Congratulations to Jess, who placed 1st in her age group with a time of 20:17; Aaron, who, with a time of 18:41, placed 2nd in his age group; and to JR, who placed 3rd in his age group with a time of 19:27. You guys rock! </span><br />

I wanted to check and see if anyone wants the bib. The race is on October 24th so if you think you'd be interested in running it let me know.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy running!</div><div>Melissa</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362683051246518611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764488370745338910.post-61573553385313212352010-08-17T09:01:00.003-04:002010-08-17T09:18:40.968-04:00Let's Do the Ten-Miler Again!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaPLCOYRRpfnpzphA8Num1-BQSS_XKLG9zpgTFDTw5_VrbifH9zHLrfXdRNG6w7ESqN5AZkPW0UFXrm4AX4oeKLd9vpuUUbYwxQaBY5l7CJdAD41QW3S05Pe7jE6JY6P63oSmvJnJE14/s1600/MickRock2007-FebL.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506363970750201506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 398px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaPLCOYRRpfnpzphA8Num1-BQSS_XKLG9zpgTFDTw5_VrbifH9zHLrfXdRNG6w7ESqN5AZkPW0UFXrm4AX4oeKLd9vpuUUbYwxQaBY5l7CJdAD41QW3S05Pe7jE6JY6P63oSmvJnJE14/s400/MickRock2007-FebL.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">For those interested in extra mileage for the Tuesday and Thursday runs. I will be trekking out for 10 instead of the classic 6. The only other difference is an earlier start time 6:25-6:40 is a must. Leave a post or text me if you are going for the 10. I expect to be at the store by 6:20. See you there!</span><br /><div></div>DMLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03164700574157243042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764488370745338910.post-67457004220755222010-08-12T16:14:00.002-04:002010-08-12T16:20:07.646-04:00Run At Own Risk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTN18MeN_-iJbcx9YHRXKrI0AEuduOzS78YkScOZ0YsHSbOZcqtQMudFRqfWqxondMCxyUo5s7Wq3hBTiJ6D80uf4JaYykhBCxK5zVxga7qmVG_ei3puq4SiWzKNVgCFTRJZFfHUd1kQ/s1600/stormy_weather_sticker-p217848623410180321qjcl_400.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504619412238417890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTN18MeN_-iJbcx9YHRXKrI0AEuduOzS78YkScOZ0YsHSbOZcqtQMudFRqfWqxondMCxyUo5s7Wq3hBTiJ6D80uf4JaYykhBCxK5zVxga7qmVG_ei3puq4SiWzKNVgCFTRJZFfHUd1kQ/s320/stormy_weather_sticker-p217848623410180321qjcl_400.jpg" border="0" /></a> Running today (outside) Not recommended, but if you do; be safe and forget about being dry, that's not in the cards no matter how fast you are.<br /><div></div>DMLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03164700574157243042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764488370745338910.post-4893724883710966122010-08-11T22:30:00.004-04:002010-08-11T22:33:11.638-04:009 Miles for Thursday anyone?Hi All, Once again my training plan is calling for a 9 miler tomorrow (Thursday), so I'm hoping that there are others that would like to join me...already had a few takers at the happy hour tonight, but leave a comment if you'd like to join in so we know to expect you! We'll leave the store a bit early~ at 6:40 from the store. See you tomorrow!<div><br /></div><div>Not quite as creative as Degas here with the cartoons, especially seeing as how it's after the happy hour and I'm looking forward to sleep. Will try harder next time.</div>Gretahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08430359755807262273noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764488370745338910.post-28090171336540024202010-08-11T10:34:00.004-04:002010-08-11T10:46:02.498-04:00Battle Sites in the UK & USHi all, apologies if this all goes terribly wrong but it's my first post. I just thought I'd post this link because the Spartan Race comprises of a set of races that take place over here in jolly ol' England as well as the Big US of A (Boston in August and LA in December). I intend to participate in the Cambridge (UK) race next month and, from the looks of it, the course is pretty hardcore! The first three men and women that make it through each race get free entry to the Spartan Race World Championships "THE DEATH RACE" <a href="http://www.youmaydie.com/">http://www.youmaydie.com/</a> in Pittsfield, Vermont! Surely thats a big enough incentive?!?!Rowenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792050047349131174noreply@blogger.com0
