Danvers 5k

Great night for a run with a temp in the upper 50’s and clear skies. What a huge turn out with many thanks to the article published in the Salem Evening News, which was titled “Danvers 5K road race is a hit”, check it out at this link http://www.salemnews.com/archivesearch/local_story_106001158.html. We look forward to seeing more new faces next week.

Our first female, Jen Howland, came in first place last night with Aaron Toleos on her tail in second out of 39 runners. Way to go guys!

Thanks so much to all the people who brought in cans for the Danvers People to People Food Pantry donations. We collected around 50+ cans and boxed goods last night, every can makes a difference so keep them coming!

What a great run last night, although it was a bit chilly and windy the whole group finished in under 30 minutes.  Way to go guys! 

Jared Keohane did a great job coming in 1st this week, with Jen Howland on his heels in 2nd!  Hey Jared, maybe if we all had our family trailing behind in their cars cheering us on we’d all finish in under 21 min’s.  “Go Jared Go!”

It was great to see some new faces, we hope to see you all again next week

Billy Prentiss (fastest 60 yr old) with Jen Howland (fastest 20 yr old) both had a great run last night!

A great night. 45 degrees and plenty of light. Tim Short wore his flats tonight so I think he may have been trying to beat his own course record… came up only 2 seconds short– doh! Still over a minute ahead of anybody else though.

Jen Howland, on the other hand, was just wearing her “off the rack” shoes and ended up crushing her course record by 19 seconds. Great job, Jen! I told you the Injinjis would make you faster.
