I pity the fool who doesn’t run the D5K….fool.  I try each week to come up with some creative way of implementing the D5K logo into some form of random but meaningful imagery. I find it to be very much like the act of running itself, you never know how you’re going to do until…

Special thanks this week to Aaron Toleos for doing a perfect job as our stunt timer. Without him I would not have had the opportunity to run with all of you this week. I do not often get the chance to feel that side of the D5K, you know “the actual run” part. As bad…

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!…

Flavor, is the word I feel best describes the D5K this week. Both literally, and intangibly. If someone asked me what the run tastes like, I would undeniably tell them that it tastes like Danny Chicks stuffed peppers. They, not having had them would reply, “I don’t understand”. Nor should they until they try the…
