And so another 52 week series begins. Yes, the races are held every week, rain or shine, light or dark, red or green.... Charlie Salmond decided to show that young whippersnapper, Jason Reed, just how to run a 5K. Jason, burdened by college studies (those textbooks are heavy), could not keep up with the fierce pace set by Charlie. Carol Hurley took it easy on the male-dominated field by placing an easy seventh.
Team Reed took the same name weekly championships from Team Paradis. Team Worcester took the town title for the first week. Carol, Kimberly, Julie, Peggy, Callie, Laura and Annette were the only women in the 36 person field, once again proving that seven women are equal to about 29 men. Of course.
