by altardy on December 21, 2009

by altardy on December 21, 2009

In case you wonder what someone who is training to run across the continent does on his birthday–here’s the scoop. Since my birthday is in December the weather plays a bit of a factor in my running plans on my birthday. I normally run the distance of a marathon just to prove to myself I […]

These are photos from the Holyoke, Ma. Turkey Trot 6 mile race in Holyoke, Ma. a couple weekends ago. One of the things I learned at this race was that there are people you didn’t know, some you didn’t know ran, and some you’re glad didn’t run. Emily and Nicki I was glad didn’t run. […]

New Friends And Who’s Crazy

by altardy on December 17, 2009

Three great days of running are represented in these photos. The reason I’ve singled them out is because it shows meeting and re-meeting friends at the races. Top left is Lee and myself at a 6 miler in Holyoke, Ma. around Thanksgiving and then Lee and myself at a 5 miler at the same Elks […]

These photos are from a 4 miler I ran in Norwood, Ma. 4 weeks ago. Two of the volunteers I noticed were Bob and Tony. Actually it was hard to miss them because they seemed to be everywhere. They were the first people I met when I arrived and needed parking directions and then I […]

Couldn’t Leave Without Her

by altardy on November 24, 2009

I somehow just felt I needed to get a picture with Karen before the Run For All Ages day was over on Nov, 1st. She just seemed to be everywhere I looked. As you can see she took a metal, 2nd place in her age division. But even outside of the award I saw other […]

New–Old Friends

by altardy on November 24, 2009

If you could turn the clock back 2 years, I could look you in the eyes and say “I don’t know anybody in these photos except myself”, and be 100% correct. But now, 2 years later, that would be very incorrect. You have actually seen all 3 of these people in this blog section of […]
