Mother Nature really loves us, and sees fit to prove it to us every single Wednesday. I swear at 6:05 p.m. it was clear out, at 7:00 p.m. as you know, basically a white out. She does like to keep it interesting for us. Regardless of the blinding conditions we still managed to drum up…

Where to start…where to start. 1. First I really really like you alot, and I want you to be my Valentine. 2. A fast recovery to our D5K regular T.R. Ramsdell, who caught pneumonia when he was down in Florida trying out for the new Disney on Ice tour. 3. The Temperature! We REALLY needed…

Smear on the COOL. It ALWAYS goes on good. On these cold winter runs, it’s very easy to end up with chapped lips, and chapped lips equals no kissey-kissey. I know we put a lot of emphasis on reflective clothing and car dodging. Your safety is priority ONE with us here at the D5K. Sometimes…

It Rained…We Ran. 🙂 Where does the time go? I don’t really know, I blink it’s here, blink again…poof, it’s a week later. I can’t speak for every minute of time, but I do know where on average 30 minutes are spent every Week. To be a little more descript I know where 24 people spent…

Trust me when I say you guys have issues. We had 28 runners, which felt like one runner for every degree of temperature it was outside. I guess somewhere deep inside of me, far away from my numb appenditures, I admire the devotion you all show towards running. I guess adverse conditions can add…

What a nice night for a run. The temperature was just right. As is evident by the 8 Personal Records that were set this evening. We had a comfortable crowd consisting of 33 runners, with 4 first timers sprinkled in there for good measure. With daylight savings in full affect, it is safe to say…
