Anyone in the Amesbury/Salisbury/Newburyport area want to carpool to the Kennebunk 5 miler this Sunday (5/4-8:30 start time)? I guess it would also work out to meet up with folks along the way, going north on 95. Shoot me an e-mail at work if you are interested: michael.ruccio@noaa.gov.

Dale, best to run and not 'train'. Take it easy for a month or so-at least-if you want to be fully recovered
Boston can cause much muscle damage and/or tightness that may take a long time to go away.

Dale,
Just listen to your body...we're all different!! Myself? I've never been able to run a lick for a week after Boston...& even when I thought I was ready...the soreness came back after a few miles. You'll see others running the next day...and get this....some really crazy people have been seen running 5k races within the week. The way I see it...they didn't give their all at Boston...LOL.
Kudos to all of you...perhaps someday I'll attempt to run again...well, maybe...
Take care...

Just a survey. How long do you rest after a marathon? We ran 4.5 miles on Saturday at a very slow pace. Also thanks to the Vicki, Linda and Tom. The bus and room were great.

next time you're at the cicle thank Jeff for coming at 6 AM to open it up monday.

Thanks Vicki and Tom. Also thanks to Tommy R and Linda. I think you can see Matt's picture at the start on the front page of Tuesdays Boston Globe all the way to the right. The bus driver says he had an idea who broke the toilet.

Look at the effect that McCormick and Gurzak have on innocent marathon bystanders!

I second what Chip posted in regards to the bus/hotel organizing. Many thanks to Vicki for her hard work (and anyone else involved that I may not know about). The experience was a great one. But 'fess up - who broke the bus toilet?

I just wanted express my thanks to the Circle for a race number and the chance to run Boston this year with all of my WCRC running friends! Between the bus and the hotel room, the whole experience was top-notch. What else would you expect from the Circle?

The new track is at the new EHS on Epping Road in Exeter - I coach middle school track there. It is very busy this time of year. Highschool is on it every afternoon from 2:30-4:30, middle school 3-4 times a week from 4:30-6:00, plus 2-3 days a week is special olympics. We also host a good deal of the 6th, 7th, 8th & Highschool meets, which generally run until 7:00-7:30pm. I run there several days a week and there is only about 3/4 miles actual XC trails, the rest of the XC course is run in the parking lot, around the ball fields and a small retention pond - it is not even certified XC distance. And you are right, after last years EEE threat, NOBODY was allowed in the trails and they are now a mess. Actually went in part way today and there is still a good deal of standing water (it is very wet even in the summer months)on about 50% of the trail. The track at PEA in Exeter (off Court Street) has loads of XC trails around it and they are kept very well maintained. Hope that helps :) Give me a call if you have questions. Lisa

Does anyone have info on the New Exeter Track? (Use, Contacts)I understand there are some xcountry trails but in bad shape.

There is a nice article of Dale in the Daily News:

we can still run on track just different speeds and different terminology-but same effort. Good that you're healthy going into the golden age-job lookin good now!! See you in April.

Nice article Chris. Good Reason some of us changed our lifestyles.

Thanks Mike...believe it or not, may try to do some track workouts this spring (probably be injured after the first lap!). MORE IMPORTANTLY, 53 more school days until RETIREMENT! Hope all is well with you and yours...

Bruce

Plan is track workouts Wednesdays begin 4/30, 6p.m. Newburyport's Fuller Track. Waiting for confirmation to use track-but has been no problem in past.
Look for more details on web site soon.

Are there any plans to have track workouts this upcoming season?

To all Full Moon Four Milers - Friday night I will be at the finish line around 6 to shuttle any runners who wish to leave their cars at the finish line to the start. Race starts at 6:30 at Stacey Jane's

Mike its a 6:30 start time

This was our first race as a "expansion team" running against the established USATF clubs in the grand prix. Thanks to all for putting in the time committment and a big race effort. We hope to attract more WCRC seniors to join us for the next usatfne event May 11th in Nashua Nh. It is 6km. and is a score 5 event. We are hoping to bring a team of at least 6 seniors to compete. We think with the shorter distance, our overall club depth should favor us more. If interested please reply here, or email

If anyone is doing the Mar. 16th Run to the Beach 30K, I'd be interested in either being a carpool driver to N.Andover or getting a ride.
This would be for Nbpt area runners though - meet at The Circle around 8 am then head east to the start.

