There was certainly a little chill in the air tonight. It’s that time of the running season where it’s hard to pick out the right clothing, because once you start going you tend to warm up pretty quick. frank knows what I’m talking about. The scene in the parking lot before the start of the run reminded me of something out of (Close Encounters) It was very dark, with a group of lights and reflective stuff shining in all directions. With lots of indescribable noises being made. Then in a flash they all disappear, heading out into the night to do some human testing.
41 little aliens ventured out into the darkness this week. All of which found there way back to us safely, sometimes we suffer an abduction or two, but not this week. It was good to see some more old faces back here at the D5K. Danny Chick, Mike Toomey, and even Doug Whittemore showed up and slapped some pavement with us. “Great to see them all”
We were a little shy on PR’s this week, we racked up a total number of zero. We did however manage to lasso in one new runner this week. I hope she enjoyed the course and the post run entertainments. I guess you guys just can’t handle the new course.
We seem to be a man down at the moment. D5K staple, Aaron Toleos seems to have suffered a stress fracture in his foot, so he will be sidelined for a while. In true form though he showed up to root on all the runners and partake in some choice libations. Hopefully he will be back out there soon.
Well enjoy the weekend, good luck to all the D5k’ers taking part in the Baystate Marathon on Sunday, or any other races or drinking establishments you happen to find yourself at.
