Busy weekend. A lot of runners were able to squeeze in two events with the Monday holiday races. This post is for the Dory Run in Swampscott. A 5K. It was a warm day and this race has a pesky hilly section in the middle. Two things I hate the most. However, there were some…

Congratulations to Gregg Crean who finished his first half marathon today at almost four minutes under goal pace in Boston’s Run to Remember.  Congrats also to “Coach” Ramsdell who helped Gregg with his training and served as his pacer for the race. Of course, Annie Rose clocked a blistering pace as usual. Great job all!…

Despite a sweltering heat that had most runners 15-30 seconds off their pace and landed at least one D5K’er in the hospital (all better now), it was a good day for most of our runners. Congrats especially to Annie Rose Willis who was the first overall female and Dave Long second overall male. Tim Short…

It looks like the Jones trio took on the AOH 5k in Peabody along with a few other D5k regulars (see results below). Congratulations to Elizabeth Jones who placed third in her age group. Excellent job! Almost beat Mark too. Also congrats to Tim Short who won his age group handily and placed fourth overall.…

So I convinced TR to drive down to Malden since I knew it was a small race and that he had a good chance of placing. Although he is still recovering from pneumonia, he did well — placing third in his age group and twelfth overall in the 5k. I ran the 10k — about…

At the Claddagh 4-miler in Lawrence on Sunday, it was a close finish for D5K regulars TR Ramsdell and Frank “Alarmclock” Lanzillo. Although Lanzillo closed the gap in the final few meters, Ramsdell was able to hold on — crossing the finish line just one second in the lead. The most amusing part of this…
