Collinsville maps

Never trust version 1. The awesome team of Lea Crown and Lani Ralston has provided detailed maps of the new Collinsville 6.68 or 2 x 6.68 (that would be 13.36) course. Sorry Tray, we don't come close to even miles. Not even 10k or half marathon. You can handle it. See everybody there. Thanks Lea. You are pretty much awesome.

Collinsville 6 or 6+5. Be there! Saturday 10 AM

Lindsey's running Napa on Sunday. Her first marathon. We all wish her well. She has a specific goal. Watch her make it. She promises pix!

Mike's got grandfather duty. Good for Mike.

Lani's designed a new Collinsville Winter Run. Tray, Lee, I trust Adam, I hope Kevin and I expect Lea and others will be there.
 
Saturday, March 1, 10 AM, Collinsville Winter Run,
6 or 11 mile options,

.
This challenging run starts from the former Collins Company Axe and Machete factory parking, winds along a hilly loop past the historic district of town, along the river, and into Avon before circling back to the start. At this point runners can either end their run here or opt for an additional 5 miles along the river. Alternative route options will be available in the event of inclement weather. Collinsville Rails To Trails Parking Lot, Route 179 (Main Street). From Farmington take Route 4 West through Unionville, straight onto Route 179, right at stop sign, across bridge to factory on right. From Winsted take Route 44 East, right onto Route 179 South, straight at traffic light, right at stop sign, left after kayak store to factory.


This is our new Collinsville course, one lap or 2. We are looking forward to putting on a nice little run.

Have a great weekend everybody!

A thank you before the big Napa kahuna

Dear Brickyarders:

This Sunday I will run my first marathon in Napa. I must sincerely thank you for being the coolest, kindest, badassest running group on this planet (seriously). I am lucky to have trained for 17 weeks with you. I feel prepared, thrilled, and ready to party from mile 20 onward—that’s the easy part, right? ;) All I can say at this point is the following: bring it, NAPA. Let’s do this thang! Hope the course isn’t stingy on the hills. I recently fell in love with a mountain range; next adventure will be a bit more vertical ;)

You guys are my inspiration.

With love,

Linds

Sunday racing

Tray ran Hyannis in 3:58:56. Had trouble in the last 10. Survived. Well done.

Lee ran the Jones 10 miler in 1:21:54

Sri volunteered (registration and sweep). We visited the Amherst Brewery after and had a great time!

Oh, $30 to join USATF, $40 to register, $125 for the win. 125 - 30 - 40 = 55. 

Adam and Lea ran Polar Bear 7.6 (both did Colchester yesterday!)

I looked all over for new Brickyarder Kevin Mason before the race but finally found him as I was going out to run Kathy Scotti in. He was driving home. Check out *his* time!

So I'm playing my favorite online game, Words With Friends, with Wanda Hodsen and tell her I'm heading out to Colchester. She didn't say anything about her coming. So, big surprise, Wanda and our friend
Theresa Conneely show up at Colchester!

Speaking of games, our very own Lindsey is apparently a Tetris junkee and had to get one last game in before setting out for Colchester. Only doing 8 miles it was not critical she appear before the "fun went off" but somehow managed to roll in a few nanoseconds early.



Lee ran the first 2 or so with her and then came back and ran the last 2 with her. 8 days: Napa Valley Marathon!!! Her first! Go Linds!!!

Mike, Adam and Lea made us proud today!
