We had another great turn out with 46 runners this week and perfect weather.  We really have been pretty lucky so far this summer. 

Welcome to our new-b’s this week (there must have been more than three of you?!) Daniel Leadraro, Matt Amore, and John Dowling.

This is great, every week we have a new name in first place.  This week David Long took that spot with a time of 19:11.  Tim Short literally came in on his tail with a time of 19:13.  Our third place runner was Jim Richard with a time of 19:27.  And, he’s back……. Chris Soucy came in fourth with a time of 19:36.  James DeLuca came in seconds behind taking fifth with a time of 19:38.  Kathey Moskal set herself a new PR this week with a time of 28:53.  Excellent job folks!

We have our new pretty pink sign in sheet now, which seems to be working well.  There are two boxes on there for you to check off if you are new with us or set a new PR for the week.  So, do not forget to check it off so that we can welcome you and acknowledge your new records!

And as always thank you to everyone that brought out some cans, please keep them coming!

We will see y’all next week.
