Lee and Karen

We certainly didn't break any records but we sure had fun. Karen and Lee crossed together. Actually, this was our 2nd crossing ... when Dave Hoople saw us do it we were told to go back and do it again, just to record the moment. Wanda (and Karen) and a bunch of other Trail Mixers warmed up w/ a 5 mile in the woods run.

Bomb Cyclone award announced.

And the winner is ...

Ledyard 5k

.

Happy New Year All!

Taricani and Bradley knocked down the Ledyard 5k yesterday. Not sure what the wind chill values were but it's supposed to be even better (worse?) today, January 1.

Be sure to visit the December 2017 log (http://primepuzzle.com/runlog/december_2017.htm) for the last few entries (especially Taricani's unbelievable streak stats and the younger Bradley's snow angel ridden wind chill remarks).

Lynette Walker

I had lunch w/ Lori Riley today after our 5k in New Fairfield. She mentioned Lynette Walker. Here's the article.

And here's a pic of us after our race.

Run for the Woods 10k

This is Mike's "backyard." Sessions Woods. He, Robyn, and I ran it at 8:30 this morning. The weather was quite cool and I (Lee) was underdressed, aka, frozen. A beautiful course, challenging climbs, roots and rocks everywhere. I was just thinking how cool it was, having covered about 5 miles with no fall. Bam. Upright root caught me and I went down. Not a bad fall at all. Mostly pissed I fell. I think I was next to last. My watch read 5.58 miles but everybody else read about right (6.2) so maybe I blew a turn. I'd like to do it again next year.

Thank you Mike for the pictures.

It was a beautiful day to run. I missed seeing Jo M. and Barbara K. but Linda found them.

Lee took 2:18 to cover the distance. Don Capone beat him by 1 minute. John Courtmanche told Linda "I'm done" at about 6.5 miles and then volunteered on the water line. He usually beats Lee. The guy that did beat Lee beat him by 21 minutes. Ugh.

Larry Regan ran the 1/2

Adam was a pacer

Robyn Errickson, Linda and Lee carpooled down

Bulletin:

Spozed to be hot on Monday. In the 80's. Just sayin'.

Let's see ...

Barbara, Jo Marchetti, Lee, and Robyn are running the 20k. Karen is running the 5k.

It's been a while for me. John B. has two long races now, the 20k and the 1/2. I've never run the 5k.

This Monday!
