Ever felt like you were drawn to go somewhere for no explainable reason. For me North Attleboro on August 19th was one of those places. As I was looking online at races I might want attend, something kept drawing me to Julia’s Garden.  As a person that has followed many gut feelings, I decided to go. Most races form to raise monies […]

Here are some pictures of runners and volunteers at the Butterfly 5k. Kerilynn, and Liam were there to enjoy the park and cheer on Luke. With the park so family oriented, a day at a race is also a day for the WHOLE family to enjoy. When I first arrived at the park I wanted to ask questions […]

I love to go to races that are being held in places I’ve never been. When I talk to friends, about a race I’m thinking of running on the weekend, they many times ask, “Where is ____ and why are you going THERE???” My reply is most often that #1. I’ve never been there #2. That means there will be people […]

I love to give volunteers their “props”. I put on road races and can tell you that without volunteers they probably would not exist. Cindy volunteers enough to have met me at other races and has appeared more than once in my blog section. Michelle and Beth were on bikes and at vital turns on the course making […]
