The 1st Annual Memorial 5k in Florence, Ma. was meant to be. The day started with thunder storms and heavy rain, but, 30 minutes or so before the start the rain stopped, the clouds cleared out, and the sun came out of hiding. The efforts of the organizers and helpers alike were rewarded with a […]

One of the fun parts of running a race in my home area is meeting alot of friends running the same race. John(125), Lisa(114), Heather(143), Karen(144), and Dick(107) are friends that I see many times during a month just in my daily routines. It’s always fun when our love for running brings us together for […]

—It’s all the people behind the scenes that make an event like this happen. I love to show some of the unsung heros, the volunteers. I met Erin(balloons) and Amanda as I came into the area where the race was taking place. As Erin put it they were headed to tie the balloons onto the “hales of […]
