July 9th at Brickyard


And the "winner" is ... Mama Rose! Well, Lea "won" in the wet running clothes contest but Rose "won" in the longest run department. How does 15.1 sound? She showed up at 6:30 AM, ran North for 2.5, turned back and ran 2.5 to the parking lot. She and Barbara knocked out another 10+. Brent greeted new Brickyarder Steve Hudson who jogged in from 2 miles away and then Brent, Lea and Tray headed South, trying to find Rose and Barbara. Dave Condit and Larry Chaves were coming back as we were heading out. Lea and Tray eventually paired off while Brent and Lee did the same. We joined up with Steve for our return trip to the parking lot. Steve just emailed me and said he's signed up for Hogsback and joined the Hartford Track Club. This guy doesn't waste any time! Great to meet you Steve! See you next Saturday. Since a bunch of us are racing on Sunday we'll not be going anywhere nearly as long on the 16th.

There were a lot of people out there today!

Finally got back to the parking lot where Linda was nowhere to be found (she was out walking the North trail). Tray talked a bit about going to see somebody about her foot needing attention but I think it's going to be OK. Lea and Lee added another 2 while Brent added another 3.

I hope you followed all this! Sorry Mari and Beth weren't with us today. Kelsey was MIA but we knew that would be the case. He will not be doing the Enfield Twilight 5K after all this evening. More about this on our Brickyarders' Log.

So ... what's coming up? The GE Petit 5K for Tray, Lee, Brent, Rose, you?

We wish Lani all sorts of good vibrations in the next 2 weeks as she readies herself to participate in Iron Man Lake Placid. We absolutely know you will do your best! Enjoy the day!

  1. Was fun to run with good runners on the path and add a run to base building, to be ready for the Hogs back 1/2 mary.

    one brick at a time?

  2. Welcome Steve! Great to have you "aboard" and glad you enjoyed your first run with us. A better group is hard to find. See you next Saturday.

  3. Awesome job guys!

    Just found out my sister has been sneakily running, and says she has been following a plan (for a marathon, maybe?). But anyway, she skampered 7 miles this week at 12 minutes per mile - which is really fantastic for her! I've asked her if she wants to come out on Saturdays or run with me during the week at a park! Maybe she'll join up!

    I'm planning to knock out my 13 miles tomorrow morning; will update on the log!
