QUOTES OF THE MONTH “In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.” -Sid Caesar “The most important day in any running program is rest. Rest days give your muscles time to recover so you can run again. Your muscles build in strength as you rest.” –Hal Higdon
WICKED KUDOS TR Ramsdell continues to “Chase the Mouse” (as did Miles Fartlek, photo right) and ended up with a PR at the Disneyland Half Marathon in CA on September 5. TR’s Facebook post: “A little bit slower than I'd hoped for, but I PR'd my 1/2 in Disneyland, 1:34:57. They even said my name when I ran through Angel stadium. How cool is that?” Pretty cool! Tim & Nicole Short are 99.99% sure they will be welcoming a baby GIRL next February. Sounds like a valentine birthday to me, which is warning to all future boyfriends they better do it up big time! Wicked left their mark at the Run the Goose 7K in Gloucester on Labor Day. In photo left, Annie Rose Willis, battling a knee injury, still captured 1st place overall female, and Dave Long ran another strong race, finishing just 10 seconds behind the 1st place male to capture 3rd overall. John Gillis captured 1st place 40-49, and Elaine Ambrozaitis placed first in 20-29. Same place, same day, the Cape Ann 25k took place, famous for its 16 hills slogan. Wicked Fast John Ayers (right) finished 11 overall, and 2nd in his 40-49 age group. Perhaps Robert Guay summed up this race best, when he called it a “a hilly MF”, while he still pulled off a PR. Congrats to Wicked competitors in both races! For a complete list of finishers, check out coolrunning.com.
