closing time
gather up your floaties,
it's time to put on long sleeves.
I hope you had a fun time.
I am currently getting the pool ready for its winter slumber. It's sad to see the cover weights come out and to dust the big hole in the ground one last time. I don't think I will get the entire thing done today but Sunday will probably be the last day the pool will see sunshine in months. I figured it was time to close the pool when last weekend I could barely get in even though the outside temperature was 80. the water temp is 62 and last night we hit 42 here in Hudson. I wore gloves and long sleeves on my 8.5 miler this morning so I figure it to be shut down time.
Yesterday was a nice 1:38:57 long run in Lincoln with some BAA boys, some New Balance Boston boys, and some people there just for kicks. Yesterday morning I did a quicker type of 5 mile run in the ARWR 371 to get the turnover going.
Who is New Balance Boston you may ask? It is our re-organized club with new sponsorship and new life. I think one of the worst kept secrets in the running community was our group no longer had a partnership with Reebok and were looking for support. Well, we found a great partner and friend in New Balance, which is based right here in Brighton, MA. The company is owned and run by Newton's own Jim Davis, who is casually the 160th position on the countries wealthiest list. Anyway, from now on we will be sporting the always classic diagnal stripe uniform with the NB crest. You may check out the Ollie 5 miler pictures of Christy Mae and myself if you are looking to see what they look like. Now you can pick us out in a crowd. Of course everyone reading this probably already knows what Christy and I look like, but not in our New Balance racing stripes! I am very excited about this new page in our clubs history and believe it will give us some energy and attitude for the coming racing season. We will be putting some actual content and good stuff on the website soon but we just got the url yesterday and we have yet to put together the proper template.
This morning was a nice easy calm 8.5 miler and I will plan on doing another 6-7 tonight with christy mae when she returns.
that's all I got!
