Today was a fun break to get outdoors and join our friends from Nashoba Learning Group for some fun running in the sun at the Leprechaun Shuffle 5k and Fun Run. Coaches got to relax and just have a good time running with the team. What a great event, and wonderful to catch up with teammates out there doing their thing. A few PR's and firsts out there today too!
Indoor Track Meet
2016 Indoor Team Track Meet
What a blast! We had so much fun wrapping up our indoor season on Sunday, March 13, with our team track meet. Everyone did 2-3 run events and the field events of their choice. Parents, volunteers and coaches all pitched in and did an awesome job with timing, measuring, check in, recording results on ribbons, break down, cheering, and making sure everyone got to their events. Runners all did so well, giving their best efforts all around. Great job everyone!
Indoor track - Round and Round and Round we go...
Some of us would never stop if we weren't forced to! We haven't been hibernating. We've been wintering on the indoor track. It took a bit of adjusting to the new environment and routine (and odd size 146m, 4 lane track), for all of us I think, but we got there! Lots of new faces this season as we build on the drills, running and stretching with an intro to field events (softball throw, shot put, turbo javelin, and standing long jump), and some functional strength. The team also got their first dose of a circuit workout last week. We're preparing now for wrapping up the indoor season with our team meet in March where everyone will compete in at least 2 run events and 1 field event. Then its back outdoors!
Mayor’s Cup XC
The rain held off and temps were perfectly chilly at Franklin Park today for some cross country fun! Jaden and Jack ran the youth 1.1 mile races, and Makai and Ryan took on the Open 5k course. Great job guys!!
He’s Electric!
This guy loves running in races! While the team was practicing Saturday morning, Ryan was spreading his electric spirit and energy through Salem at the Halloween themed Witch City 5k. He’ll light a spark under your heels and illuminate your soul – look for him at your next starting line!
Wayland XC Festival
Spectacular day for racing at the Wayland XC Festival today! Nice job Jaden, Aidan, Makai, and Ryan!!
Teammates Hit The Courses
Congrats to 6 yr old Aidan for running his first race at the Run For Them Apples – Kids 1 mile in Bolton, Ma on Sept. 20! His family put together a video to share the joy – Aidan’s First Race video!
On Sept. 27, Tim had a great time rolling down hills and wheeling his way to the finish line with mom at the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day 5k road race.
Flutie 5k
A few of our crew ran at the 16th Annual Flutie 5k on Sunday. What a fantastic race. Makai led us in with a strong uphill sprint finish leaving Coach Matt P. in the dust (with the baby stroller), followed by Ryan, then Will who ran his first 5k without stopping! Next in was Jack M., Jack U., Aidan who also ran his first 5k without stopping, and Andrew. We were joined by our friend Liam who came down from NH. Thanks, coaches, parents, and guides. Great job everyone!!
