by altardy on September 28, 2009

I ran the CVSCaremark5k in Providence, R.I. a couple weekends ago. Over 8000 runners were there on what turned into a beautiful day to race. One of the first people I met on my way to register was Michael. He looked like someone I had met at another race and that’s how we started our […]

As you know I like to give credit to the volunteers that help put on events. They give of themselves and expect nothing in return. I was at a walk for Autism Speaks recently. I got there early on a COOL damp morning and sitting at a table in the middle of a large field […]

August 5th was the 31st anniversary of the my finish of first run from coast to coast. Some people that read the entries leading up to the 5th have asked what I did on that day to celebrate. I started the day by going to court. I was bringing the first person that was supposed […]

Memories Of A Race To Remember
