Everything We Needed

by altardy on September 7, 2014

Runners, food, music and glasses of carbs, what a great combination to help create a great day.  Steve, Sara, Bill, Kara and myself posed for this photo— just cause I asked. And turns out they didn’t know each other until I asked them to pose for the picture. Cause that’s the way we are.   John and I met […]

It Pays To Wander

by altardy on September 7, 2014

  Before leaving Worcester on race day I always make my way to some of the gathering places near by.  There are always many of the runners that have run the race that are doing the same thing. Cary and I met at The Banner Bar And Grill.  He, also, is from a good distance away.  We had a great […]

We’ve Recently Met

by altardy on June 29, 2014

About 3 weeks ago I wrote about fire fighters I saw at a race that wore full rescue gear while running the 6k in Worcester.  Upon arriving to the Brockton race they were the first people I met.  What you see here is some of the equipment that they would be putting on a short […]

Our Hearts Go Out

by altardy on June 29, 2014

               John and Dave ran in honor of another fire fighter’s child.  That small child is battling stage 4 cancer.  John brought a tee shirt that most everybody signed.  From there it was delivered to the family to show that we’re all praying for this child’s victory against cancer.    Come next year and support this […]

Check Out The Smiles

by altardy on June 23, 2014

Rebecca and I started talking as we were getting to run.  She pushes her daughter, who gives her mom words of wisdom as they cruise around the courses.  To show how small the world of running can be, I knew of Rebecca and she knew of me.  I am working along with the Mass. Easter Seals to […]

Proud To Be Here
