Best Buddies finish made the paper!

Thanks to a family friend for catching the photo in the Milford Daily News. I read the paper online and not all the printed content makes it to the web version.

Boston Volvo Village - Best Buddies 5K

Carolyn and I joined over 700 other runners for a good 5K early this morning. As this was my fourth time running 3 miles in my recovery process, I was quite pleased with being able to complete the 5K with a continuous run. I started easy and gradually picked some folks off while running comfortably. I averaged about 8:33 per mile finishing in 26:29.

Here are some photos from the race.

(yes, I ran with my camera to help keep me from attempting to try and run this as a race)

Thanksgiving Fund Raising

I am raising funds for the Boston Volvo Village 5K Road Race to benefit Best Buddies on Thanksgiving Day.

You can view my page here and if you can contribute, it would be greatly appreciated!

The 5K is a good excuse to get out on the roads before sitting to have a good turkey dinner. It is also an opportunity to benefit an organization doing worthwhile work, Best Buddies!
