Americore? Americore? I’m 57 years old and until about a week ago I did not know what Americore was or that it even existed. But, instead of learning about Americore from someone, or reading about Americore  in some literature or pamphlet somewhere, I met Americore face to face.

This was a very memorable day for me for many reasons. I want to share a few with you. Mary and I had not seen each other in many, many years. I, however, was a topic of conversation at her family’s gathering the week before the race. Her brother, Bob, and I were the […]

I love getting meeting with and talking to as many people in the St Patty’s Race as possible. I love to share in their stories and love the diversity of all those there.  Brian(to my right) and I met a race in the area and now also work together on local races. He’s a great person […]