Come join us for a training run on the Great Bay Half Marathon Course this Sunday March 9th. Meet at the Newmarket High School and be ready to run at 8:00am - REMEMBER TO SPRING YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD THIS WEEKEND!
Distances: 10 Miles, 13 Miles & some adding on. All Pace levels welcome. This is not a supported run, but there will be plenty of good company - our last training run had 45 runners all starting out together.

I am working with Mike putting together a group of official pace runners for the Great Bay Half Marathon on April 6th. Please let me know if you are interested in being an official pace runner (you will be provided a number/chip, race shirt, LOCO pacer hat & laminated pace time bib to pin on your back)- This is a great option for those Boston training that want the distance that day but may not want the pressure to run hard and fast.

"Once a Runner, worth $300 at Porters Book store in Portland OR.ANYONE WANT TO BUY MINE?

Thanks Mike. I found a copy. I'll be in Texas saturday night getting ready to run a marathon

Mike Fiene you can borrow "Once a Runner" from the Newburyport High school library. If you are interested in the recently published sequel you can borrow it from me. Let me know and I'll bring it Saturday night.

Does anyone have a copy of "once a Runner" I would like to rent or borrow. I tried to buy one and there is a cult thing going on. They are $100+ on ebay or Amazon. I gave mine away a few years ago. forgot who I gave it to.

I am sure that many of you who ran yesterday's Half at Hampton have already heard the tragic news about Bill Paradis, but here is part of the article from the Fosters this morning:

HAMPTON — Longtime, long-distance runner Bill Paradis died of an apparent heart attack on Sunday while running the half marathon, Half at the Hamptons.
Paradis collapsed at about mile 6 of the course and was taken to Exeter Hospital, but could not be revived, according to family and friends.
Paradis, 55, was a member of the Rochester Runners Club and was renowned for his encouragement, generosity and sense of humor.
He and his wife, Kathy, have worked for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for over 20 years.
Paradis' fellow runners from the Rochester Runners Club were shocked to hear the news of his death on Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday evening, club member Mary Ulinski said she had hoped that Paradis was not the man she saw lying on the ground at mile 6 of the half marathon. She said he was surrounded by EMTs, so she did not know it was Paradis until she finished the race.
Ulinksi said that a fellow runner asked her, "I wonder what that is all about?" as they passed Paradis, and she responded, "It doesn't look good."
When she reached the finish line, she was devastated to learn that the man was indeed her friend.
According to his fellow club members, Paradis had been running Sunday's race with his friend, Diane Levesque, and was complaining that he couldn't catch his breath. Not long after, Paradis collapsed on the course.
He joined the Rochester Runners club later in life, but once he started, he ran multiple marathons every year.
"He told me he was always training for a marathon," said a family friend and running partner, Janet Glazer, of Dover.
Paradis flew all over the country for various marathons, Glazer said.
"It was his goal to do a marathon in every state," she added.

Staff Writer Amanda Dumond contributed to this story.

Chris you can relay to that group that the Baltimore marathon is a bad choice

Hi everyone,

Would someone like to help out this group? Let me know. I responded to her already.

Interesting article about performance and aging:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/health/n...tner=rssnyt&emc=rss

Congrats to Chris Kealey for running a great time in the Master's Mile race at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games track meet this past weekend. Chris ran a 4:35.79 mile for 6th place, a 5 second improvement over his time at the GBTC meet at Harvard's indoor track a week earlier. Wished I had seen his Reebok performance! For race results go to: http://www.bostonindoorgames.com/2008/events/MastersMile.htm

For those that might be interested next year, you can participate in any of the non-invitational events at the GBTC meet and run in time seeded heats against high school, collegiate and wannabee track star runners. I recall the entry fee was only $15 per event.

Did anyone see "spirit of the marathon" last night ? I know it is coming back to theaters Feb 21 for a second showing. I was a little last minute and it was pretty much sold out as it wasn't at a lot of cinemas last night.
Just wondering what you might have thought about it.

Myles,
You're right, Hood to Coast needs upwards of a year planning. Good time to think about 2009.

Do I see that Webber is living in Maine??
Governor Dummer---did it change it's name??

Happy Anniversary WCRC!

Eddie, The Hood to Coast relay idea looks like it would only work if there were a few Circle members wanting to be part of a larger preexisting team w/ vacancies (since the relay is already "full"). I'll look at the Hood to Coast bulletin board and see what openings exist & see what's feasible right now.

