Practice, Practice, Practice Once again, we gear up for our favorite Thanksgiving Day race, the venerable “Race for The Pies.” But how should we best prepare? Just like everything else. Practice the snot out of it. Tomorrow we’ll head over to South Andover and run around the Feaster Five race course, because we can. Home ...
The Day For the past several years, (at least as far as I can remember) we’ve stopped to pay tribute to those who have volunteered their service to our nation’s military, that service being crucial to securing our liberty and our way of life. We also thank and honor the several club members who ...
The Lights Are On I’ve been without power for most of the week. Luckily, most people are back by now, so I don’t have to send this via smoke signals. Not much to write this week. I know many of the side roads are still very cluttered. Simple Out-And-Back route this week on a main ...
Festive Attire Encouraged I’m not suggesting that this group has supernatural or otherworldly powers, but last year, someone dressed as his favorite orange-skinned person, and now we have a new president.

Races this weekend We’ve got a couple local popular races this weekend.

Three ladies have completed it proving there is no gender requirement for crazy. In other words, there is absolutely no reason you ...
I am pressed for time. No imagination today. Working late. Hopefully you’re thinking about running more than I am. Some of us have an Away Game I’m not sure I have the whole list so I apologize to anyone I missed, but some BRC are running the Chicago Marathon this weekend. We wish our best ...
Here Comes Fall. So… This week was warm, huh? It’s been a good summer, but I’m done. Ready for the next season? I think it’s about time for autumn to show up. Maybe we should do something scenic to take advantage of the beautiful weather predicted for Saturday morning. A nice morning run ought ...
