Join us Thursday, 4/5/12 • 7-11 PM Team Wicked Nation for the Run to Home Base Fundraiser with the Adam Ezra Group & Special Guests! Thursday 4/5/12 from 7 - 11 PM at the historic Nathaniel Silsbee House, 94 Washington Square East. Come enjoy a night of great live music, food, silent auctions and raffles all to support Team Wicked Nation as they raise funds for the Run to Home Base! The Run to Home Base supports the amazing Red Sox Foundation/Mass General Hospital’s Home Base Program which helps vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan that have posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and their families.

The Monday Group Run is Back! Thanks to Susan Keezer

EAT FOR A GREAT CAUSE ON MONDAY, APRIL 9 Come anytime, lunch or dinner! Dawn Cobak is holding a fundraiser for her Boston Marathon run to benefit For Jake’s Sake. Buffalo Wild Wings in Danvers at the Liberty Tree Mall is donating 20% of all food sales - ALL DAY - to FJS. You must present the FJS flyer — which will be e-mailed to everyone — to the waitress for us to receive credit. No raffles, no tickets to buy, just eat! Email Dawn for a flyer or more info: dmcobak@gmail.com

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.

Where in the World is Wicked? Sarasota, FL

Earning Dolphin Bling in Florida: I joined the Wicked Running Club in December because I wanted to stay on track with my running plan to successfully finish my first half marathon and to be able to meet like-minded folks so I’m not always alone at races. Although I’ve only done 2-3 group runs on Saturdays (I’m a cold weather hating person), I was able to stick to my running program and successfully finished my first half: the Sarasota First Watch Half-Marathon, March 11, 2012 in FL. My initial goal was to finish. My hopeful goal was to finish in under 3 hours. As I trained, I had a hopeful goal of sub 2:45. I am happy to say, I finished in 2:38:34! 3,000 runners, great route support, pacers, very well-planned and executed. Having run the Black Cat 10-miler one week prior gave me the confidence to get to 13.1 miles. I can’t wait to meet more Wicked Runners! —Lisa Driscoll

Upcoming Event: Doyle’s Emerald Necklace Five Miler Field Trip Join a crew from the Wicked Running Club as we head over the Tobin and through the woods to Franklin Park and Doyle’s Cafe for the 16th Annual Doyle’s Emerald Necklace 5 Miler. As of now there is not an online application format...just mail in...and available here: http:...//www.srr.org/events/annual_events/grandprix/docs/doyles_app_2012.pdf. This race does sell out every year, so if you are interested, you should sign up sooner rather than later. Just like last year, the club has been invited to set up a tent in the postrace party so we’ll have our own designated area to leave bags and hang out post race. We were able to share lots of local race information with the huge crowds last year and look forward to doing in again. If there are any questions, please be in touch with Julie Arrison: juliearrison@gmail.com. These are the kind of shenanigans that went on at last year’s field trip to Doyle’s. Yeah, you better come this year!
