Conversation Starters Everybody’s got one. Show me yours and I’ll show you mine. How bad can it be? Aw, it’s not that bad. It’s cute. Mind Back Up Here, Please You do realize we’re talking about obscure race/event T-shirts? Yes? Please tell me you weren’t thinking of something else. I’m not sure I want ...
Rational Behavior Can we talk? Good. This week I bought a new running timepiece. It’s too expensive to call a GPS device or even a watch. Even though I have not one but two perfectly functional Garmin 305s (circa 2006) I felt a compelling need to drop a bundle on what is admittedly a really ...
Going Back to High School Really, if you think about it, if I had left myself more time to put this missive together, there is so much to work with. “Warriors, come to play-ay” would have been fun. Something about Knights on the Run could have worked. But your time-busted scribe let this one slip ...
Get Your Borders Here! Apologies for being pre-occupied today. I’m getting ready for a run and I’m still pulling stuff together so I don’t have a route planned for you tomorrow. Sue Parke just finished her first marathon on the 18th, quite an achievement as you all know. Now she would like to complete her ...

Who Misses Boxford? Haven’t been there in a while so we really ought to go there…the hard way. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/49735790/ Less Filling Option For those of you who want/need smaller mileage this week, there is always the Executive Route. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/952551117/ Boston Marathon Results Congratulations to everyone who got out there and ran on Monday. ...
120th Running Boston. Enough said. Shakedown Run Anyone running on Monday probably doesn’t have big miles on their training plan. A marathon isn’t a test you can cram for. Perhaps an easy 3.1 miles is sufficient. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/767827785/ Big Miles Anyone not running the Marathon on Monday who does have big miles on their ...
Proper spring weather is just about here, so now’s the perfect time to order a BRC singlet! This version of the club singlet is in safety green and, like the blaze orange singlets, will sport the BRC logo boldly across the chest. It’s available in both men’s and women’s cuts, and according to the vendor ...
Have you heard of Becca Pizzi? In case you haven’t, this past winter she became the first woman to complete the World Marathon Challenge, which requires you to run seven marathons.
