Joining the ranks of Steph, Larry and Sri, Chip Bradley has been made an Honorary Brickyarder. He has exemplified the true spirit of being a Brickyarder. Each of us is different, so there are no general qualifications to being a Brickyarder. Chip's recent consistent logging efforts and his persistence in keeping his runs short to prevent injury are noteworthy. He has a long term goal to qualify for Boston, as do many. Some Brickyarders will be running the Newport Full and Newport Half this Fall. It has been suggested that with luck, careful training, Chip might want to consider registering for the Newport Half and run w/ his group.
He will now be able to enjoy the benefits of being a Brickyarder which include but are not limited to slogging thru the wintery roads we've seen of late, trading ideas thru the blog and hopefully running a few races in the Fall. Another benefit is he has been put on the auto email list so now he will be notified whenever somebody posts her/his story, result, dream, disappointment, photo, plan.
Welcome!
Thanks very much for this honorary welcoming! Nice to be "here" with you guys. I appreciate it, well... a lot. As for the "benefits" of
ReplyDeletebeing a Brickyarder -- I just 'love' the being greeted YET AGAIN
with this slap-in-the-face SLUSH storm. NOT. I am sooo ready for the first croci. I saw a bunch the other day. Now they are 6
inches under! But back to running... I heartily accept your invitation(s) ... and suggestions ... to run Newport's half this 10/13. A quality half (run well) would mean more to me (obviously) than a "completed" full that might leave me hurting. Running with you all would be great. As for other fall races, maybe that 8/4 Sea legs shuffle 10 miler might work. There's
also New Haven as a (training run). I'm in! Also, glad to be on the email list. Thanks!
