The rain was coming down so hard at this race, we decided to run counter-clockwise -- facing the traffic -- because of the poor visibility. ("Pour" visibility?? No pun intended!)

CMS' own Brad Fors won this week's race by over 3 minutes, finishing in a time of 17:31. Considering that Brad was using this 5K run as a tune-up for the Boston Marathon, he should be due for a fast time on Patriot's Day.

In the ladies' race it was Annie Gorski's turn to finish on top (20:35); she outpaced last week's winner Jen Wilcox with some 40 seconds to spare.

... Thank you to Mark Brooks for sharing his computer expertise, and Stan Vancelette for advice on where to find a good pair of running shoes.
