HTC Winter Series 2015!

Norfolk Pub 10 Miler

Adam, Mike and Lee ran Norfolk Saturday at 11 am. Adam and Lee traded places twice but, "unfortunately" for Lee, the 2nd time put Mr. Osmond in front and the rest is history. Well done Adam. 

It looked like yet another 169 Society Love Fest, especially at the "railroad." Photo by Derek MacDonald.

Norfolk

Mike is pretty sure he's going to make it. Here's a 2012 Garmin record which shows the lollipop course and the hills. For many, this is the last race of the year. See you there?!

Christmas Party at Tray's

Close friends at Tracy's annual Brickyarders' Christmas party.

Tray went sub-4 (3:57) (for the first time at Roxbury). Lee ran 4:21. Joe was just over 4. Kate Stoker, "Serena Speedi," Bill Odendahl, Torpedo ran. Mike and Brian Fidler volunteered. Linda took pictures. Some of the pix are by David McNamara.

 Roxbury is a very, very beautiful place.

 Do you agree?

 Just before the race started.

Linda Bradley

Roxbury full

Tracy, Joe, Lee, Vanessa, Torpedo, and Mike (volunteering). Brian Fidler is also volunteering. Wanda got an email saying she got in (was #47 on the waiting list). But she can't do either it or the 50k cuz she has a Christmas concert rehearsal she forgot about. Her concert is Sunday at First Church in Wethersfield. At 4 PM.

Ok. Roxbury. 8:30 AM. It's gonna be cold but not 2013 cold.

 Let's run it!

Santa's Run

Rose and Lee ran Santa's Run at noon today. Wanda, Andy Zyrek, Karen Armillei and many other friends ran.

It did not rain during the 2 miler but it sure was cold at the random draw at the end. 

 

Count 'em!! Rose, Lani, Lee, Joe and Tray all got bling. We had a couple of ringers along too, Bill Gagnon and Karen Prado (Armillei) :) This is what we looked like at the awards.

How many Santas can we collect tomorrow?

I am pretty sure our very own Tracy Z. snared her first trophy ever at Tinsel. A few pix that should make us all smile.

Lani and Rose crush Malibu

Rose writes:

Lani and I went to run the Malibu Fitness 5K. I think that is the craziest thing I've done in all my life! They did not put salt on the road, it was a sheet of ice. I was so happy to finish in 38 minutes without going to the hospital. 
There was nobody in my age group. I won a beautiful trophy!  I was the craziest woman to run  in that condition. I think the yoga classes helped me. I have a really good balance now.  After Lani and I ran fast 5K on the treadmill that was fun and safe. Today the sun is out and it's a beautiful day. We are going to cut up the Christmas tree.

Lani had a good race yesterday. 2/60 in her age group! She ran 2 miles before the race and 5 miles after the race. And she was not afraid of the ice! I thought I was the only one in my age but I guess I was wrong There were four of us crazy old ladies!

Have a great Thanksgiving
