Something For Everyone Next week we have options. You can run 5K or you can run 10K or you can run a Half Marathon. Or you can run two races. Or you can run all three. How could I possibly set up a run this week to prepare for all of those options? Easy. Math. ...
ATTENTION: Different START location this week – We are meeting in this parking lot at Merrimack College. Classic Routes DMSE and Runners World put together three routes and made some fancy maps with moving circles. We’ll check out two of the three this weekend.
