Will He, or Won’t He? Today is Groundhog Day. That quaint tradition which allows us to either blame a dirty rodent for six more weeks of treadmill drudgery, or to celebrate our cute furry friend who tells us that spring might actually be just around the corner. The days are starting to get longer, even ...
Switching Over to Google Groups OK, so you’ve read my notes (maybe) about us switching over to using Google Groups to manage our mailing list. This week we are beginning to add our RWOBs. Several weeks ago, Frank D sent out a mail about the groups and signing up. I thought it would be good ...
It’s About Time! Finally it looks like we’ve got a nice day ready for us, and good weather means miles to take care of. I’m also aware that it’s been some time since we attacked borders in an orderly (or disorderly) fashion. Since I’ve finished my recent race, I am going skiing. But you guys ...
Goodbye Extreme Cold With a little reprieve in the cold, I thought it might be good to get back to work. We can all come out and enjoy the nice, um – wait. What do you mean rain? LOTS of rain. Followed by more cold for the next week? You’re kidding, right? Tomorrow might be ...
What’s with the Cold? Hey, we’re only 25-30 degrees below normal temperatures for this time of year. No big deal. Just make sure you dress for it. That’s some COLD out there. Cold enough that many of you will stay home, snug in your beds. But there are those…people. Those runners who won’t stop for ...
No big plans Bad weather. Hectic schedules. General apathy. Major distractions. Go run. There will be some Weather outside. I don’t know what that weather may be. It could be icy. It could be snowy, it could be rainy. It’s New England. Roll the dice. Take it easy and be safe. The Great Pond ...
I can’t believe it’s here! The most magical time on the whole BRC calendar and I almost missed it. I’m so focused on myself and the 19 miles I’m running Saturday that I almost didn’t get this put together. Everything is sneaking up on me this year. There were so many ideas I had to ...
Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful. This run is so delightful. Sometimes we run long, and sometimes we run in bad weather. Tomorrow we get to run long in bad weather, and grab some borders along the way. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Salem.12.9mi on 12/9. Fun. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/34127440/. There’s a convenience store at the border. BRING FOLDING ...
I Got This Invitation OK, I really want you to read this. I sent invitations to all NUMBERED BRC MEMBERS to join our new mailing list system. As of 10PM on Thursday, 69 addresses were accepted into the system. If you did not receive an invitation, or are having difficulty joining the new mailing ...
Time for Some Reflection This time of year it seems natural to take a pause and assess what you’ve done this year. The longer nights and fewer daylight hours lend themselves to contemplation of what we’ve accomplished, and maybe start thinking about what we plan for the coming year. I don’t know if we’ve developed ...
