Third Test!

Still not sure if I understood the correct method of replying to the email. On TWO previous attempts, it appears I was not sending my reply to teamprimalforce.run-4@blogger.com.

Here's my text on the two previous attempts which MAY have gone only to  teamprimalforce@gmail.com

"Good morning Lee!  This comes to you probably AS you are running!

Those expanding hearts on the "old" but still existent blog

are still working.  Enjoy the day with Brent and all your friends at the Brickyard!"

I've decided to disable this blog since it no longer is being used. It has been up and running for quite a while and has many stories, photos etc. Now I've got to figure out how to disable it. I don't want to delete it because I want the old posts to remain online.

Mike T., Lee, Brent and Peter H. ran the 5K in New Haven this morning. Here  are a few pics Mike took.

53rd annual Bernie Jurale Memorial Tradition Run

Tracy, Jason, and Lee ran it this morning. Awesome patch and certificate of completion picked up by Linda for me as I hung out at the top chatting w/ friends. I think it was David Hoople who took this picture of me, Karen and Wanda. 

Norfolk Pub 10 miler

Peter marked the course. Lani ran it and videoed it.

You had to be at the Pub to get your Pez but Will came over to our table and gave me Lani's (which I'll deliver this morning at Brickyard).

Runnng with Sherman

Review of Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall - 5 stars - Lee Bradley - 9/27/22 This book was so interesting to me I've ordered eight copies to give to friends. A friend of mine gave her copy to me. She was telling me about it and the story sounded similar to another book I've read and it was quickly explained by the fact that Born to Run was Christopher McDougall's first book. You don't have to be a runner to like this book. But a runner will definitely like it. It's about a guy who gets the crazy idea of running a race in the Rocky Mountains tethered to a donkey (Sherman). This is a thing, I learned -- donkey / man (or woman it turns out) races. Annual events, attended by hundreds, distances of 15 to 29 miles. Difficult. Elevations where the air is thin. Streams that need to be crossed. Sherman is a rescue, and when found is in very bad shape. Filthy, his hooves all curled up. He is tended to and much later is able to walk, then run. There are about 5 main characters (and 3 donkeys) in the book and many more along the way. Tanya is one of them and she is responsible early on for helping Chris and Sherman. This autobiographical story is not just about training to run a crazy ultra with a donkey. It's also about the healing effect animals can have on compromised young boys and young adults. There are digressions throughout the chapters, scientific references telling us how autistic boys are often aided by their association with animals. (I ran a race in Connecticut a while back and still have the hat I bought with its Little Britches Therapeutic Riding logo.) Zeke is a college student who is helped when he hooks up with the author after an unsuccessful suicide. A brilliant, athletic, good looking guy, something went terribly wrong. He asks his mother if he can give Chris a call. Slowly but surely he and Sherman bond and somewhat reluctantly Chris takes him on as one of the three burrow / human team. Mikla (Chris's wife) and Chris are the other two. About 2/3 of the way in the book, Zeke gets his leg broken and the impossible challenge begins to look even less likely to succeed. Tanya herself (who helped everybody in many ways) is blindsided when her husband leaves her. She was to be the person who would transport the animals from Pennsylvania to Colorado. She needs to take care of the farm, now, alone. Who's going to pull the trailer? As odds against the adventure slip away, two not young at all ladies surface and take the job! McDougall writes extremely well. The book is even at times laugh out loud funny! You will love this book. Trust me.

Here's what the Brickyard runners looked like this morning:

Tray, Jason, Lee, Christine and Brent are doing Southington's Apple Harvest 5 miler next Sunday Oct. 2. Barbara and Lani are doing the 5K. 

Hartford full and half are coming up. Christine, Peter and Lani are running.

Brent, and Lee have registered for the Roxbury 1/2 on Sunday Nov. 12. Tray and Jason will probably do it too. Jamie's Run is on Saturday, Nov. 6. This is a 5K in Old Wethersfield. Brent and Lee are registered.

Tray goes over 40, Lee goes under 12 on Saturday

40 is miles, 12 is minutes per mile. Tray completed a 9 hour ultra on Saturday, placing 2nd woman and 3rd overall. Lee completed his 168th Connecticut town on Saturday in the Bozrah 5K. He didn't place (and got beat by almost 85 year old Jose Wernock in the final 50 yards despite Linda's yelling at him as she saw the impending rout). Here is a slip of paper Tracy shared which shows B, C, and A women.

Here's what Lee, Linda, Mena and friends looked like at Bozrah and his Garmin.