It looks like we will have a WCRC men's senior team to compete in this years USATF-NE grand prix series. New Bedford 13.1 will be our 1st team race on March 16th. So far we have David Kelly, Dennis Donoghue, Don Hennigar and myself. Anyone else up for a road trip is more than welcome to join us. We will have room for one more in our vehicle and if there are others interested we can work on a second . The second race in the series will be in Nashua Nh. 6km. on May 11th. J.Webber 207-324-7390 617-590- 9070 jweb1041@psouth.net

I ran at Governor Dummer (being a local I refuse to call it anything else)this past Tuesday. What a great option to get some speed work in. A little hard on the body on the corners doing 200 repeats but generally speaking a great local place for a workout...and the forecast for this Tuesday is in the teens! Thanks to Mike M and Maureen Carroll for helping facilitate this. Hopefully we can make it an annual tradition.

Hey JW; Keep me in the loop for the group runs in the Great North - Will travel for good running company :)
Would be super if the Northern WCRC contingency could join us this weekend and then we can head your way after Derry. L

Hi, Lisa, We have had a long run[2hrs10min yesterday] group on weekends for about a month now up here in the great white north, Sanford/Springvale . Maybe we could get together with your NH. group this weekend or after Derry? JW

Hood to Coast:

I saw a post here about Hood to Coast. I'm in Beaverton Oregon these days and would be happy to help coordinate when the Circle decides to get involved.

Also, It has been great being in touch with a few of you recently!
Go Pats!

We are pulling together a training run for Sunday 1/20 to run the Great Bay Half course - with many people training for Boston planning to add on. The plan is to meet at the Newmarket High School Sunday morning and be ready to run at 8:00am. You will need to pack a fuel belt if you need one, this will not be a supported run, but there will be lots of good company for all pace levels.
 
Hope to see you Sunday :)

I forgot to mention the other night at the general meeting that it was only through Mike Menesale's years of trying to get Puma involved with the High Street Mile that we were able to get Puma committed to sponsorship. Mike has been shoe tester for Puma for years and he was able to get Puma interested in the race. Thanks Mike!

Hey! What time for for Annual/30th meeting - 6:30? sounds like fun!

We are trying to get addresses of 'old' WCRC members for the anniversary party on Feb. 16th. Please forward addresses of anyone who you feel should be invited.

Great job by the Circle yesterday! My time was right on the money from what I had on my watch.

Shout out to all the volunteers who braved the elements once again to ensure a safe and enjoyable(?) run!

Was that a record number of runners @ the Hangover? 897. Looking at the results since 2000 it appears so.

Congrats to Bob Manning and all the rest of the volunteers for making this successful. Thanks for taking the time out on New Years Day to help out.

Very "cool" ocean dip glass too.

A great day for a race, a little chilly but lots of smiling people (check out Ted Tyler's pictures). I'm grateful to all the club members who knew exactly what to do, even if I did not:

Carol (the woman knows all), Vicki (make that 2 women), Tom (you did everything), Mike F (thanks for not killing me), Derek and Mike M (for not killing anyone with Strouty Towers), Bob R (for knowing everyone), Maryann (POST Reg Queen), Paul (lug those boxes), Kate (got anymore t-shirts?) Timmy and Curt (got anymore beer?), Deb and Jimmy (chicken soup was good), Chip (1 mile man) Adam and Dave C (cold day for the water stop), Gary and John W (timing guru guys) Byron (hope you got your voice back), Dave L (you never seem to lose yours), Pam (reg and timing), Sharon and Dave (for my many stupid questions). I know I'm forgetting a bunch of people, but Santa was there and he knows that you were good. Thanks for everything!! Kristen

If anybody lost a nice pair of black GORE-TEX gloves near the finish line of today's Toys for Tots run at the Sweetsir school in Merrimac, I have them and will bring them to the mtg. on Thursday.

Track Update.
The club Board of Directors voted to pay the fee for the track upfront and to charge participants just $20 for the 6-8 week session. Thank them.
Now we are working on securing the Governor's Academy track for tuesday evenings beginning in Jan.
The 'official time; for us is 8:30-9:30, but we probably will be able to get in much earlier-at least to stretch and do a light warm-up as the session before is local H.S. teams who we know and support quite a bit.
The track is just short of 200meters, 3 pretty narrow lanes, and plenty of room in 'infield'.
This is a great opportunity to get together with other members and turn the legs over a bit while getting out of the cold and ice.

