign up on the BAA website to track their progress if you are unable to attend in person.

I wish you all the best.

Recent Race Results

Thanks to the speedy staffer who put together the list of recent race results on Facebook. I didn’t include the 12 laps that were discussed, as I thought that was a little more… routine. Keep staking out members’ profiles. You know runners. We eventually must crow (even just a little) about our successes and failures. Just like the marathoners. We’re here for you too.

The Route

For everyone NOT running something truly special Monday, I’m suggesting some hills. Lots of hills. With an option for even MORE hills. Go run Holly Effing Ridge. If that’s not enough for you, add in Coventry. Still not enough? Take a lap or two, or more around Bear Hill (map not provided).
