Lets get started!

Ah, another weekend of fun. First off, on Saturday I helped my friends at Runners Fit time a race, the 5K Run for a Reason. This is put on by a local church, and benefits go to a home for unwed mothers in Lima, Peru. A worthy cause, and a fun Saturday morning run/walk. While [...]

Long awaited group session

Saturday brought our merry band of runners together for an evening of camraderie and sweat. Most of us started the morning with our usual group run, a casual 5 to 8 miles followed by the breakfast of soon-to-be champions.

Group run in the wood

This morning the Runners Fit group headed off to Elachee/Chicopee Woods for a group run in the woods. 13 of us braved the cold (31 degrees) for this grand adventure. After the caravan over there, I headed in one direction with my camera while everyone else ran the other way. (I know there is a [...]
