Fwd: The fall distance festival is back!! Sept 22

It's on! Tray asked about it, I talked to Marty about it, he said it looked doubtful, and now ..., it's on!

I don't think I can make it but this is one awesome event and all Brickyarders need to put it on their calendar. Thank you Marty!

Run 10K, 20K, or 30K. How many races do you know that have those options? And it's inexpensive.

SUNDAY SEPT 22? THE FALL DISTANCE FESTIVAL IS ON Sept 22- the date on the logo is wrong, REGISTRATION is OPEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

This is so last minute but the park pavilion which wasn?t available- is now ours! That means I?ve got less than 4 weeks to get this set but after 19+ years it?s doable.

IF YOU?RE LOOKING FOR A NICE, EASY, FLAT, SCENIC TRAINING RUN- THIS IS IT. ?In the Lordship section of Stratford, plenty of water views, quiet, more squirrels/rabbits and an occasional Fox than there are cars.?

AND A SPECIAL ?NO CREDIT CARD FEE WEEKEND? starting now thru Sunday Sept 1 at 8pm. ?PLEASE REG ASAP.?

Don?t worry about the date in the graphic. I couldn?t change that yet. It?s Sept 22.

I HOPE YOU?LL RETURN. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE PAST YEARS.?

The Streak ends

Well.....after 1,660 consecutive days(4.45 years) of running, my streak has come to an end. After my fall on the weekend my knee never improved. Had x-rays this morning. No fractures but bursitis and other tendon issues. Doc assumes I bruised the patella. MRI later today to check the meniscus. If meniscus ok then I'll be back at it soon.

Taking is easy

Due to the pain in my knee I restricted myself to 1 mile today in White River Junction VT.  I had done 3 yesterday but paid for it all day with swelling and a lot of pain. After the mile this morning I walked 2 miles. Need that 1 mile to keep the streak alive! Still painful. I'm OK taking it easy but need to get ready for Hogsback next month. If I can get back to normal running by next week I should be OK.

Lousy run today

Yesterday on my trail run I fell on a dirt section. No injury and no big deal. But, as the day went on it became painful. So painful I could barely walk. This morning I tried to run very slowly and carefully. It was a challenge and could only maintain a run for 1 mile. On my return I walked with only a couple of attempts at running. I rested it as much as possible today with the hope that its minor and will pass. I don't have any swelling or discoloration. My streak may be in jeopardy!

Westport Summer Series 9.3 miler

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3985526951

I ran the 9.3 mile Westport summer series race this morning at 8 AM. Ran into Andie Williamson, Ronnie Behringer and Rob Fryer whom I haven't seen in ages. Went to the Sherwood diner on Rt 1 (Post Rd) after on Ronnie's suggestion.

PS Looks like we've got some formatting issues w/ this new way of posting. Oh well. Works pretty well though, don't you think?!

Metacomet Run today

I did 10 miles mostly on the Metacomet. Started at Res #6 and followed the trail to Penwood where I did a shortened loop. Then headed back on the Metacomet up to Heublein Tower. Fell once and hurt my left knee. Hopefully nothing serious but still very sore 4 hours later. Love getting out in these cool temps.

teamprimalforce.run-4@blogger.com and more

I have updated the Brickyarders blog in a couple of ways ...

The automatic email notification list has been edited and now you are on it. This means that whenever there is a post to the blog you will be notified of it.

A quick and easy way for you to post something to the blog has been revived. Just send an email to

teamprimalforce.run-4@blogger.com

and it will appear as a post on the blog.

Let us know if all this works.

Tray and I (Lee) will be putting up an announcement on various sites (169, CT Runners, HTC) that the Brickyarders will again be meeting Saturday mornings at 8 AM. (Occasionally earlier in the hot summer months, 7:30 AM, and sometimes Sunday, we'll let you know.)

And remember, when you get to the bridge, you are required to walk. Rose rules!

A clearer, albeit complicated, description of how to post a picture in the log. Good luck.

Windham's Dillon looks back on Ruiz controversy

Brent reminded me that Lori Riley wrote an article in last Sunday's Courant on Patti Dillon. Once again, Lori nailed it with great research

Lobster Loop - Canton and an idea for The New & Improved Brickyarders!

http://www.plattsys.com/m1shell.php?eventid=1843


Mike, Lani, Barbara & Lee ran it. Barbara was 2 minutes quicker than Lee. I expect Lani was ahead of us all. Mike and Lee crossed simultaneously.

Tracy texted Lee last night and wondered if we could revive our Saturday morning runs at Brickyard or a similar place. I see no reason why not. I chatted w/ Mike and Barbara @ the race and they agree. Let's float the idea among our Hartford Track Club and 169 friends on Facebook and thu word of mouth.

Let the New and Improved Brickyarders find our way back to our roots, find new folks to join us. There are a ton of runners that show up at Brickyard on Saturdays. Let's keep Rose's memory alive. I bet there are still rocks out there. I've got some at home I could spread around.
