Kevin and Kelley combined efforts with The Banner Bar & Grille owner, Sean, to put on one of the most fun races I’ve ever participated in.  Now, I’ve run in over 100 races in the last 3-4 years, so that means something coming from me. The run happens twice each year and raises money for […]

I knew I was in Worcester at a sports pub with great people when I first walked into The Banner Bar & Grille.  I had just arrived to register for the May 21st Worcester Pub Run when Matt and Jen greeted me like we were old friends.  Matt is also a well accomplished runner, but, he just came to cheer […]

You can’t lose when you spend a day with great people like these. Grayson, Ruth(34) and Jessica came dressed as caped crusaders. Ruth used the outfit to help her fly into the #1 women’s position in the whole race.  Why did they wear the costumes to a pub run?  Now, if you were wondering why, it […]

I could have taken pictures all day and you would see that we all were having a wonderful time.  This is the spirit I love about the road races.  People coming from all over, most of whom never met before, enjoying each other’s company, sharing stories and a day in all our lives. Scott, myself […]

Great People–Great Atmosphere–Oh Yeah

by altardy on May 15, 2011

This is the atmosphere I thrived in back in high school and college.  Some day I’ll explain my transition to long distance running. The feel of the track.  The “scoping out” of the competition.  Starting guns and comorodery of a track team. The individual performance and the team tightness is what I miss being an ultra distance […]

It’s The Great Sense Of Competing

by altardy on May 15, 2011

To some of you these pictures are just some pictures of a track meet— and that’s ok.  To these kids, who knows where it might lead them.  To me it was a great trip back to my roots.  “Thanks” to all that were there, even if  we didn’t meet.  Those of you who have not taken in a track […]

Our Flag And Those Who Serve It

by altardy on May 10, 2011

May 7th was the 1st annual Holyoke Police Foot Pursuit 3.5 Mile Race in Holyoke, Ma.  It was a great race and a great day.  May of the people who serve our country were there and I was glad I chose to run this race.  I have 3 entries after this one you should read […]