Nice story in Newburyport Daily News about the Turkey Trot

Can't quite remember the year I wore "skies" ;>) That first hill must have been tough!

Nice article in the Newburyport Current about the Turkey Trot (thanks to Mike Menesale's daughter Sarah who is the editor there)

http://www.wickedlocal.com/newburyport/homepage/x676142000

The Newburyport Daily News will be publishing a pre-race story on Wednesday this week.

Chris

You can always come on Monday nites to Red Hook. Its flat like a track, the weather and the beer always makes it one of my fastest runs of the week. And yes we still run if its -20 with 2 feet of snow.

Glad you realize the huge benefits of snowshoe running

I think the thought was that in the summer at 70 degrees you can comfortably run anywhere you want, including informally on some school's outdoor track for free, providing stiff competition for a paid summer track program. However, in the winter when its -30 with 2 feet of snow outdoor tracks seem less hospitable (except in snow shoes).

Tom


< replied-to message removed by QT >

Just an observation but if outdoor track turnout is poor............why would paying more to run on a smaller track be that appealing?

Is there any interest in acquiring some winter track time @ Governor Dummer? We were thinking Jan - Feb, 8 weeks. Probably Monday or Tuesday night, unsure of time but probably 7PM or later. The higher the number the lower per person cost.

Let me know.

Chris

I suspect the turnout will be light, given the forecast for hard rain and high wind.

Tom

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Are people going to run on Thursday even if it is raining.

Best think toward 2009. 2008 is already full. You needed to get the app. in on October 17. From their site: Registration for 2008 opened October 17, 2007. ONLY Hood To Coast entries postmarked or originating (if using express mail) on October 17th were considered.

Mt. Hood to Pacific Relay!!
An encounter with an Oregon runner on a recent biz trip alerted me to what is described as the 'World's biggest relay race' and the 'Mother of all relays' etc. It certainly looks like one hell of a unique adventure. If we can put together a Winners Circle team in the next few months before the event fills up, it would be an interesting alternative to a marathon trip (a la Big Sur or Medoc) - the date is Aug. 22, 2008.
Here's the link:
http://www.hoodtocoast.com/index.php
Has anyone in the club done this event already?

Your stories/pictures from past Thanksgiving Day Maudslay XC race.

Hi everyone,

I want to get the Newburyport News & maybe another Southern New Hampshire paper to do a nice profile of the Turkey Trot. There were almost 900 runners in this race last year and yet all you heard about in the local papers was T-day football!

This race has a rich history with many personal stories. Teddy Jones running 17 years in row. Lou Ristanio taking a wrong turn. The snow & ice, the bitter cold, the recent balmy weather. John Wile has made this race one of the best races in eastern Mass and should be recognized for his efforts.

If you have stories, quotes, pictures, please send them to me: chris.kealey@thermofisher.com or post them here.

Thanks
Chris

There should be a few runners at Exeter this Sunday. We will be doing about 10-11 miles at a slow pace. around 9-9:10 pace

Hi Kathy; Our group did kind of fall apart over the summer months, but many of us are looking to resume the Sunday 8:00am runs from Synergy and also are just starting to get back in the routine of the Tuesday night runs from Synergy at 4:45pm. What kind of distance & pace do you run?

Hi everyone,

I finally received a whole slew of pics from the High Street Mile. Kathy O'Neil, good friend of Kristen Broderick, took these great pictures.

Anybody running out of Synergy in Exeter? Training for the Seacoast 1/2, but can only run w/group on Tu,Fri,Sat,or Sun. thanks.

Mike didn't get a chance to talk but there is a group run at Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth NH on Mondays at 6 PM Hope to see you at some club events

Mike, didn't have to much of an opportunity to talk, as I was trying to hog the microphone, but I, Dave LaBrode, am in charge of the uniforms. If you are interested I am usually at the Circle for the Thursday runs at 5 PM and will be at the Trick or Treat Race. All the appreal is kept at the Circle.

Good to see you and enjoy the Club!

It was nice to meet several folks last night at the meeting. Thanks for making a new member feel welcome (I was the fairly tall, obvious Clydesdale for life who recently moved from Alaska for those that I didn’t get to chat with).

