Thing is Dan had never […]

Amongst the people that I was with at the Litchfield race were… Eric, whom I met at a race in Worcester last holloween. Him and I have met many times since, both at multiple races and around the town we both live in. But, without the great world of running we would have missed getting to know each other and […]

Along with getting to visit with my daughter in Maine, I went that far north to run a race. The 24th Kennebunk Beach Classic was the one I had picked to go to and it truly was the correct choice.  Race headquarters was at the senior and the center is the beneficiary of the funds raised.   […]

May 23rd I made my way to the…  Hyland Orchard and Rapscallion Brewery in Fiskdale Village of Sturbridge. I went there partially because of the lure of….. beer I had never tasted at a place I’d never been. BUT what a great time the entire experience and day turned out to be. Check out the entries […]

Chris is one of the family members that owns The Hyland Orchard And Rapscallion Brewery. Just a great guy and super host to the event. He shared with me some of the history of the farm, the land and the business. As a small business owner myself, doing well takes alot of hard work and dedication to […]

As I pull up to a place I’d never been to before, for a race I’d never run before the first person I see (and just happen to be parked next to) is Diana. We met 4 years ago at the Holyoke St. Patty’s Day race. I put our photo on my site back then and so […]
