The Monday Group Run is Back! Thanks to Susan Keezer Every Monday 6:30PM 11 Glover Street in Salem This is a very low-key fun run that can be anywhere from 1.5 miles on up. As always, the slowest runner will set the pace! If you’re new to running, recovering from something, or would just like to run at an easy pace with some nice people, please come to this run! Directions: Take Lafayette Street to Leach Street, follow Leach almost to the end and take a HARD right onto Glover Street. Susan’s place is the last house on the left. She has two to four parking spaces (depending on whether or not the neighbors have guests), but street parking is also fine on the left side of the street, no sticker needed. If you need more information, please email Susan at mondaynightrun@wickedrunningclub.com.

“ To all of the Wicked runners willing to even show up at the start of the Boston Marathon--you’re amazing. To say it was a hot day or dangerous day is an understatement and your courage on the course, no matter the distance completed, is commendable.” —Julie Arrison

Where in the World is Wicked? Masses in Mass: Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, Boston, Topsfield

Around the Pond: Rich “Hammer” Tabbut and John Ayers represent Wicked at 2.5 & 5 mile races at Fresh Pond Races in Cambridge.

Down at Doyle’s: Val Mathews and Leeanne “Devil Eyes” Nagle having some fun at the Doyle’s 5 miler. A nice Wicked contingent invaded JP.

Hitting the Dirt: Amber Woolfenden, Michele Campbell, and Mary Bruno (l to r) at Bradley Palmer State Park, Topsfield for some trail running.

Wicked BAA 5K: Several Wickeds ran the BAA 5K - the day before the Boston Marathon. TOP LEFT: Mariko Weston, Robin Lermond and Joanne Malilay; BOTTOM LEFT: Robin heads to the finish; RIGHT: Brant Henne (in Wicked red) sprints to the finish line (the same finish line as the actual Marathon!)

From John Mahoney: As the volunteer coordinator, I give a special thanks to all gel stop volunteers. You were all great. I want everyone to know that the PowerBar Event Manager pulled me aside after the race to say we did an “exceptional” job this year. All of Wicked should be very proud of the contribution we made to this great race.
