As the daylight starts to dwindle, we start to deal with the realization that Summer is coming to a close. GOOD! Cooler tempatures equals faster times.

We welcomed a good group of runners this evening. With a nice mix of regulars and newbies, and ages ranging from 10 to the 10 at heart. 

Our group consisted of 38 runners, with Tim Short finishing first with a time of 17:39. Crystal Anthony finished tops for Women, posting a 19:35. We had seven new runners this week bringing some new flavor and personality, and if I am not mistaken a little friendly rivalry to the fun run.

First Timers:

Keith Levesque         21:38

Tim Lewis                 25:22

Andrea Ferri              27:50

Natasha Coyne          27:54

Colleen Napoli          30:32

Mason Nalipinski      38:18

Quanah Lawarence    38:19

 

The excitment this week would have to be in the 10 year old category. Mason Nalipinski and Quanah Lawrence put on an impressive show for us finishing a mere one second apart. After the run I sensed there may be a little running rivalry in the making. We’ll have to see how this one evolves. 

A quick note before closing, shorter days equals less daylight. So think safety. A reflective running vest, a blinking light, a headlamp, olympic torch, a jar of fire flies. Some of these things are good options to consider running with, I leave it up to you to decide which suits you best.

Thanks to all.
