Danvers 5k

I think this image says it all about this Wednesday night.

HOT…HOT…HOT.

However the fact that it’s a million degrees out just somehow didn’t seem to register to roughly 60 runners who showed up for the D5K this week.

That’s a total of 186 sole melting miles thrown down in under 45 minutes. Luckily we had plenty of re-hydration devices on hand to get everyone back on track afterwards.

Many thanks to Gary Jones for bringing down some grilleables for everyone to munch on post-run. Good Stuff

I look forward to seeing everyone next week on a hopefully slightly cooler Wednesday Evening.

Alright, I’lm going to lye down for a while, I am just getting over my first case of heat stroke. What a wild type of experience, it’s like some one reached into your body and took your batteries out, I went to bed Friday night, and basically woke up Sunday Morning. It’s Monday afternoon and I’m still not 100%, what a weird thing to have. Oh well…enough whining.

D5K regular Jim Pawlicki has been spreading the running love and kickin some butt. This is a great  article and an even greater accomplishment.

Somwhere in this pile of ice and glass lies my memory. Which for the last few weeks has been “short term” at best. Forgetting the results, forgetting the blog, and just plain old forgetting to forget. 

The rapid current which has been my July and August seem to have slowed there churning a bit, allowing me to get back on track with unfortunate items which fell by the wayside. 

With that being said:

We gave host to 39 runners this week. Of those Moe Kelley took top honors, coming in first with his family cheering him on with boisterous accolades and homemade signs. For the girls Annie Rose Willis once again carries the torch of victory coming in first (again) 

3 Newbies took us for a spin this week, and from what I could tell I think they enjoyed the ride.

Wrap it all up and finish it off with 2 Personal Records, and you got yourself a pretty nice D5K. The post run libation scene was pretty good as well, not too shabby for a Wednesday.

see you all next week.
