Tinsel Fun Run

This Saturday. 11 AM. Registration before 10:30 AM race day.

For those who are aren't doing the Taco run (10 tacos, eat 1 per mile), consider the 34th annual.

Don Osborne

Don Osborne died yesterday. I ran Echo Lake (a 5 miler in Vermont) with him many times. He was 98. He remembered his Boston times to the second (and I think there were about 70 people running it at the time). His wife Marilyn died unexpectedly a few years back.

Running a bit

This week I ran some 1 and 2 mile distances. Very slow but had to test out the knee. No issues and even though its baby steps, I feel the worst is over.

On Saturday I am one of the organizers for the Collinsville Trick or Trot 5K. I created the course for the Dollars for Scholars people and have helped with many of the racing tasks. It's a quick out and back onto the Farmington Rail Trail.

Brent, Tray, Jason, Lee - Mikey's Place and Bay State

Brent and Lee ran Mikey's Place 5K this morning in Wethersfield. This is the 21st annual and had lots of young kids participating. Divisions like girls 9 to 10, boys 9 to 10, girls 11 to 12, boys you get the picture. Such a beautiful thing to see those proud recipients of their trophies.

Mr Stratton managed

234 31 Brent Stratton 25 M 63 4 M60+ 23:45 23:47 7:40

He was preceded by our friends

303 20 Peter Briggeman 16 M 61 2 M60+ 23:03 23:04 7:26
377 27 Kevin Tranberg 22 M 51 3 M5059 23:32 23:34 7:35

And followed by 30 178 Lee Bradley 104 M 77 11 M60+ 34:41 34:42 11:11

East of Wethersfield, Tray and Jason ran the Bay State Marathon.

Tray 4:11
Jason 5:50

Tray bettered her last year Hartford by 5 minutes. She thinks running "nice, slow ultras" are more to her liking. I think 4:11 is a very respectable time.

Brent and Lee are heading to Brickyard Saturday next. Can you join us?
