Tonight BRCers Gene Fay and Thor Kirleis will make history (as well as themselves dizzy) by running in the first Fenway Park Marathon: 115 laps around the inside of the stadium, put on by fellow BRCer Dave McGillivray. Check out this (front page!) article in today’s Eagle-Tribune about Gene and his race tonight: http://www.eagletribune.com/news/local_news/local-man-runs-in-first-ever-marathon-held-inside-baseball/article_774100ea-8301-50b2-9ac0-02aef164efd7.html And ...
Looks like a lot of us are away this weekend I know we’ve got a lot of members and friends who will be in New Hampshire this weekend, terrorizing the locals, and committing general mayhem while running from Bretton Woods to Hampton Beach. Given the opportunity, some people thought it might be a good time ...
Sometimes I’m selfish When we can admit this to ourselves, we will know when it is appropriate to be selfish, and when we should look out for others. This week, I am hoping to bring back someone who may (or may not) want to run half the route instead of the whole thing, and this ...
No Frills I just got back from vacation. No fancy email this week. Just two simple routes to get you started. The Long and The Short of it Still in line with people training for different longer things, I’ll get one out here that will help you get your miles, and maybe do a little ...
At Least We Hit a Border Last week’s run was fun. Short, but fun. We had a lot of people come out, and had two RWOB’s hit the South Andover border. Any members want to record that border for renewals? Drop me an email. Time to Look Ahead Now, I know people are training for ...
Well, it’s HOT I was running in the heat recently, as we all do from time to time, and I started thinking to myself about the “Dog Days of Summer.” Why do we call it that? Luckily, there’s “The Google.” I found a nice, science-sounding answer on Space.com linking it to a celestial origin: https://www.space.com/8946-dog-days-summer-celestial-origin.html ...
Just got power back – short, boring email Just so you know, I try to write this weekly letter the night before I send it. Last night (or right now, as I scribe) some of us in out-country were without power until roughly 9:00. I used the time in the dark to my advantage, in ...
Border Renewals I was serious about renewing my borders. You can be, too. I’ll keep track of them, if you want to report in on them. Just drop me an email. I had the pleasure of renewing Middleton last week with Members 48, 76, and 84. You’re all on my list. Anyone in the fast ...
What a great turnout! It was such a great night out with friends old and new. I was fully surprised that some of you showed up, knowing your preferences. What an outstanding way to support our new members. We’re wedded to each other in ways that non-runners couldn’t begin to understand. Also, I have ...
Gallimaufry[ˌɡaləˈmôfrē] NOUN A confused jumble or medley of things. No, I am not as erudite as you may think. I read this word in a blog from Mark Remy while looking for inspiration for my first real route plan. I had a bye last week thanks to Paul O’Neill and the BRC Triathlon (more ...
