17 years and still running.
veinte quatro de Junio, 2009
All in all, considering the past few weeks climatic punishment of precipitation, I would say we had some rather good weather for our little run this week. Not that bad weather would deter runners like you from showing up anyway. So as far as show ups go, we had 42 runners show up ready…

Was there something in the Air? Maybe it was the upcoming inclement weather, or our new aerial advertising. Whichever, runners were crawling out of the woodwork tonight. We hosted a total of 60 runners this evening, the most we have had in quite some time. As well we were shy an easy half dozen regulars,…
D5K Straight Flush Plus the Deluca Bazooka Plus More
It looks like we have five races to cover this weekend so I am going to try and do it all in this one post. Before I get into it, I want to highlight two performances: (1) Ben Goodhue ran three 5ks this weekend PR’ing on Saturday and placing 2nd 30-39 on Sunday, and (2)…

47 runners, 10 personal records, 5 first timers, and yet another new course record. To think, at 6:40 I was sitting by myself flippin popsicle sticks and crackin open a fresh brewsky, what a difference 20 minutes can make. Junyong Pak must have really been listening when I was giving out some free pointers, because he…

Harpoon Brewery 5(.3)?? Miler
When a race involves beer, you know at least a few D5Kers are likely to show up. And so it was at the Harpoon Brewery 5 Miler on Saturday where Matt Adams, TR Ramsdell, and Christina Nawn took on the odd distance of 5.3 miles (my guess is that the guy measuring the course was…
Long, Soucy Out-Hustle Hornet
Two big stories at the Hornet Hustle 5k in North Reading today. First of all, congratulations to Dave Long who won the race AND set a new course record. Great job, Dave! Second of all, those of you who have been around the D5K for a while will remember Chris Soucy who was a regular…

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…
