New Scottish Rite 5K course

The course for the 5K in Newington on July 23rd (Scottish Rite) is different than in past years. It's a little easier in that it eliminates the approx. 3/4 mile fairly steep hill up Lamplighter Lane. It's a two loop course now. The Candlewyck Dr to Stagecoach Lane section on the 2nd loop is shorter and less steep than the Lamplighter section of previous years. 

Branford Road Race

Brent, Peter Hawley, Lee, Larry Regan (and many many others) ran the Branford Road Race on Sunday.

Lee placed 2nd in 80+ (11:04 pace). Brent ran 8 minute and very low change. And was a bit ahead of Peter at the end. Larry totally killed it.

Brent and Lee are running the Petit 5K on July 10th at 9 AM. Interested? Link is on the right on the blog. Lee's shooting for a 10 minute pace.

Celebrate and Litchfield

Lani writes (to me):

"Did you run at Brickyard?"

(Answer: Linda and I went to Brickyard and I did the out and back while she walked to the bridge and then back w/ me. Lots of (considerate) bikes passed us. Spotted a bunch of tiny ducklings and their parents and also what we're pretty sure was an eagle flying overhead. Thought of all you guys running races.)

"Barbara and I ran on Saturday, then she went to Long Island.

I got a good pic of Mike at Celebrate West Hartford 5K, and of course there were a lot of other HTC folk. I even got a photo of the juggling runner!

Peter and I went to LHRR where we ran close times.  We never found Christine, but she was there and confirmed Gallows Lane is adequately named. I saw the Manchester Running Company team, but did not see Brent amongst them. (Brent was up in Maine running the Market Square 10K).

I've attached some photos, in case you want them for the blog and you can feel free to use this email text.