I’m terrible with names, so feel free to chastise me for forgetting all of yours when we meet again. I’ll see you around at WCRC events, meetings, and out on the road.
-Mike

Tonight is the last Saunder's Run in Rye NH for the season. Next Monday (10/15) we will meet at the Redhook Brewery Portsmouth NH in the Pease Tradeport at 6:00 PM for the fall and winter months

We're a no frills team consisting of a mix of all ages.
Thanks.

Hi Lisa - Have you put a post on the RTB website yet? There is usually a pretty good success rate finding runners on the race forum. Good Luck!

Hi. My name is Lisa. My sister and I are organizing an ultra team for Reach the Beach. Its a 200 mile relay in NH (www.rtbrelay.com). Sorry for the short notice, but the event takes place 9/14-15... We had our full team, but last week 2 runners dropped out. We need one male and one female to complete our team. Interested in joining the team?
 
There are 36 legs, but we are going to combine 3 of the legs to make the transitioning of the vehicles easier, as well as the distance taking less of a toll on our bodies. We have lodging for the night before, as well as the vehicles for transporting throughout the race. Below is a breakdown of the legs:
 
Runner 1 - Legs 1-3 = 23.7 miles; Legs 19-21 = 18.8 miles; total = 42.5 miles
Runner 2 - Legs 4-6 = 15.4 miles; Legs 22-24 = 18.5 miles; total = 33.9 miles
Runner 3 - Legs 7-9 = 15 miles; Legs 25-27 = 22 miles; total = 37 miles
Runner 4 - Legs 10-12 = 14.4 miles; Legs 28-30 = 14.9 miles; total = 29.3 miles
Runner 5 - Legs 13-15 = 19.7 miles; Legs 31-33 = 15.7 miles; total = 35.4 miles
Runner 6 - Legs 16-18 = 18.7 miles; Legs 34-36 = 16 miles; total = 34.5 miles
 
Please email me (track_all_star@yahoo.com) if you or anyone you know are interested in joining our team.
 
Thanks,
Lisa

hey Jack if you had said all that it would have made it a lot more clear. you can ask anyone in the club that i'm not that sensitive personaly. You would have been better understood if you relayed the information that it was an ongoing problem and not said it might be a runner. And any runner knows to look around for people who are sitting in vehicles or driving around parking lots. Please let us NH runners know if you'll be at the next meeting. One last note tonight I did not see a green pick up with white lettering on it when i ran in Maudsley. I will also look for it Thursday when I run there also.

Maybe this infor would have been nicer than eluding to this being a WCRC member and runner. I think we all appreciate the heads up, but not the finger pointing. "QUOTE FROM JACK - Who knows it could be a runner or even someone in the club so if anyone knows anyone who goes to Maudslay and has a green pick-up track, let me or the police know."

I know all to well the feelings of being robbed, having been through my door being kicked in by a herion addict and many of my families and children's things stolen and pawned for drugs. Fortunately the guy watched and waited until I left the house with my children before breaking in and he was eventually caught.

Have a nice day :)

Thanks Mick. I am sure that if Lisa and TimmyP were the ones robbed they would have a completely different attitude and would want to see the perp caught. Also, if they were wise they would be able to figure out that if they use Maudslay and leave their purse and wallet in their vehicle when they go for a run, this perp is going to be sitting in the parking lot and watching them run off into the woods and they could be the next one robbed. The police said guys like this keep doing the same thing over and over again until they are caught. So Lisa and TimmyP, you could be next, but that doesn't concern you, your "personal sensitivity" is more important.

I have more information. I forgot to point out that the green pick-up truck has contractor's writing on the door but my wife didn't remember what it said. The park rangers are also investigating and they have seen a suspicious green pick-up truck frequently the past few weeks driving slowly past the parking lot and scanning the lot.

Again, I ask anyone who wants to see this guy caught and wants to run in the park without fear of being robbed and is not concerned about their own personal sensitivites, please get the plate number and call the police

thanks for the heads up, Jack. I appreciate the alert and will pay more attention there. I'm glad your wife is safe.

Not knowing who Jack is I suspect he will make the next club meeting with the NPD to question all the NH runners who drive pickup trucks AND who live in the Stratham area AND who like to run in Maudsley to see if we are the culprits. Will you be there Jack?

Jack, I find your post very offensive. Apparently you don't have much regard for your fellow club members.
I am white, run, belong to the club, live in Stratham and own a green pickup and guess what, I shop at Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Staples.
I am guessing I'm not the only one that finds your post a bit distasteful and presumptuous.

