Two Weeks From Right Now...

Reach the Beach is my Christmas.  I look forward to it with the same flavor of giddy anticipation that December 25th used to have when I was a kid.  If all goes well, this will be my fifth Reach The Beach-New Hampshire---making me a member of the 1000 Mile Club.  In all four previous runnings I have been a proud member of the Rosie Ruiz Fan Club.  Many runners know who Rosie Ruiz is and they get a kick out of our team name.  If you do not know Ms. Ruiz, click here to find out more.


This year Team Rosie has eleven veterans and one virgin.  (See partial team photo below) We have assured the virgin that it might really hurt the first time, but that there is no possible way he will get pregnant.  I had a good run today straight up the 500-foot hill I have started working into my usual run and I am ready!  Two weeks from RIGHT NOW Van Two will be getting ready for its first legs and I will be practically crawling out of my skin with excitement.  I cannot wait...



Look for our vans decked out in the "T" logo of the MBTA Subway system.  And remember, why run when you can ride?
