Seasons are Changing Back in my youth, before we understood sunspots, the ionosphere, and space weather, we called all of this uncertainty “seasons.” In memory of those simpler times, I think we should run from Summer St. into Winter. Get it? https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/26971654/ Maybe you’re not ready to give up on summer just yet. Maybe ...
Flash Back to 2018. Just like last year… RTB. So, where is everybody? Well, I can’t speak for everyone but a whole mess of us are going up to Bretton Woods to run down to Hampton Beach. Silly, right? Just like last year, I don’t know all of the teams involved, but we’ve got some ...
Still with the Borders Thing One of our long-time RWOBs runs on the DWFU team for Reach the Beach. He has occasionally come to run other times with us, sometimes the week right before we get ready to go. I’m hoping this is one of those times. In all the years he’s been running (occasionally) ...
RTB. It’s here. I’m doomed. So, last year, I sent you on these exact same runs less than a week before the big event. This year, I am hoping to get a little better response, so I wanted to do TWO weeks before the show. A few of us finished the whole series last year. ...
Wow. I don't know how I missed #136, Pat O'Neil finishing his final borders last week. Luckily, this fellow stopped by my office and started counting loudly for me. It was quite an embarrassment in front of all the young programmers, and I STILL don't know how he got past security and into the closed ...
Borders Galore We’ve had a lot going on this week but we’re still pounding out the miles (and beers) as we race toward the BRC Induction Night on Tuesday, August 27th. Nobody has requested any of their missing borders, so I will continue scheduling them at random. Next up, let’s hit Lawrence, Methuen, and Salem, ...
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 ...