Robbery at Maudslay. Just to give everyone a head's up. My wife's car was broken into and her credit cards stolen on Sunday Morning 8/26 when she was running. The perp may have been a white male in a green pick-up truck. The perp may live in the Stratham NH area as he ran up 2500 in charges at Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Staples. A police report was filed with NBPT PD and the credit card companies are investigating.

If anyone runs there be on the lookout for suspicious activity or if you see a green pick-up truck there.

Who knows it could be a runner or even someone in the club so if anyone knows anyone who goes to Maudslay and has a green pick-up track, let me or the police know.

I didn't stick around for the awards after Saunders 10K race Thursday night. How did the WCRC teams do?

Monday nite at the Saunders run there's going to be a warm up for the race Thursday on the course

Christmas in August? Not really, but WCRC treasurer Rob Robertson recently found some checks to WCRC that were never deposited, written by WCRC members to pay for dinner at the WCRC Christmas Party at Saunders last December. He intends to deposit them next week, so if you wrote a check to WCRC for the party that was never cashed … it probably will be soon. If you think this may cause you some problem, please contact Rob ASAP at robrobertsoniii@comcast.net For those of you who don't get Tom's emails consider yourselves warned!

High Street Mile.

Thank you everyone for helping out with "the Mile". 3 new age group records:

Female 13-15
Alanna Poretta 15 5:20 2007

Male 30-39
Stanley Kipchumba 35 4:16 2007

Female 40-49
Zofia Wieciorkowska 44 5:05 2007

284 runners ran.

I believe this was the biggest HSM ever. It is only through the efforts of the entire club coming together that this race can run as smoothly as it does. And I get the added benefit of actually still being able to run it! Below is the list of members and others that made this happen ( I am sure I missed someone). Thank you all for taking a Sunday morning to put it all together.

If anyone is ever in need of a local t-shirt vendor for races I used Screen Gems in Seabrook. They did a great job on this year's High Street Mile t-shirt.

Contact is Andy Skaff (603)474-5353

Great article on Strouty in the Eagle-Tribune. 2000 races sometime in Sept!!!

What do you think of that!!

A huge THANK YOU to Mike Fiene and to everyone for all the help at this years Stratham Fair Road Race & special congratulations to Bob Aucoin. It is always great fun to see the WCRC colors and so many runners from both clubs. I am tallying this years CAA vs WCRC scoring this morning and will post the winning club today. Thank you again for braving the hot humid temps and making the 34th annual Stratham Fair Race a success.

Just a reminder that the boat cruise is next Friday, 8/3 at 7:00. There's still space available if you'd like to go, 37 members and guests are signed up now. Call 603-642-5584.

Also, come cheer on the WCRC team running in the Yankee Homecoming Bed Race on Thursday, 8/2. Who knows who you might see. Maybe a sighting of Britney, Paris, or Lindsey? :)

I would like to some up a more prominent finish line this year for the High Street Mile. Does anyone in the club have access to staging equipment?

Also, I will need volunteers to set it up @ 9:30 AM and take down @ 11 AM on Sunday August 5th

Please call me @ 978 270 6854

Regards
Chris

I've tried moving those by hand before and they're heavy.

hey tim maybe we could do some late night barrier removal

If only the concrete barriers could be moved on that trail

Thanks to all who worked and ran the Run For The Gym 5K,in Springvale Me. 19 MEMBERS PLACED IN THERE AGE DIVISIONS.

I'll be @ Lake Gardner this Tuesday (7/10) for a 5:30 swim. Was in the Lake Friday and the water was great.

Terrific course(was that a Gary Passler signature course?), let's try to maintain that somehow when crafting a 5K version.

Thanks to all the volunteers and Mike Fiene for resurrecting the Poletta tradition.

Thanks to all the volunteers. Carol super job on post entries, thanks Cathy for all computer stuff, Brett for putting up with all the bugs, Gary, Don, John W and John G, Kate and Tyler at the finish line. Timmy, Curt, Brian, Pam and Bob R for set up. Adam, Ken, Myles, Curt, and Sue for working the cul de sac. And thanks new member Joe C for the first mile split. Also thanks to Wendy Kaplan and Randy's daughter directing the runners around Vaughn's. And thanks to Bob M for timing and getting the results onto Cool Running. Also great job co-director Kristen
