Race Report: Another one from Baystate (Read 881 times)

A very motivating report! And that photo is the best - you are totally putting everything into it! It would be a great conversational piece for the office!! A very nice job.

Congrats Erica! That's an impressive time, and it sounds like you had a great race. I would ask this over private message, but I guess we don't have them here. The picture in your profile looks like it's on College Ave at a certain Boston-area university. Are you doing the marathon training with them? I'm a grad student there and am planning to run Boston for charity with them this April. Just curious if we might run into one another at one of the training runs.

It is, in fact, the marathon team at that university (I am also a grad student). I ran on and off with the team last year when I was training for Austin, but have been doing more of my runs by myself (or with friends) this year - I like to start a lot earlier in the morning then they start rolling. I will probably show up again someday (probably this winter, when it's hard to get out as early), so we may, indeed, meet. You running the Jingle Bell Run in Davis?

You like to start earlier? Wow. It's a struggle for me to make the 8 am start times on Sunday mornings, but I do usually run with them on those days. It's nice to have company on those longer runs. I hadn't thought far enough ahead to sign up for the Jingle Bell Run yet. I am running the Gobble Gobble Gobble on Thanksgiving Day. We ran it last year too, and despite the big crowd, it was a fun race. Plus I really like the long-sleeve t-shirts they give out.

I have to admit though, I am jealous of your pic with BadDawg. I think I have a man-crush on Ed.

I'm flattered.
