See you all next week!

As the daylight starts to dwindle, we start to deal with the realization that Summer is coming to a close. GOOD! Cooler tempatures equals faster times.
We welcomed a good group of runners this evening. With a nice mix of regulars and newbies, and ages ranging from 10 to the 10 at heart.
Our group consisted of 38 runners, with Tim Short finishing first with a time of 17:39. Crystal Anthony finished tops for Women, posting a 19:35. We had seven new runners this week bringing some new flavor and personality, and if I am not mistaken a little friendly rivalry to the fun run.
First Timers:
Keith Levesque 21:38
Tim Lewis 25:22
Andrea Ferri 27:50
Natasha Coyne 27:54
Colleen Napoli 30:32
Mason Nalipinski 38:18
Quanah Lawarence 38:19
The excitment this week would have to be in the 10 year old category. Mason Nalipinski and Quanah Lawrence put on an impressive show for us finishing a mere one second apart. After the run I sensed there may be a little running rivalry in the making. We’ll have to see how this one evolves.
A quick note before closing, shorter days equals less daylight. So think safety. A reflective running vest, a blinking light, a headlamp, olympic torch, a jar of fire flies. Some of these things are good options to consider running with, I leave it up to you to decide which suits you best.
Thanks to all.
We had a great run last night with 32 runners. The weather was perfect and the crowd was a pleasure.
David Long came in first this week with a pretty speedy time of 18:32. Chris Soucy came in second a time of 19:06. Annie Rose Willis was our first female this week with a time of 19:20. James DeLuca, very close behind with a time of 19:23 taking fourth place. Will Keefe, literally on James tail in fifth with a time of 19:24. We have some new PR’s this week. Chris Soucy 19:06, Annie Rose Willis 19:20, James DeLuca 19:23, Brian Drozdowicz 22:24, Greg Crean 23:49, Elaine Currie 25:41. Wow, extraordinary job you all!

A few quick reminders, please remember to check in with Adam when you are done cooling down from your run. We hand out the nifty little popsicle sticks to help keep track of the times and runners. So, if you run on home with your stick we do not know who you are! 
We would also like to remind everyone that our weekly can donations are starting to diminish. So please bring in anything you’d like to donate to the food pantry.
Have a great week and we will see you all Wednesday night.
