As you know I like to give credit to the volunteers that help put on events. They give of themselves and expect nothing in return. I was at a walk for Autism Speaks recently. I got there early on a COOL damp morning and sitting at a table in the middle of a large field […]

I want you to meet Dave (on your left) and “Big” Al. I’ve taught them all they know about building muscles and getting strong. They’ve taught me all I know about running. I think our instructions to each other have payed off. All kidding aside, these are 2 great friends in the gym and outside […]

You are probably wondering why I’m devoting an entry in the blog to porta-potties!!!!! Well, having run 30-40 different races in the last year and a half, I feel I just need to say something. Planning a gathering of people (especially runners) and the number of places available prior to race time to, shall we […]

The pictures you are looking at are part of the story that goes with the race in the next entry. I wanted to have you see why I’m glad I went from running on my own for decades, after I crossed the country, to finding the wonderful world of running that’s been created. Mary and […]
