Everything turned out great— even the weather couldn’t have been better. This race has been our main event for 17 years and every improvement has been possible thanks to all of you. Our Tuesday Fun Runs at Meadowbrook Park have ended for the year, but they have moved to the Armory. Now, every Tuesday you can decide if you want to run with either the outdoor group at 6pm or the indoor group at 6:30pm. I hope to see you every week. Our Fun Runs have seen a great increase in the number of participants thanks to you, who have always brought new friends to join us. It was very nice to see all of you at the Pizza Party. Even though it was a rainy day, that didn’t stop us from having a big group at the fun run and an excellent turn out at the Pizza Party. It was great to exchange stories and see everybody once again. I would like to thank all our volunteers for all our races. The Allerton Trail Race was our last race for this year, and none of these races had been possible without the great support of our volunteers. I really appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm that you bring to our events.

When and why did you start running? A. I ran a little in high school (I’m 45). I started running recreationally a lot in the Army and continued until about 10 years ago when work pushed running aside. A little over a year ago, I started running regularly again so I could be faster and irritate my kids (both of whom run cross-country). My new racing flats are my mid-life crisis red sports car. Q. Why did you join Second Wind? A. I joined Second Wind because I was feeling guilty about attending the speed workouts as a non-member, although Tim was too genteel (no, really) to point it out.
